Joe Budden speaks out on the dangers of Molly

Well, at least one rapper isn't trying to glorify the ever-so-popular drug known as Molly. In a recent interview with Fox 5, Dirty Jerz rep Joe Budden has taken the time to warn the public about the dangers of the drug.

Last night on Fox 5 News in New York, Joe Budden spoke out on the dangers of music's new "it" drug, "Molly." 

Mentioning things that we broke down in our multiple stories about what is looked at as a relatively "harmless" drug, Budden opened up about the drug binges he went on during this past summer.

“I didn't see a problem with the fact that maybe five days would go by without sleeping. I didn't see a problem with the fact that maybe I was hallucinating at times. I didn't see a problem with the fact that I just could not get up and walk some times,” Budden told Lisa Evers of Fox 5 New York.

Budden went on to elaborate about his usage during tapings of Love & Hip-Hop: New York and during the making of Slaughterhouse's latest album, Welcome To: OUR HOUSE. “I thought it was important for somebody, anybody to stand up and say, you know, ‘I did that, it's corny.'”

The No Love Lost rapper acknowledged that the use of the drug has run rampant in the music industry and wants to be the first one to speak out against it now that he is sober. “I'm hoping that at the end of the day, it won't be me versus the entire music industry when it comes to who a 13-year-old should listen to regarding drugs.”

Also, earlier in the week, Budden crashed an interview with Hot 97 to confront Consequence about being a little too loose at the mouth about him. Check it out:

Hot 97 was interviewing cast members from Love & Hip Hop New York and in between segments, Joe Budden confronted Consequence and Jen The Pen about comments they had said about him during interviews.

All three cast mates were on rival station Power 105.1 and threw shade at each other. When Joe Budden was on the Breakfast Club he was asked if he would work with Consequence and pretty much dismissed the notion. When Cons and Jen were on the same morning show, the former also dismissed the idea but added slick commentary about it.

While they were at Hot 97, Budden asked them both, "If either one of y'all got something y'all want to address toward me, we can do it now." It's difficult to tell if Budden knew the cameras were still rolling. Cipha Sounds, Rosenberg and K. Foxx played the background while Joe Budden and Consequence hashed out their differences—Jen The Pen didn't say anything.

"It's radio's job to gas, and you jumped right for the gas," said Budden calmly.

"That's what it was," said Cons, who did most of the talking and sounded like he was copping a whole lot of pleas.
