MTV caught up with our hood hero, Joe Budden to ask him how his little beef with Game got deaded. Here’s what he had to say.

I was asleep the other day, and I woke up to a text message saying, ‘Big Joe, what up? This is Game,’ ” Budden said Wednesday (August 27). “I was like, ‘Oh, somebody is playing on my phone again.’ I hit him back with a bunch of question marks, and he hit me back with ‘This is Game.’ Still, I wasn’t convinced yet. Then I started checking my messages, and apparently he was on [a New York radio] morning show and asking if anybody had my phone number and [said] he was trying to reach out to me. So I eventually called him. We had a great conversation, talked about a lot of things. He invited me to come to his show, come kick it. I took him up on it.

See how easy is to dead beef rappers?
