50 Cent has responded to Joe Budden’s comments suggesting he needs therapy, following his controversial reaction to the death of Murder Inc. co-founder Irv Gotti.

The Power producer took to Instagram to fire back at Budden, telling him to “stay out my mix.”

Budden, on a recent podcast episode, criticized 50’s post about Gotti’s passing, in which the rapper shared a photo of himself smoking hookah with a caption that read, “I’m smoking on dat Gotti pack. Nah God bless him LOL.”

Budden argued that there was “no record of Irv Gotti trying to kill 50 Cent,” dismissing the idea that Hip-Hop culture justifies such behavior. He then stated, “50 Cent needs therapy. I don’t care if you agree with the rationale.”

50 Cent was quick to fire back, posting a screenshot of Budden’s comments and writing, “Stay out my mix, Joe, talking about I need therapy.”
