Joe Budden Reacts to Jonathan Majors Conviction of Assault | "I Think He Was RAILROADED" 

I've been following this case very closely for weeks. The story behind the story that no one is talking about is how they put a target on his back and were determined to get him on something, any thing. Everybody played their part - the accuser, the cops who helped her come up with the strangulation charge (which was disappeared), the DA who is going after high profile black men (check out the Adam Foss and Kevin Porter cases) with weak cases, the press who have been mischaracterising this case from the jump (remember the 40 other accusers they reported on? All magically disappeared). The judge, who wouldn't let the cop who arrested Jabbari for assaulting Majors get a word in. And the jury of six, which had only one black member (a woman).

Him running was like the movie "Get Out". A gem directed by Jordan Peele.

Never seen misdemeanor chargers make it to trial- they definitely went after him and fucked his career up for a minute. Hopefully he recovers.

I love how everybody is saying it is his fault but nobody wants to hold her accountable for anything

This whole case felt like a carerr assassination. They were both toxic and now hes paying for it. They even weaponized his conversation discussing her achoholism.

They literally tell you to walk away when involved in a fight with a female. He ran blocks and she chased him but he was found guilty. So what do we suppose to do?

If this was a black woman this would have never gone to trail and probably not even made headlines in the media like it did. He learned the hard way.

I CAN'T EVEN DESCRIBE HOW BAD I FEEL FOR THIS MAN. 😔

Why are some people acting like Jonathan Majors killed someone? With all that freaking evidence he should've been found not guilty. They railroaded that man, I wish I could help him somehow. This world is so unfair sometimes.

The girlfriend was recording their conversations! So she was planning the set up for Jonathan! So what was that all about???!!!

What nobody is talking about is lawyers an other DA offices said this case would’ve never went to trial if it a black man an a yt woman.The fact there was only one black juror. The fact this particular DA office is being sued for doing the exact same thing to other black men who were dating yt women. He will bounce back.

Anyone who paid attention to this case not clickbait knows he’s innocent

They played that man

Lesson learned for all the people who say that if you know you are innocent then you should take it to trial. Settling or taking a plea is not admitting that you are guilty. It means you know that this legal system could find you guilty.

The Manhattan DA’s office had a hard on for this case to get this man so much, they ignored NYPD and dropped the charges against Jabarri if she agreed to testify against Majors in order to get him. DA’s office got the outcome they wanted.

I find it super sick that when it’s the man being abused it’s “well you shoulda seen this coming you knew shorty was on some bs so whatever happens you allow” but in the other way it’s “oh my gosh queen you don’t deserve this he is so out of line” the human psychology when it comes to male vs female is truly something to behold.

She chased him for blocks so isn’t that a crime too? Sounds like harassment to me

Ish is standing up for the snow bunny, we see you dawg 😂😂😂

Let’s not forget why would she record a conversation from two years ago she set him up for this

He was a serial cheater, she caught him txting another chick, fought him for his phone & he took it back. She flipped out in the car & the rest is on video. He called 911 & the court wouldn’t allow the audio as evidence. The driver said the same & described her as the instigator. When the police actually investigated what happened she was arrested for lying but the DA refused to charge her. HE WAS ABSOLUTELY RAILROADED

Thank you, Joe! I’m glad someone said it. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

He basically got found guilty of her finger getting hurt trying to put her back in the damn car.

I have a son and when he get older I’m tell my him if a woman is aggressive, emotional all the time and drinks leave her alone. Run don’t walk. If she hit you walk away, record everything and take pictures. You can’t even defend yourself or call the police because if you a black men they going to take her side even if you didn’t even do anything. It’s sad abs unfair but unfortunately that’s life for a black men

James Gunn sitting back smiling looking for the perfect character for him to play. He gone be in the DCU lol

Gotta do Tyler Perry movies now 🤣🤣

Its crazy how much a man has to do or go through to prove his innocence. Looking at the Depp V Heard case he literally had to take his time accumulating incidences where she was abusive and present it all in court, but before all of this when she accused him of abuse he lost so many roles and deals and partnerships he worked so hard for over the years and even made those franchises as popular as they were. Its crazy bc we literally got to see how being prepared for all of this when dealing with a woman like that makes such a difference. If Majors had recorded his incidents with her in any capacity his trial would probably would’ve ended differently

The part that gets me is there were actual witnesses saying that the girlfriend was wrong. The man ran about 5 blocks trying to get away. Besides calling the police, what else could he do?

It’s a law in NY that you can use physical force when someone steal your property from you. She snatched his phone and he tried to get it back. That defense couldn’t even be used because he’s a big black man. They cheated him. That b is a liar

Excellent info! Thanks! ⭐️

I agree with Joe about you can’t protect yourself on camera and still Look innocent unfortunately. I believe he is innocent and the mistake Jonathan made was stay in a toxic relationship. They both at fault. His career shouldn’t suffer that’s sad but we all have to take accountability for what we choose in life.

Morgan Freeman, Marhershala Ali and Denzel Washington are the blueprint. All 3 have achieved incredible success with clean records with their black wives. 😊

I rarely agree with Joe, but his analysis is spot on this time.

The driver said she was doing all the hitting. Trying to get his phone! The charges were BS!

I feel bad for him

R.I.P. Kang The Conqueror

I feel horrible for him as all the blame and his career/reputation had to suffer while she is deemed as the victim. Which is wild where : She snatched his phone She attacked him while he was defending himself She ran after him (HARASSMENT) for 5 long blocks. She ran up his credit card at the bar She called him 32 times leaving messages threatening SUICIDE. He went to the hotel AWAY FROM HER She went back to the apt after a night of partying and passed out locked in a closet If that ain’t ABUSE where JM is the VICTIM then I don’t know what else is there to say. People choose to be obtuse but if the roles reversed people would have applauded her for running away and finding safety at a hotel. Jesus I’m done. Pray for that man mental health as he is the victim and also needs a new legal team.

Went from stating it was a misdemeanor…to “beating a woman”. SHEESH. Let him do the next Creed movie…redemption story for him and the character. And I do believe he gets to file appeals…and will probably end up settling.

7:31 ...while im fine with this logic- then would it go both ways does a women whos getting beat deserve it because she knew he was violent? Why is it so hard to hold women accountable without making it the mans fault...if we gonna do it just keep the same energy.

He's not charged with "beating a white woman" like what the hell is Mel talking about?! 😤

He ain't gonna bounce back like y'all might think.

The way Joe shut Mel down when she went to the marvel point is wild

JBP is the best podcast when it comes to real talk content.FACTS

The way ish talks, you wouldn’t think he has a snow bunny at home😂

Imagine if this man goes to jail smh 🤦🏿‍♂️ 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️. These dudes never learn

Ive dated a lot of white women. All of them have been nice ppl but also had weird crazy emotional sides as well

7:50 This why I fw Flip, he stays 10 toes down to Earth

Thank you Joe 🙏🏽

The wild card factor is she is Caucasian. He was found guilty before he entered the courtroom 9:09

Neely Fuller: "If you don't understand white supremacy, everything else will confuse you." I'm not confused about Jonathan Majors, Emmett Till, George Floyd, or anything or anyone else. I'm not confused or wondering what those Black men should or could have done. Don't you be confused either, Mr. Budden, America, everyone... You know what it is. Real talk.

"shhh forget Marvel right now, lets focus on the case" lmfaoooooo

Joe was like forget Marvel! I'm not going to court vs them LMAO!!!

The assault was when she snatched his phone. The DA got revenge for her because she looked like a fifth stage stalker, crazy cheetah, running through the streets after him. NO REASON TO CHARGE HIM. He got his phone back and ran. Megan Goode tried to help him, which made them angrier.🤷🏾‍♀️How did she end up back in his home, pretending to awaken in a cloudy haze? Lost his whole career over that.🤦🏾‍♀️ TYLER PERRY, AVA, SPIKE, NEEDS TO GIVE HIM SOME WORK.

So no one is gonna state that this started with her stealing his phone, which is a crime. Also, the DA charged her and she left the country but they dropped those charges just to get Majors.

Its better for Jonathan to get away from people with over inflated opinions about how his life will be ,he will be fine. His a great actor and does his best every role.

From this to what Taraji has said. Monique said years ago. What Gabrielle Union has said, what Viola has said, what Halle said years ago about HOLLYWOOD. We can keep talking about the injustice system in our country and some of Hollywood entities, but the truth is, WE have the talent, ability and the money to create our own Hollywood. See people wanna joke about now you have to go do a Tyler Perry film blah blah, but Tyler did what no other black entertainer had done. Not only did he start from the bottom from just writing and performing plays using intellect to target his community and issues within our community and translate it on stage, but then to movies and then a completely huge Studio of his own. What he did was created a small black Hollywood and to add in a place that became the hottest mecca for us and others to film and that is Georgia. There are some shows that were very hot that used his studio and I'm not talking about just black films and TV. So don't say he has to go over to TP as if that is a DOWNPLAY. Yes, Hollywood and those entities are big and their projects are big around the world reaching mass of people outside this country, but we can do it and even better and that is the issue people need to be talking about. Our complaints can turn into solutions that we can provide for ourselves. If everybody just come together and simply do it. It's so many people sitting on millions and have influence even outside of film. Though we can do ourselves, there are also white millionaires and billionaires who will support us because they understand our fight is not about being racist. It isn't about overtaking and oppressing anyone. It's just about us providing for ourselves in a bigger way. We can create our black wall street again but even wider, it just about us starting it all together and doing it together first. I think support from others will come after who are just genuine.

the thing is she grabbed his phone and he broke her finger trying to get it back. you have to ask...is it ok to break a finger over someone taking your phone.

Third degree isn’t really much more than harm caused by self defense. It doesn’t mean he intentionally harmed her without her first touching him. His employer reacted due to the optics but not the facts. He deserves his career.

Different is an understatement 😂

Joe is right, though. I felt that once everything had come out about her, he had made the decision to stay with her out of public perception and he shouldn't have done it. Majors was worried that if he kicked her to the curb people would look at him sideways for leaving her once he glowed up. It's why he told her to be more dignified. Unfortunately, he learned a hard lesson it was too many parts working against him in that case. The biggest being the NY DA looking like racist based off of how they handle his arrest as he was the one that called 911 to check her on her in the 1st place. In the multiverse somewhere, his variant doesn't call 911 to check on her she's a victim of suicide.

Marvel dropped him in the summer, everyone knew that. They just waited for the result.

Great art creates forgiveness, he’ll be back.

Good for his ass with Becky in the first place THEN trying to darken it up with Megan Goode 😅

Honestly, Jonathan has an opportunity to turn his career around with Magazine Dreams. That film in a tragic way mirrors his personal life (judicially). It’s just about when this film is allowed to be distributed.

This is exactly why I left America and started a channel called Make Africa Great Again!!! The way they treat black man in America will never change...Mass Incarceration is real!!!

They started fucking with him once he and MBJ acknowledged that Angela Bassett should have won an Oscar last year.

1:36 Thank you, Joe. 🤐

I guess it perfectly ok for her to take his phone and go through it without his consent. everyone seems to ignore that fact, he had every right to take it back!

Even the cab driver said he wasn’t hitting her

He didn't really need to make amends with her before the trial, because she's not the one who pressed charges against him, the state of New York decided to do that!

Marvel dropped him like a New Year's resolution smh

Pump, pump pump it up!

Choose your partner wisely. And remove them from your life when you wanna level up.

"Ah Shit!" Parks....🤣

He was RAILROADED. They knew he could be one of them guys and a guy they couldn’t control so they cut his arse down before he got to big. When does a Misdemeanor go to TRIAL. Hell the MAN RAN!!!!!!!! The WOMAN CHASED HIM and he STILL GET CHARGED!!!!! I knew a guy a high school that passed a polygraph test due to being accused of rape and he passed and they told his ppl that can not be told in court. THE TRUTH CANT be told. Now Majors will never reach the plateau that he was aligned to be on.

His text messages were not good though

The biggest hurdle for him to get over was her injury. The fact that she did not have the injury before the argument forced the jury's minds to conclude he caused the injury. Unfortunately.

Joe is right. EVERYTHING is on trial. How he carries himself. He brought another female with him to court while fighting against a ex on a domestic incident. It even made his now woman Megan Goode look bad. Now she's looked at as the other woman who caused the whole situation to happen. That's probably not true, but the looks.

Jonathan got charged with Grace hurting her finger when he grabbed his phone by accident. He wasn't convicted for beating a white woman. Yall didn't even read the charges.

Majors should sue everyone how does the guy who’s helping gets arrested?

OJ is the reason. His not guilty still reverberates in the court system. Especially when it involves a female from the major group in America.

KILLER CAM GOTCHA SHOOK😂😂😂

Joe get him and Dr. Umar on the pod together

10:02 He must just do some Tyler Perry shit

10:54 let’s be clear here…Jonathan Majors WAS NOT convinced of beating that woman…these charges that he is convinced of are akin to jaywalking while intoxicated and being semi nude…JONATHAN MAJORS DID NOT BEAT THAT WOMAN!! Oh my goodness 🤦🏾‍♂️ if y’all don’t start learning how to read and research…

not the black christmas movies lmaooooo

Had this on my AirPods and thought dmx was in the interview

It's not over

"i would be so unfamiliar with their psycho level".... a bar

Its crazy how no matter how a situation plays out the man is always wrong. Lol

Umar warned you about them snow bunnies ….

Downy Jr family is connected in Hollywood. That's why he was giving many chances. The structure was in place for him to get back on his feet. WE CANNOT COMPARE THE TWO.

Hmmmmm; he ‘ brought’ Meagan Good outside like a damn accessory like a bracelet like that was gonna help! Shesshhhhh😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I would like for Magazine Dreams to still be released.

But Ezra miller can keep flashing tho 😂😂😂😂😂

If he has a max of a year. The judge will give him 3-6 months. He going to jail

The issue is Jonathan chose to take it to trial. This was a case of a black man being on trial for being with a yt woman. I am not sure but it appears that he was trying to avoid being prosecuted in the court of public opinion. Either way, he would have lost out cause lets face it, all it takes is an accusation for a person to lose everything.

One of thile things that was crazy to me was all the so called people that came out to talk about this mans past that we never got to see one of those accusers.

Flip wayyyyyyy too ignorant to have this conversation. Mel didn’t actually read what he was convicted of or doesn’t comprehend it he wasn’t convicted of beating her

He was 100% railroaded 10000000% black men we need to pay attention to this.!!!! 💯💯

Stop playing in the snow 🚫❄️ ijs
