Surprisingly, Joe Budden has taken Eminem’s side in his renewed beef with the former co-owner of The Source magazine, Benzino.

Discussing the recently resurrected feud between the longtime rivals on his self-titled podcast, Joe Budden — who used to be signed to Eminem’s Shady Records as one quarter of Slaughterhouse before they fell out — made it clear he is no fan of Benzino.

“Eminem rhymed animal control with Sandra Bullock’s nose. Em loves rapping so much yo. Nobody else is gonna rhyme Sandra Bullock’s nose with animal control. I like it.” said Joe Budden.

Then he continued while praising Em’s “Doomsday Pt. 2” diss song.: “Maybe punching down is back. I’m with anybody dissing Benzino. Y’all see that ni–a coming out the pool on some bodybuilder s–t with the water glistening off his body trying to be like a seal or some s–t?

“Old ni–as shouldn’t do that. He do too much s–t that old n-ggas shouldn’t do. And I know he tried to bang that transgender. I don’t care what that n-gga say. I know he did! It’s been there! Now me and Em on the same side — look what you did, Benzino. I ain’t never had a problem with Benzino, but Benzino do make being 50 look corny. For real.” Joe Budden also joked.

As for Benzino’s beef with Eminem, he has since responded to “Doomsday Pt. 2” with two tracks: “Vulturious” and “Rap Elvis.” The latter found the 58-year-old questioning Slim Shady’s loyalty to his hometown of Detroit, criticizing his career as a label owner and calling him out for his treatment of Black women. The pair’s rivalry dates back to the mid-2000s during Benzino’s tenure at The Source magazine.
