Joe Budden Addresses His Ties To Diddy and The Freak Offs

Joe Budden has been Diddy's friend and colleague.

He also seems like a pretty freaky dude.

But he wants everyone to know he never attended one of Puff's now-notorious freak-offs.

"For the last time, can y’all take me off the list of names that y’all think is on these tapes?" Joe Budden asked. "Why are y’all so hell-bent on putting n*ggas on these tapes?  Joe I ran the jokes long but I thought the joke was a joke because of who I be. Clearly it’s a new crop of people out there that don’t know who I be, so they like, 'Oh, he might be that.' I ain’t. No more jokes. Even though I was a force in that world for three weeks. They was ready to trick. They was offering vacays and Fifth Avenue shopping sprees without even an inch of flirting. I know how the bitches feel ... "I'm not on these tapes, man.  There's nothing there.  My dad called me ... I'm not on the tapes.  It's OK."

You buy it?
