What happened between Joe Budden and Yung Miami? Online spat over ‘Pump It Up’ gold plaque explored

Joe Budden and Yung Miami clashed over the former receiving a gold plaque for his 2003 hit track Pump It Up. Budden's Pump It Up went Gold in August of last year and he was presented with the official gold plaque by LL COOL J on a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast. A clip of the event was uploaded to X by @SayCheese on Thursday, August 22.

Miami responded to the clip with a few laughing emojis and further commented about how she was 9 when the track came out but was now 30. Budden responded by claiming that "it would be too easy," to which Miami responded by reminding the podcast host of a time when he was laughing at her, seemingly hinting at Budden's negative comments about her podcast Caresha Please from 2023.

"I was 9 im 30 now": Yung Miami on Joe Budden's 'Pump It Up' taking 20 years to go gold

Joe Budden released the hit track Pump It Up back in March of 2003. The track was the lead single off of Budden's debut album named after himself and debuted at 38 on the Billboard Hot 100. The track with a music video inspired by the horror film The Ring went on to become certified gold, 20 years after its release on August 22, of last year.

Recently during an episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, veteran rapper LL Cool J presented Budden with the gold plaque as the people around him filled the room with applause. Budden embraced and marveled at his achievement for a while before thanking his supporters.

The latest exchange between the two began when Yung Miami took to X (formerly known as Twitter) on Thursday, August 22, to react to a clip of Budden receiving the honor by tweeting out, "😂😂😂😂😂😂". When one X user joined Miami by responding to her tweet on Budden by tweeting out "resh😭😭😭😭😭😭😭", Yung Miami responded:

"I was 9 im 30 now 😭😭😭😭😭"

Joe Budden, who did not take too well to the rapper's mockery, responded by tweeting:

"It would be too easy….."

In response to Budden's comment, Yung Miami went all out on the podcast host by tweeting out:

"Another one bites the dust remember??? You was just celebrating when you THOUGHT I took an L. I can laugh YOU was just laughing at me so LETS LAUGH! 😂😂😂"

The hostility between Miami and Budden seems to originate from the latter's 2023 comments about the former's REVOLT TV show Caresha Please. In a December 2023 appearance on The Need to Know Podcast, Joe Budden expressed his delight at thinking that Miami's show was seemingly coming to an end.

Budden remarked that the BET Award winner might never see "another list in her life." While mocking Miami's show Budden also sang along to Queen's 1980 hit track Another One Bites the Dust. The former rapper continued:

"love when a two-time award-winner — I love when they just it’s over now. She won the award two years in a row. Now I don’t care about that stuff. However, you know when there’s a glitch in the matrix. Yeah, get the fuck out of here."

Miami's Caresha Please took home the award for the Best Hip Hop Platform two years in a row, in 2022 and 2023. Last year, the show emerged victorious after going toe-to-toe with other widely popular shows like The Joe Budden Podcast, Drink Champs, and The Breakfast Club prompting a slew of criticism over Yung Miami's win.

In a previous appearance on The Breakfast Club in October of that year, Yung Miami criticized the people who thought that she did not deserve anything. The Caresha Please star remarked:

"I work hard. I deserve everything. When I just did my first live podcast, it was around the corner. It’s new. We’re in a new time. We’re in a new generation. I’m bringing something new, so why I don’t deserve it?"

Yug Miami later took to X in December to announce that the internet was toxic and she was leaving. Caresha Please returned to Revolt TV with its second season recently on Thursday, August 8 of this year.
