Now that Joe Budden seems to be done beefing with Drake, it looks like he has more free time on his hands … to call out other rappers on Twitter. His competitive nature came to light again Saturday (August 20) as he baited Lupe Fiasco into some Twitter sparring.
After a tweet from a fan that tagged both rappers together, Budden playfully threw some jabs at the Tetsuo & Youthrapper, claiming that Fiasco was afraid of him when it came to both Street Fighter and rapping. A bold claim, to say the least, since Fiasco is a well-known Street Fighter enthusiast, even making headlines in February when he took a surprise win against one of the world’s best players.
The online interaction never went beyond light-hearted joking, with Budden eventually giving Fiasco the win.
“I just love fucking w dude cuz he’s super nice to be honest,” he posted at one point.
