Troy Ave debuted his brand new podcast, The Facto Show, last week and he just had to get the ball rolling with some dramatic ish. 

On the first episode, he started speaking about Joe Budden, who he refers to as “Hoe Buttons.” Just about an hour through the podcast, he started talking about the retired rapper, calling him “emotional” and claiming to know the reason why.

“Hoe Buttons, Joe Budden, you emotional motherfucker,” he said. “That n***a’s always emotional, man. I don’t know what the fuck is going on. I think it’s the drugs, he’s a fucking junkie, man.”

Expanding on his drug theory, Troy Ave then claimed that he and Fabolous may have something to do with why Joe Budden is always stirring the pot.

“It’s either the drugs or it might be… you know what I think? The main thing that makes this n***a emotional is probably because me and Fab fucked all the women that he’s ever loved in his life,” he said. “Between the two of us. We fucked every woman that he’s loved. So, maybe it’s like a Desert Storm thing when he goes at Fab or throws a little shot at me or whatever. It’s cool. Just know I didn’t forget.”

The Joe Budden Hoe Buttons talk begins at the 52:05 point.

Not long after announcing that he and his wife Crystal Smith planned to divorce, Ne-Yo stepped back into the music scene with a brand new single “Pinky Ring” featuring O.T. Genasis. The superproducer-singer-songwriter and his ex have been cordial in the media and during his visit to Pull Up with Joe Budden, Ne-Yo expounded on his personal life.

“‘Pinky Ring’ is a song about taking lemons and turning them into lemonade,” the singer said. “It is about a situation that anybody can use as an excuse to be down and feel a way, but instead, taking it and letting it be a positive thing. Not allowing it to bring you down.” Joe didn’t seem too satisfied with the answer and wanted to know what Ne-Yo did that led to the breakup with his wife.

“Without incriminating myself, without incriminating her and without putting any negative connotation on this… I will say that neither one of us was exactly who we needed to be in order for this to last, and that’s why it didn’t. Bottom line,” Ne-Yo said. “That’s what it was. I own mine, she owns hers, and the craziest thing is there’s no beef, there’s no animosity, there’s no love lost because we both understand that.”

Budden wasn’t convinced that there’s no beef between Ne-Yo and Crystal and called the singer “oblivious to what’s going on.” Ney-Yo disagreed. Budden later talked about his struggle with getting his engagement ring back from his ex-fiancé Cyn Santana and was surprised to hear that Crystal gave her wedding ring to Ne-Yo without a problem. Budden revealed he had to legally wait for the courts to rule on the matter.

According to Ne-Yo, Crystal isn’t the type of person who would hold onto something in order to get back at him or make things difficult. “She’s never been petty like that,” Ne-Yo added. “She’s never been money petty like that. That’s not her.” Watch Ne-Yo and Joe Budden chop it up on Pull Up below.

It's not uncommon for reality stars to take to their social media accounts after their shows air to clear up any misconceptions about a recent episode. On Monday, Love & Hip Hop New York's Erica Mena thought a few things needed to be said about a scene that showed her friends Jonathan and JuJu alerting Cyn Santana that Erica had plans to hook up Cyn's ex Joe Budden with Joe's ex Tahiry. Of course, Erica and Cyn are also exes, making this whole circle as confusing as ever.

"Joe is a grown man," Cyn said in the episode. "Whoever Joe loves, he gon' be with. I'm just hurt and I'm like, appalled at Erica. We loved and cared for each other once upon a time but all of a sudden, Cyn and Joe are no longer together and Erica is so invested in putting him back with his ex?" Erica took Twitter to clarify a few things.

"You females are funny," she wrote. "So when table talk was happening and motherf*ckers was sitting around gossiping crazy about Me & rumors on my husband y’all wasn’t screaming out ' be a woman first' Now that y’all see tears I’m all these disgusting things?! Okay got it." She added, "I understand how it looks. But when will y’all understand editing is going to show you what it wants to show you. Certain people celebrated at my babyshower for a reason. And that scene from last night was one of them. If I was really all these things why am I ALWAYS blessed?"

A Twitter user told Erica she was "messy" and said she needed to "stay out of other people's business." Erica replied, "If it’s about being a decent human being why was it okay for her to sit around to help spread blog rumors with an individual she befriended only because they are my enemy? Feelings?! The same feelings she had when she made people attack my husband because he was with me?! B*tch?."

After going tit-for-tat with a few Love & Hip Hop New York fans, Erica told people they need to relax with how invested they are in the series. "At this end of the day this is a television show," she said. "And to be receiving death threats off this is completely disgusting. No one is perfect but we all are great at our job. To threaten someone because they get their job done is sick."

There are always plenty of talking points coming out of each episode of Love & Hip Hop. Whether you prefer the New York, Miami, Hollywood, or other spin-off versions of the popular series, the show will always be wildly entertaining because of the ridiculous amounts of drama being displayed throughout its runtime. Without question, Love & Hip Hop always tries to steal the attention away from competing programs, using antics and sheer nonsense to get the crowd coming back for more. Cyn Santana has become a staple of the show alongside of ex-boyfriend Joe Budden and, during a recent episode, she could be seen testing out her chops in the recording studio. The results were ear-clenching for most viewers with some taking to social media to formally request Cyn puts down the microphone.

Relationships come, relationships go, but would you be alright with your ex from long ago hooking up your ex’s ex with your most recent ex? It sounds a little complicated, and it is. People are still rooting for Joe Budden and Cyn Santana’s romance with hopes that the former couple will once again find love with each other. The two welcomed a son and were even engaged at one point, but something took a turn and they decided to call it quits altogether.

They’ve been doing their best at co-parenting, but the couple has rehashed their breakup drama for VH1 on the current season of Love & Hip Hop New York. Also rejoining the cast is Cyn ex-girlfriend Erica Mena, who is now married to Safaree Samuels, and while the two had a fiery break years ago, they’re able to be cordial now that so much time has passed. Also making her way back to L&HHNY is Joe’s ex Tahiry—and the last time fans saw her on the reality show was when she was turning down Joe’s marriage proposal.

Erica and Tahiry are friends, and their reunion has reportedly caused the pregnant Mrs. Samuels to want to play matchmaker. In a clip from the show, Cyn’s friend Jonathan thought she needed to know what was going on. “We were talking to Tahiry, Joe’s name came up,” he said. JuJu chimed in: “Tahiry told us Erica is determined to hook [her] up with [her] ex, with Joe.” Cyn was surprised to hear that Erica would do something like that. “Why is she even mentioning it?” Cyn asked. “What was the purpose of that?”

“Joe is a grown man,” Cyn said in the clip. “Whoever Joe loves, he gon’ be with. I’m just hurt and I’m like, appalled at Erica. We loved and cared for each other once upon a time but all of a sudden, Cyn and Joe are no longer together and Erica is so invested in putting him back with his ex?” Jonathan and JuJu also shared that they spoke with Tahiry about how Joe was receiving the possibility of rekindling a romance with her. “She was very evasive with her answer,” Jonathan said.
