On December 4, 2024, Joe Budden, a well-known media personality and former rapper, was arrested in Edgewater, New Jersey, following a strange and unexpected incident.
According to a police report released on December 30, Budden was caught completely naked outside a neighbor’s apartment, attempting to enter a keypad code on their door.
The incident came to light after the neighbor’s doorbell camera recorded Budden’s actions. The footage shows the 44-year-old standing unclothed and trying to access the apartment multiple times before eventually returning to his own unit across the hall. Alarmed, the resident alerted authorities, leading to Budden’s arrest on charges of disorderly lewdness.
Lewdness is defined as behaving in an obscene or indecent manner in public. In this case, the alleged act occurred within a residential building, making it even more concerning to local residents. A screenshot of Budden’s arrest record quickly went viral on social media on December 29, with many expressing disbelief at the situation.Budden has publicly mentioned his struggles with sleepwalking on his podcast, which might explain his behavior during the incident. However, the legal implications remain serious. The Edgewater Police Department confirmed his court date for January 16, 2025, where he will face the charges brought against him.
The incident adds a dramatic twist to Budden’s ongoing personal controversies. While he transitioned from music to becoming a successful podcaster, moments like these continue to spark debates about his off-screen life.
A social media post about his arrest stated, “Breaking News: @JoeBudden has a court date on Jan 16th for disorderly lewdness.” It also suggested there might be more behind Budden’s recent podcast relocation.
Budden’s legal team has not yet commented on the charges. Fans and followers are eagerly waiting for his court appearance, hoping for clarification and resolution.
