Speaking candidly with Vlad TV, Yayo confessed, “I was scared for Joe Budden.” His apprehension stemmed from the volatile history between the two artists, raising concerns that their long-standing animosity could boil over. Despite the apparent peace for the evening, Yayo pointed out the stakes of such a public setting, noting that a confrontation at Madison Square Garden is not just a personal affair – it’s a spectacle that would dominate headlines. “Madison Square Garden is like the airport,” he explained. “If you pop off there, you’re banned forever. You don’t want to get into an altercation.”
