Lewd, Rude And Nude: Joe Budden Podcast Gets Sued
The ongoing battle between disgruntled neighbors of Joe Budden and his successful podcast network seemed to be over back in January in a case that Joe himself chucked up to nothing more than harmless sleepwalking — in the nude, mind you, but harmless nonetheless.
Unfortunately for the former “Pump It Up” emcee, their complaint has now grown into an all-out lawsuit after said neighbors, John and Yuliya Aksoy, lawyered up with attorney Thomas Mirigliano in an updated complaint that also includes his Joe Budden Podcast co-host, Melyssa Ford, and the condo association for engaging in a “campaign of intimidation and retribution.”

RELATED: How Lewd! Joe Budden Charged In NJ, Caught Naked On Neighbor’s Ring Camera
Take a look at more detail from TMZ‘s exclusive report below:
“John and Yuliya both claim they confronted Budden about the excessive noise from the podcast and complained about Budden and co. smoking weed in the condo’s common area, leaving ashes on the property, and creating a hazardous health situation for their young daughter.
The Aksoys said they even filed a complaint with the condo association, leading to Budden firing back and accusing Yuliya of making racially charged remarks toward him.
They say Budden even doubled down and claimed to have a recording of the alleged racism. John says he called his bluff and told him to produce the audio, which they say still hasn’t surfaced.”
The Askoys used Joe’s own podcast against him in the suit by citing the JBP episode from Oct. 19, 2024 (EP. 768), where they accuse the crew of deliberately playing loud music, sirens and even simulated gunshots for what they described as more than 8 minutes. Based on the clip below, you’ll can determine for yourselves how loud they get in conversation and the editing of the sirens at the end.
Joe’s lawyer, Nima Ameri, doubled down on her client’s previous claim that The Askoys are targeting him because he’s Black, telling TMZ that it’s “a money grab attempt by a person we believe to be a racist.”
We hope things come to an end sooner rather than later, or at least before any footage begins to leak. That’s an update nobody wants!
