Taxstone is currently serving a lengthy prison sentence, but time to himself apparently hasn’t curved his appetite to see Joe Budden’s demise.

Following abuse claims made by Budden’s ex-girlfriend Tahiry Jose, the incarcerated media voice took to X to taunt the successful podcaster and offer his platform for any other “victims” of Budden to share their story.

The exchange — mostly filled with sarcastic insults — included the New Jersey native mocking Tax’s prison stint, and the New Yorker fueling the fire that Budden has “beat up all his women.”

Tax and Budden’s back-and-forth ultimately stemmed from Diddy’s unearthed hotel assault video going viral, where he is seen physically assaulting Cassie. As the R&B singer received a great amount of support on top of a settlement from Diddy, Tax claimed that all Tahiry will get from Budden is “3 chopped cheese, [$6,000], and a portable hookah.”

It all began on Wednesday (May 22) when Taxstone seemingly showed sympathy for Budden, writing, “If Joe doesn’t hit women anymore, yall should forgive him. yall don’t live with him. A lot of you forgave your dads and the dude you are with now.”

Flipping the script, he then wrote, “But in the meantime, if Joe beat you up, dm me, I’ll retweet your story.”

Before Budden responded, Tax né Darryl Campbell, claimed that the “Pump It Up” artist gets physical when his “manipulative words” don’t work on people.

“When Joe’s manipulative words don’t work he starts swinging like Canelo on opioids,” he said. “3 puffs a hookah and a ball rub on his dog and he turn into the ni**a that made a woman write ‘what’s love got to do with it.'”

He added that Budden will then, “guilt trip his way out, act depressed, slightly suicidal statement to say they’re trying to take his hookah money with rampant fabrications. Admit that he tries to save sex workers from having sex with athletes and rappers until he can’t afford to keep them in the house.”

Almost 10 minutes later, Joe Budden hopped in to defend himself and return the insults to the Tax Season podcast host.

The 43-year-old’s comebacks focused much on Tax’s incarceration as he sarcastically said the former rapper has “all the time in the world,” and a “lifetime” before he could ever watch a hypothetical documentary named “Life After Joe Budden.”

The jab led Tax to invite Budden to be his cell mate, which Tax said would happen if Budden “beat his next girl up.” He also claimed that he’d bully Budden into “washing his socks.”

As if the public spat wasn’t entertaining enough, Taxstone then went on to criticize Joe Budden’s podcast skills.

“All you do is manipulate all your friends they sitting on the couch with you like the script was written by Jordan Peele you hypnotizing ni**s into believing that BS you be selling all day,” he wrote. “They know you wrong but can’t swim out the swamp cause they became reptiles with u.”

The latter led Budden to clown Taxstone for his “lack” of fighting skills and being in jail behind fatally shooting Troy Ave’s bodyguard at an NYC concert in 2016.

“Wash your socks?? You ain’t learned how to fight that well yet, that’s how you got in there buddy,” Budden taunted, as Tax eventually responded, “Smh why you wanna joke on me being in jail cause you beat all ya women up why you won’t tweet to all of them bro ?? They the ones that got hurt by you ??”

Joe Budden and Taxstone both stopped responding after an hour of exchanges.
