Joe Budden’s neighbors are determined to get some coins from the top podcaster and have filed a lawsuit against him, claiming that he tried to break into their home naked and that his filming is disrupting their building.
John and Yuliya Aksoy say that Budden, his podcast co-host Melyssa Ford, and the condo association are participating in a “campaign of intimidation and retribution” because they don’t want him to film in their building.
They allege Budden and his crew make far too much noise for the building and that they smoke marijuana in the building’s common areas even though they have a young daughter.
Adults 21 years and older can buy recreational cannabis at a licensed dispensary in the state of New Jersey.
Budden was charged with lewdness in early December when his neighbor spotted him naked in the hallway outside of their home. Budden has spoken of his sleepwalking activities in the past.
The charges of lewdness and stalking charges against him were dismissed.
In response to the lawsuit, Budden’s lawyer, Nima Ameri, told TMZ that the filing is just “a money grab attempt by a person we believe to be a racist.”
