During a Patreon exclusive episode titled Just Your Average Joe, Erica and Milah recounted a visit to the Joe Budden Network studios that left them feeling uneasy.
“We debated about disclosing this but, would we be GMBC if we avoided the truth? Unfortunately, these type (sp) of situations often get normalized and swept under the carpet at the expense of women. Tis the season of not ignoring micro or macro aggressions + telling whole truths regardless of who’s bothered,” the podcasters shared.

One of the snippets doing the rounds on social media shows Erica reflecting on the moment she felt uncomfortable around Budden and his co-hosts.
This incident allegedly took place during their appearance on the Joe Budden podcast’s Patreon exclusive I’ll Be By The Plant, on 21 March 2024.
“So, we went to go take a picture, and this is before they start recording. You know they line up on the skyline and they were like ‘Erica, come over here and take a picture.’ And so I went over there, and I didn’t really know where to get in between any of them, they were all kind of lined up,” she recalled.
As she navigated where to stand for the picture, Budden made a comment that left her feeling uncomfortable.
Despite her attempt to dismiss the remark, the lack of reaction from those around them added to the awkwardness of the situation.
“Then I was like, I guess I’ll just squeeze in here (next to Joe Bidden). And then out of nowhere, Joe says ‘You better watch out, or you’ll get f’d.’ And I said, ‘Oh?… Okay.’ I was so caught off guard I just said, ‘Joe, stop. Like, don’t do that, come on.’ And everyone around just like didn’t say anything,” Erica added.
Joe Budden, who is no stranger to similar accusations, has yet to respond to the claims made by Erica and Milah.
Scottie Beam blasts Budden for past ‘inappropriate’ actions on set
His cohost and friend, singer Emanny, said this in reaction to the viral snippet: “I feel used and played …..and I’m def not letting it slide.”
Blogger Scottie Beam also had words for Joe Budden recently. The pair were cohosts on the now-decommissioned REVOLT talk show, State of the Culture.
On Thursday, reacting to Budden’s fiery words where he addressed her in a recent episode for calling him out on Twitter over his apparent silence on the Diddy raids, Scottie, real name Deanii Andrea Scott, tweeted:
“Lying is insane. But expected from a drug addict. Especially when Andre Harrell called to apologise on your behalf for your ‘inappropriate’ ‘aggressive’ actions with me on set… And that’s why I left. Clean it up, coke whore. Constantly trying to be aggressive and weird to women is not ok. Clearly, there is a pattern.
“I don’t care what narrative you spin from this. I just have to be honest. And I’ll talk about it when I’m ready. That’s it.”
Claims of Budden’s coke addiction could not be verified, albeit his girlfriend, Shadée Monique tweeted a blue cap emoji, which, colloquially, suggests an accusation that Scottie is lying.
