Der "Pump It Up" – Rapper behauptet, Sai hätte ihn am Telefon angefleht, das Battle zu beenden. Daraufhin hätten die beiden sich darauf geeinigt, die Angelegenheit im Boxring zu klären, wie richtige Männer das nun mal tun.
"If me and dude are engaged in a f*cking lyrical battle here and all of a sudden I just stop out of the clear blue sky, there’s really no other reason for it besides there was a phone call that took place," so Budden im Interview. "It didn’t start out well but we had a good conversation. He begged me to stop. He begged me to leave him alone…I’m down with [a boxing fight]. I’m always down with that. We could do it where the funds go to charity or something of that sort. (Hip Hop Game)
Noch vor Joey’s Statement, postete Just Blaze auf seine Twitter-Seite, dass die beiden am Telefon alles geklärt hätten. Sai stritt dieses Ereignis jedoch ab.
"I don’t know where that came from," sagt Saigon. "For a while you know Just been trying to squash that sh*t cause he understands what it can turn in to. He just doesn’t wanna see it go past -you know just being around me and a lot of my people – and he doesn’t wanna see it go anywhere other than wax. And he knows that’s very, very, very likely gonna happen." (XXL)
Abgesehen davon, dass Sai bestreitet, wie sie angeblich entschieden hätten mit dem Thema fortzufahren, beendete Budden das Battle eigentlich letzte Woche.
"It’s over," sagte Budden in einem Interview. "Joe Budden fans should know if somebody diss me and I don’t respond immediately, then it’s over. Something happened and it’s over. So I mean, he can stick to his story and I’ll stick to mine. That sh*t is over." (Shade 45)
