Young Buck was quick to laugh off Fat Joe’s recent claim of his crew once beating him up years ago, albeit with the unfortunate use of generative AI.
In case you missed it, Joe made the claim during a recent episode of the Joe and Jada podcast, which—like The Breakfast Club and other iHeartMedia titles—will soon see its video versions being released on Netflix.
“I never told nobody this story before,” Joe said in an episode released Thursday (Dec. 19), before claiming he “caught Young Buck” following a festival performance in Chicago years ago, later specifying this was “at the height of the beef.”
According to Joe, who said he had “the ugly ones” by his side at the time, Buck “tried to front” on him as he was making his way from the stage. He further claimed he initially responded by tossing a water bottle in Buck’s direction while daring him to descend a staircase at the venue and face him directly, leading to cops forming “a barricade.”
Joe went on to suggest that Buck was beaten up by his crew, again describing them as “the ugly ones.” He did not specify when, exactly, this alleged incident occurred.
In the first of several responses, Buck shared an AI-generated video to Instagram, opting for third-person voice in the style of a breaking news article in the accompanying caption.
“BREAKING NEWS JUST DROPPED,” he wrote, as seen below. “20 YEARS later and [Young Buck] finally out the ER from that [Fat Joe] 2-piece. STAY TUNED...As This Story Develops. This man a survivor.”
For a follow-up, Buck maintained the breaking news-style mockery of Joe’s claim, writing “Young Buck finally released from Nashville ER — 20 YEARS after a Fat Joe whooping!” In the same post, he joked that he was “expected to make a full recovery in 4-6 more decades.”
Buck continued on Friday (Dec. 19), this time offering Joe, again in jest, “a biscuit” to go with his “two-piece.”
For now, Joe does not appear to have publicly responded to Buck’s jokes. Presumably, it’s only a matter of time before 50 Cent jumps into the conversation.
