American rapper, Joseph Anthony, better known as Joe Budden has come under heavy fire from music fans in Nigeria after he described the current album of Burna Boy as ‘ridiculous’.
The American rapper had playfully taken to his Twitter page on Monday, 12th August 2019, saying: “If nobody told you by now, that Burna Boy album is ridiculous.”
If nobody told you by now, that Burna Boy album is ridiculous

Joe Budden’s submission expectedly drew the ire of music fans in Nigeria who slammed the American rapper on social media.
A Nigerian music fan Oshomah @JohnNetworQ who was the first among many to fire a salvo at Joe Budden wrote thus:
“Ridiculous enough for you to mention right ? No offense but ur entire career is ridiculous G. This is bitterness of the highest level. @burnaboy has gotten more recognition in ur home soil than u can ever wish for. Stop the HATE joe. And yeah, he richer too.
Joe Budden calmly replied @JohnNetworQ when he wrote thus on Twitter; saying: “Ridiculous meant amazing. Enjoy your day.
Ridiculous meant amazing, enjoy your day.

However, another Twitter user @Barishadness1 who got the drift of the rapper’s comment to mean Burna Boy’s album was hot wrote saying:
“Simple English…folks is getting it twisted….finish High school and stop bulshitin…Ridiculous in different meanings….Google or find a dictionary to know more about it….Salute Joe..
Meanwhile, some Nigerians who still don’t understand the gist has continued to bash the American rapper.

😂😂😂…Don't get mad,Joe Budden lives off saying shit like this.Its business as usual..But on another note,it would really do the @burnaboy brand a whole lot of good if he starts a beef with Joe Budden.Some major international exposure if he plays it right. https://t.co/kvj8Lg5YOf

If Joe Budden had continued his statement, we would have understood the context. How can you say “Burna boy’s album is ridiculous “ and expect people to be able to decipher it means amazing

Or she is currently on hallucinogens. Context matters. If Joe Budden (his problematic nature aside) wished to bash Burna Boy's album, there are numerous words he WOULD have used instead of "ridiculous". This wasn't an exam, it wasn't a US congressman or an English professor /2

Daddy K, apparently you guys didnt get the joke. Ridiculously was said "tongue in cheek". I apologize if TY feels bad . Check out Joe Budden's tweet on BurnaBoy's album to understand the joke.

That tweet was too short to know if it was negative or positive.. he literally just said “burna boys album is ridiculous”… and it’s Joe Budden!!! Let’s not forget he’s literally the king of shade and dissing people… I think it was expected it’d be seen as negative

We too dey vex for this country— ngozy (@itsnotOs) August 13, 2019
Honestly I ain’t gon front I didnt know what Joe Budden meant by ridiculous. I wasn’t about to jump into conclusions but man is known for hating soo 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️. Joe Budden could’ve easily said Burna Boy’s album wack if that were his opinion and it wouldn’t change any real thing.

Joe budden wasn't hating on burna boy as far as I'm concerned… First time I read the tweet I saw it as "good" ridiculous , then Joe came out and even clarified his position

Joe Budden tweets Burna Boys album is ridiculous.. You carry your Naija mentality to insult him…. only for Joe to reply that ridiculous meant Amazing in US Music industry Parlance.
You are still forming bad guy…instead of carrying your L jeje

Anyone who read a negative meaning into that Joe Budden’s tweet about Burna Boy, needs to stay out of the internet.
