Joe Budden Under Fire for Posting Anti-Sikh Photo on Instagram
Rapper Joe Budden is known for cracking jokes on social media. But his latest joke has landed him in hot water with his Twitter followers.
On Friday (March 28), Twitter user Fateh Singh posted a photo (spotted by HuffPost) that appeared on Budden’s Instagram account of a Sikh man going through airport security. “Not on my watch Homeboy!” read the picture’s caption.
For Sikhs, who wear turbans and beards as part of their religion, they are often misidentified as Muslim. Add a mix of Islamophobia and ignorance and it creates unwarranted bigotry and hatred.
Many fans were upset over Budden’s photo and they expressed their outrage on Twitter.
“F— u @JoeBudden your a clown …u just lost a follower and my respect,” wrote one follower, while another tweeted, “[Joe Budden] fails to understand that “stereotypical terrorist” jokes have gotten innocent sikhs killed, post 9/11, purely off of ignorance.”
However, one Twitter user, Jaskaran Dhanoa tweeted Budden directly and the two had a meaningful dialogue about the photo and how demeaning it is to Sikhs in general.
The Slaughterhouse rapper did take down the photo from his Instagram account. On Saturday (March 29), Budden tweeted an apology to those who were offended by his Instagram post.

Fan From #IsThisYoThot Video To Sue 2 Chainz (@2chainz)
Tina, or 'LuvTinaa' as she is known on her Instagram page, is taking rapper 2 Chainz and his artist Cap 1 for slandering her name in a blog video for #IsThisYoThot.
The debacle began when Tina was mistaken for someone else as she went to meet the rapper backstage after a show. Tina stayed backstage for a few minutes before being asked to leave. After being called a thot (that h** over there) she didn't seem to be offended as she gave the cameras her Instagram name. The rapper has deleted the video, but others have picked it up and it continues to gain views.
The young lady is now suing the rapper after she and her lawyer turned down a settlement rumored to be between $50,000 to $100,000. Tina has posted several photos on her Instagram page, claiming that she is going forward with the lawsuit.
"For the record I'm not a thot, I reset my account because I had family on it. Tauheed Epps aka 2 chainz you will definitely be hearing from my lawyer."
She also threw jabs at the rapper. "See you in court dudley the dragon lookin ass @hairweavekiller"

AP.9 Calls Out Charlamagne After Interview With Coco (@OfficialAP9)
I looks like Bay Area rapper AP.9 is back and has a bone to pick with Charlamagne Tha God.
When Coco stopped by the Breakfast Club this week she talked about her new pleasure line and new ventures with her husband Ice T.
The rapper reposted a picture on Instagram of Charlemagne and the crew after the interview and threatened to come after him because he called him a "fake ass rapper." While no one mentioned the rapper in the interview, Charlamagne responded to the post and said, "When did I exactly call you a fake ass rapper? Your name didn't come up once in this interview. You've been misinformed."
Charlamagne Tha God and the rest of the crew alluded to past cheating rumors when asking the reality star on how she keeps her marriage strong. Back in 2013, Bay Area rapper AP. 9 claimed he had an affair with Coco during her stint in Vegas.
The rapper quickly deleted the post, but you can check it out above.

Lil Boosie's Neighbors Upset Over His Loud House Party [VIDEO]
Lil Boosie is a freed man and he’s already causing a stir in his New Orleans community. Neighbors in the rapper’s upscale subdivision are upset over his loud house party he hosted last weekend and now they are complaining.
According to WGNO News, Boosie hosted a party for his mother’s 60th birthday on March 22 and as you would expect, the ‘Wipe Me Down’ rapper invited family and friends. Apparently, the gathering was too loud for neighbors and they are worried that Boosie will bring more ruckus to their exclusive community.
Boosie just moved into the private, gated-community where he’s renting a home once owned by Birdman.
Boosie’s mother, Connie Hatch, admitted that several parties were held over the weekend but nothing unusual.
“It was just a small family gathering,” she told WGNO News. “We’re in this neighborhood just like everybody else, you understand. Just like everybody else have parties. We have parties too.”
“I just feel like we were being singled out and we have to be fair,” she added.
WGNO New has discovered that neighbors complained about minor parking violations and noise. The community’s association board plans to issue a warning to Boosie first before filing notices against him.
“Well, if that’s what they want to do that’s fine, but let’s be fair, let’s be fair, you know,” Hatch tells WGNO News.
However, a few neighbors in the community believe that other people are being too judgmental on the rapper.
“I’m disappointed I wasn’t invited,” jokes Boosie’s neighbor Joani Ventrella. “A lot of people make the mistake of judging people before they know him and that’s probably what’s happening here. They probably heard who he is and go, ‘Oh god we got rapper in the neighborhood.’ I think if people got to know him maybe they’d feel differently.”
Lil Boosie’s manager had no comment on the matter.
