Joe Budden Challenges Cam’ron to Sue Him for Defamation for Melyssa Ford’s False Accusations
UPDATE (12/9):
Cam'ron has responded to Joe Budden on his Instagram account. In his post, Cam shared a clip of Joe on his podcast clowning people for their taste in Instagram models who may not live up to the beauty standards of TJBP co-host Melyssa Ford, who's a veteran model herself.
"You n***as be on Instagram liking the bad escorts. Going crazy. The cheap ones," Joe said in the clip. "B***hes be 50 [years old] [and weigh] 500 pounds. You n***as be writing in the comments writing s**t. Stop playing with n***as up here."
"Honestly, I observe," he added. "I'm trying to be cool 'cause n***as got relationships. But enough now."
Cam captioned the video: "Ohh she's an expensive escort?!! How much bro?"
The Dipset leader also shared a photo of Joe Budden wearing a leopard-print short set and open-toe sandals. In addition, the song “Stay With Me" by Mary J. Blige is playing in the background with the following lyrics, "Why am I so emotional? This is not a good look, gain some self-control.”

Joe Budden Challenges Cam'ron to Sue Over Melyssa Ford's Comments
A snippet of a video from the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast features Joe Budden daring Cam'ron to sue him for defamation over Melyssa Ford's false allegations that she made on the show. In the clip, which surfaced on social media on Saturday (Dec. 9), Joe emphatically stated that he's in solidarity with Ford and will not engage in a back-and-forth with Cam or any other podcaster. Instead, he's going to take the high road and not engage in the bickering.
"I think every one of you n***as is goofy," Joe said in the video, which can be viewed below.
"I take the high road because I'm not engaging with none of you n***as out there," he continued. "I don't do back-and-forths with none of you n***as out there. I don't do responding."
In response to Cam'ron, who threatened to sue Joe over Ford's false allegations that he and Ma$e allegedly engaged in sex with underage prostitutes, Joe further added that he stands with Mel "on all fronts" and the rest is just "shenanigans." He encouraged the Harlem, N.Y. rapper to sue if he thinks he has a case.
"You think you got a lawsuit, call your lawyer," challenged Joe. "You got enough lawyers. I think they'll advise you against it. And I don't think n***as papers is long enough for frivolous lawsuits that they don't have a chance on winning."
"Call your lawyer and look up what defamation means," he added. "I'm not doing this s**t with you n***as out here. You n***as are trying to play algorithm games and I'm not here for none of it."
Joe Budden concluded that no one on his podcast plays "clout-chasing games."
