Joe Budden has some choice words for ex-girlfriend Tahiry Jose after she accused him of being a hypocrite for condemning Diddy‘s acts of domestic violence.
The exchange on social media took place on Wednesday (May 22), after the podcaster called the footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie “disgusting” and the mogul’s subsequent apology “insincere.”
After The Shade Room shared a clip of the criticism on social media, Tahiry took to the comments and accused her former partner of doing the very same thing he is now condemning.
“FOH, who??? The irony. This is so triggering!!!” she wrote. “I remember joey throwing me down a flight of stairs dragging me back into the house & me having to talk him into letting me go. FOR HOURS!!!! This whole shit took me out. So hard to watch. So sorry for Cassie and every other woman who is currently going through it or has ever gone through it. It’s tough.”
Wasting little time, the New Jersey MC responded with a long paragraph in the same comment section and denied her claims of abuse. In doing do, he deeming her a liar and a gold digger, among other things.
“Tahiry you are a lying, failed gold digger that has abused, targeted and manipulated many men,” he said. “Outside of me you lack an identity which is why you’ve tried desperately to attach yourself to me for over 15 years. The last time i saw you i purchased a mattress from you and you were happy you made the sale, you were fine then.
“There was that night after Starlets 6 years ago when you invited me inside your new place, you were fine then too. You were on my body your entire last stint on Love & HipHop and tried your best to disrespect my son’s mother in the process, i had to ask producers to keep you away from us like the cancer you are!! Yet you continue to slight my name online because… it’s your identity.”
He added: “I don’t speak to you or about you because it’s low vibrational. You’re a low level Dyckman con woman that’s been lying about (you already know) for ages. I pray you heal and move on one day, hopefully this is our last exchange…. Prayers to all real victims”

Last year, Cassie became the first of many to sue the mogul for sexual assault, harassment, misconduct and more. Per documents obtained by HipHopDX, the 37-year-old accused her former partner of rape, sex trafficking and physical abuse, among other things.
As the lawsuits against him continued to pile up, the New York City native released a statement and collectively denied all the claims made against him despite settling the case with the “Me & U” hitmaker out of court.
Joe Budden Defends Removing Commentary On Diddy Assault Video From Podcast
In disturbing footage from 2016 obtained by CNN, the Bad Boy boss could be seen grabbing his ex by the neck and throwing her to the floor. He then kicked her repeatedly, grabbed her personal items and then kicked her once again before running back to his hotel room. She then tried to use a phone to call for assistance, which prompted the “Tell Me” rapper to shove her down to the ground.
All of this was detailed in Cassie’s lawsuit, which Diddy initially denied by writing: “I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
However, he admitted to the beating in a social media post soon after the assault video went viral.
“It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that. I was fucked up — I mean, I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses,” the 54-year-old said. “My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I’m disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now.
“I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”
