Joe Budden BLASTS B. Simone For TACKY IG Post While Mourning Jacky Oh 

The problem is, charging ppl to be in your “close friends” is nuts let alone using your close friends death to get your numbers up

She could have easily put that message in her close friends and not the public….end of discussion

5:50 This is cap. You don’t need to announce on your IG Stories that you’ll only be posting on Close Friends. She could have announced that TO her Close Friends audience. By announcing to the public she was attempting to sell to new subscribers.

She even said on Twitter her close friends is her safe space from the public so if you want to be part of that pay to join, but if that’s suppose to be a safe space why would you be promoting it to… *checks notes* THE PUBLIC???

She wasn’t promoting “courses” she was PROMOTING access to her personal friends accounts on instagram so people can pay to have access to her “grieving” period. THAT IS TACKY!!!!! Ice is just solidifying his corny and tackiness

"You passed. The bills didnt" made me scream. 💀 Whats cooler than being cool? ICE COLD!

We are living in a society where disrespecting the dead 💀 is becoming normalized.

A close friend or loved one passing away doesn’t mean stop promoting your business … but it also doesn’t mean utilize the tragedy to promote your business either.

The problem is she promoted it while she was posting about the loss of life. Because she knew a mass amount of ppl would be tuned in. That’s not really ok.

Social media is making people weird af and I don’t like it at all smh

Doesn't matter if she was or wasn't selling subscriptions or courses prior. You know it isn't the time to couple a death with a promotion of a product.

She shoulda just said she won't be visible and then preceeded to just posting in close friends without advertising it

I love how this conversation was going one way until Joe read her post then everybody was like “Oh naw she tweakin” 😂😂😂 Switched up quick.

I feel bad for Jacky Oh 🙏🏽🕊️🤍

Mf-ers who really need the money have way more respect for their friends passing than people who claim to have it good. That girl has more than enough money to pay her bills, so Ice you can chill on that…but if you need to use your friend’s death to promote your products then you need to reevaluate your business plan. That’s just pure evil and I hope some of her friends called her out on that, because it was indeed heartless.

If she's posting on her close friends... that means she got time for IG... If she got time to post for close friends what the fuck is the difference? But yall can keep falling for it 🤣

Promoting the close friends off ya friends death is wild. I wouldn’t even wanna be on socials let alone soliciting new paid followers smh. Social media really a drug man.

Who tf pays to be someone “Close friends” 😂

These clowns need to let Jacky rest in peace

I’m with Joe on this one. He made an EXCELLENT point about views spiking.

How do they not see this as tacky? damn the world is soo damn materialistic money hungry . Very sad. I wouldnt want to have any friend like that

People DID know that she always did close friends. She annoys us everyday with it. It was how she correlated seeing her grieve through close friends. Kinda like “If you pay you’ll see more of my grieving process”. Idk it’s her moves, I’m not judging but it did come off a lil grabby

It’s the fact that she was like subscribe to my close friends cause that’s where you’ll hear my feelings about the situation

Joe: I’m going to interrupt you. Ice: I’m going to interrupt you back. Lmaoooo. Love it.

I’m sooooo glad you guys called this out, and let it be known that it was tacky and tasteless. . Because that is EXACTLY what it was!!! There’s no way around it, it wasn’t just a normal regular every day post. . She definitely was trying to capitalize off “grieving” for her “friend” who just lost her life!!!!

No tell what she EXACTLY SAID..... B. Simone said quote " If y'all want to see me grieving you have to pay me to see me grieving. " end quote

Not gon hold u, it was kinda cringeworthy

Ice heart definitely frozen with that take lol "you passed, the bills didn't" like damn bro 😂

I myself have always been aware of her "close friends" subscription situation...What bothered me was, within her post of saying shes grieving and wont be visible for awhile BUT "i will give access to those that are subscribed to my close friends". She then left a LINK to subscribe. TO ME you are somewhat capitalizing off of the death of YOUR FRIEND. It was tasteless and disappointing as she seemed to be 1 of Jacky O's closest friends.

They explained this horribly in the beginning …lord literally made my brain hurt. She literally said If youre not in my close friends you won’t see much of me UNLESS you join my close friends” WITH the link to join Implying that if you want to see BTS of us grieving Jackie, helping with her funeral etc JOIN the lose friends. Explain things right so people have the correct context.

The way that life is dismissed in death by people is always mind blowing to me. We do not give grief it's proper space. If you are THAT close, normalize stopping everything. Best believe if someone I considered a sister died; everything is stopping. I will catch up later.

It was tacky !

If the goal is privacy, making an announcement about wanting privacy will only make people curious about what you are being private about. It’s the nature of man, and these “celebrities” are aware of this and count on it. If you want privacy “Be Private” don’t announce it.

nah, B Simone know exactly what she was doing !!

Why are they discussing something they don’t have any knowledge about? The girl advertised selling her grief on her close friends. Asking people to pay to see you grieve your friend is weird as hell. Why are you people telling a different story to defend her?

That ''Oh my gwd'' from Joe I felt it😂

These dudes too old to be clueless like this lol

This was a great conversation. It's poor taste to capitalize on the death of a close friend. That is exactly what happened. How dare anyone ask for money while grieving for a close friend that passed away. Its not right and not a good way to promote any type of business.

Don’t forget to pay for her Patreon if you want to see her friends talk about the grieving process. Just gotta pay a couple dollars. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

2:35 You know you saying some wild shit when Flip react like this 😂😂😂

She wild for that !

She disrespected Martin Luther King you think she cares about her?

So I was pondering back-and-forth with this and I am going to go back to my instincts, and she is completely wrong on all levels. I think it would’ve been may be different if she did not say anything, and her already close friends were watching her, but the mere fact that you indirectly hinted something that makes me and everybody else that’s not part of your close friends wanna see you grieve if that is not sadistic, I don’t know what it is and she is a hustler we have to ask ourselves. When do we draw the line like our souls has been sold if that was really my best friend trust and believe I am grieving so much I don’t want nobody to see me, now people say, people grieve, differently, and I agree, and I again, if she didn’t say anything and her close friends were already subscribed and she did this nobody would’ve known but here’s the thing there’s gonna be other people that’s not gonna pay and will still get a snippet of it because I’m sure people are going to record it. I GIVE HER A JIUDGE JUDY SIDE-EYE! WHAT HAPPENED TO BEING “HUMBLE”

Nah B.Simone said she rich she didn’t need to promote her close friends with Jacky passing idk it’s just tacky

"You passed, the bill didn't" I meeeeaaan Ice ain't wrong on that one. However, the way B. Simone worded that close friend message was not cool at all. lol

Joe is speaking from a point of wisdom. You must know the room/audience.

6:14 “but ima interrupt you back” is a top tier response to that …I’ll be using this going forward 📝👀😂

Idk why they’re arguing about this Joe is right.

And Ice and Ish there is a thing call TACT and using your best judgment my guys! Who cares if she was doing this prior to Jackie’s death. That wasn’t the way or time to do it period! It was tacky! What’s wrong with ya’ll?! Smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

Bottom line it was tacky, n she trash for tha❤

Who's worse between B. Simone and Izailaa Banks???

People are sincere narcissists, particularly women. A lot of time they sincerely don’t even realize it

They need to be properly informed. They are not saying it right. B.simone basically was trying to capitalize off the death. That changes everything. Doesn’t matter if she had a close friends subscription for 1month 1year etc that’s irrelevant. Ppl are upset because it seems disrespectful and not genuine for a long time friend. Times have changed and you don’t have real ones like you used to. Point blank period. This girl been showing her character y’all have bad judge of character.

Yall still buying from B.Simone???? You better off investing in the stock market for a better return.

If it wasn't “JOIN my close friends. “ at the end. The message would have been ok. With something like that, you should allow people to NATURALLY want to join, not promote them to join. If they are being nosy they would soon find out she charges.

in this society it's all about business if the person you was splitting bills and rent with for example die, the mortage company or apartment complex still gone want they money regardless of who gone unfortunately.

I was exactly on Ice timing with this, all the way until Joe read the actual post... Yeah I take it back😂😂😂

Why are people in general subscribing to a close friends of another human being? I sincerely want to understand.

That subscription that she created is not business, her business is B Simone beauty and the podcast. For love, respect for her friend and consideration she could AT LEAST pause, take a second and think about it, she’s a public figure with millions of followers, she knows that Jacky was a close friend and that people could go to her page just to know what’s up and she promoting it while mourning and posting things about Jacky is just tooo shady and disrespectful. It leaves the impression that she is trying to gain off of it

My landlord told me the same thing ice said they die but bills have to pay no one give a shit when you grieving and it's crazy

Ice capppin he only saying that cause everyone agreeing with joe lol

Joe really should've led with that lmaoo

Posting anything during that time considering she was not just an associate. She was a close close friend. During that time Most of her friends with business posted about HER. Not their business

It was tacky of B 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think naturally people would’ve gravitated to be nosy but too high light it

She knew very well that there will be heightened interest in her personal life given her close friendship with her friend who just died. Plugging her paid subscription to her 'close friends' endeavor during that time is tasteless especially if you include in your plug "if you want to see me grieve". Like wtf

It’s basically her saying join my close friends & you’ll get more inside scoop about my friend’s passing. 🤷🏿‍♀️ it is tacky.

People paying for friendships🤨

*I took the statement as her having to fulfill her obligation because people had already paid for their subscription.*

The way they just broke this story down gon have B simone out here looking crazy for a while cause why would sis do that?! 😅🤔🤦🏾‍♀️

I wonder how b Simone would feel if Jackie did that to her if she died.

If they didn’t know exactly what she said???? Why were they arguing for her???? That’s how niggas end up in the wrong side of history

This B Simmon topic proves Joe gotta get some young energy on that couch that's tapped in because these mfers don't be knowing what's going on and it be forcing Joe to always have to jump out there. What B Simmon did was questionable in character and just prove everybody you hang with not your friend because a real friend carry their friends gentle like close family. Joe made a valid point your CFs already know what's up with you you just became a opportunist and tried to capitalize off the passing of your quote on quote friend.

Whatever happened to people grieving in private? Smh

Melissa face looked so annoyed because y'all kept interrupting her and would not let her speak 😮‍💨😐. Sidenote: So it would be okay for the doctor to continue promoting on his ig after losing a patient because bills are due? Nahh, there's a courtesy you give to the family. But I love that guys phrase..."serial entrepreneur" 😂.

2:25 THE WAY THE GUY IN THE MIDDLE LOOKED AROUND THE ROOM WHEN ICE SAID THAT HAD ME WHEEZING!🤣

Wow, she did try to capitalize off that Lady's death

She literally asking ppl to buy her close friends to see her grieve her friend …weird

Stop trying to justify her saying what she said! It was a money grab! Period point blank blah blah

If a close friend of mine passed I can hold off posting ads for profit for 5-7 days because I already know why ppl are there.

"Now I change my stance"! 😂😂😂

It was beyond gross. So disrespectful. Shameful

I’m not spending any money to see someone sorry . And thanks to Jacky who helped her start her gloss line . Foh

She took advantage of her friends passing to come up. Terrible.

This is what the Joe Budden podcast has come to? Really?

They did explain the situation well and clearly the other hosts (Ice and whoever else…idk their names) didn’t SEE how B.Simone used her friends death for profit. I saw it prior to seeing this video and i found her to be distasteful (per usual) however, if i was part of this discussion with no context/backstory, I wouldn’t feel the same.

Damn let shorty speak we didn’t get to hear anything from her 🙄🤣

Melissa is wayyyyyyy better than nadeska I’m sorry

Joe u should’ve read her post from jump.

B Simone is DC and Jacky girlfriend…

She’s been using that same wording since the beginning. “What phase” to answer that question the phase where she’s on her Christian journey. Y’all wouldn’t understand unless you decided to follow God, in any way or capacity. This was not to get more money, this was consistency. The reason why so many people can’t believe it wasn’t malicious is because it’s because they don’t have that higher understanding. 🙏🏾

This nigga Ice's Iverson collection is 🔥

That’s a horrible argument courses sell themselves you don’t have to use your friend’s death to promote a course. You shouldn’t even mention your course/subscription or none of that off the popularity your friend’s passing

Completely agree with Joe in this one

It wasn't just distasteful, it's evil. The boyfriend too.

Man said you past the bills can’t be 🤣😂😭

I think the problem was like ...the course being sold was about watching her grieve over Jacky oh.... Why make money from her death...

Not the first time B Simone has done something completely tasteless. If she is as rich as she claims….taking a few days ‘off’ wouldn’t hurt her at all. 🤷‍♀️

I agree about going back to work but I'm dam sure not gonna profit off my Day 1 passing!!!!!! @TACKY If that's the play then ALL PROFITS WILL GO TO THE DC AND THA KIDS!!!!!...... R.I.H JACKY!!!!!❤❤❤❤😢😢😢

B stay in trouble lol 😆

Ok I commented before I knew exactly what she posted. Now that I know what the post said I do think it was a bit tacky to make money off your friends death. II think she could have reworded this because that was a little weird. It's no way I think I'd be able to document and charge how I deal with losing someone close. If she's showing how she's getting through it and processing why the hell is their a price on it. I just couldn't personally
