Joe Budden accused of standing naked at his neighbor's door, gets charged with lewdness

Joe Budden often reports the biggest news stories on his podcast, but today he's in the headlines.

TMZ reports that one of Budden’s neighbors in Edgewater, New Jersey saw him standing naked outside of their apartment door on a Ring Camera. Budden was then slapped with a lewdness charge on December 4. It’s also been said the alleged incident took place at 7:21 am.

Plus, the neighbor said the rapper-turned-podcast host tried to enter a code into their door keypad but didn’t gain entry, so he went back to his residence. Two young girls witnessed the whole thing as well, and they’re reportedly juveniles.

Budden — who admitted to sleep walking in the past — has yet to address the lewdness charge. But his attorney Nima Ameri did and said his accuser might also be charged. She blasted the Edgewater Police Department for releasing a statement on top of that.

"Mr. Budden is saddened by Police Chief Martin's press release," Ameri told TMZ. "Mr. Budden has been waiting weeks for his cross complaints to be processed, which include substantially more serious charges, include possible felony charges against the persons behind these charges against him. The Chief has in our opinion sat on those but instead used his time to gain some free publicity for himself. Chief Martin should seek publicity by doing notable policing not inflaming disorderly person allegations."

"The allegations against Mr. Budden are a minor charge, not even resulting in an arrest. A charge Mr. Budden is looking forward to beating in court on the merits, not in the press," the attorney continued. "The Chief's comments are reckless, and in our opinion racially motivated. Our research has not shown a single press release on a disorderly person charge on the police website this year. His choice to single out Mr. Budden in our opinion is self motivated and based off of Mr. Budden’s race and celebrity status."
