Joe Budden is being sued by his neighbors upset over his podcast and the nude sleepwalking incident.
Joe Budden is being sued by the same neighbors who caught him approaching their front door butt-naked.
The rapper and podcast host has been named in a lawsuit filed by his neighbors, John and Yuliya Aksoy, who accuse Budden, his co-host Melyssa Ford, and the condo association of launching a “campaign of intimidation and retribution” after the Aksoys complained about him recording his podcast in the building, TMZ reports.
According to a complaint filed by attorney Thomas Mirigliano on behalf of the Aksoys, Budden has been a nuisance at the property by recording his popular podcast on-site. The Aksoys allege that excessive noise from the podcast, along with weed smoke lingering in the condo’s common areas and leftover ashes, is creating a hazardous health situation for their young daughter.
The couple alleges that after filing a complaint with the condo association, Budden retaliated by accusing them of racism. He claimed to have recordings proving the alleged racism but never produced them when asked.
As a result of the incident, Budden was temporarily barred from the building. However, he eventually returned, as did his podcast recordings at the property. His attorney, Nima Ameri, dismissed the lawsuit as “a money grab attempt by a person we believe to be a racist.”
In the meantime, Budden continues to record his podcast in the building as he navigates the legal dispute with his neighbors.
