Kid Cudi’s recent revelation about a stalker breaking into his home took an unexpected turn when Joe Budden and the JBP crew dissected the situation with their signature mix of humor and skepticism. In a clip from the show, the team reacts to Cudi’s social media post detailing how an obsessed fan, who had allegedly been following him for years, managed to sneak into his house, go through his belongings, eat his food, and even take a shower—all in an effort to discuss a potential collaboration.
Budden and his co-hosts found the story almost too strange to believe, joking about the idea that someone would go to such extremes just to pitch a music idea. They speculated whether the stalker had a deeper connection to Cudi than he let on, pointing out how oddly comfortable the intruder seemed in his home. The conversation took a comedic turn when they noted how Cudi casually mentioned his fiancée in the post, with Budden suggesting it was a not-so-subtle flex.
The discussion also touched on Cudi’s claim that the incident has made him more withdrawn in public. Budden wasn’t convinced, sarcastically questioning who ever viewed Cudi as particularly social in the first place. He also called out the common celebrity contradiction of claiming not to check social media while responding to public reactions, highlighting how Cudi’s post contradicted that narrative.
Despite the jokes and exaggerated reactions, the JBP crew acknowledged the serious nature of home invasions. But in true podcast fashion, they couldn’t resist poking fun at the peculiar details of the story, turning a chilling incident into another entertaining discussion.
