Joe Budden’s alleged membership earnings from his podcast-focused Patreon page are making the rounds in screenshot form on social media.
According to an edited screenshot reportedly shared by Budden himself via Instagram Stories, the page had over 30 million total visits over the last 30 days. Additional stats were blacked out in the screenshot, but internet sleuths apparently did some editing of their own, resulting in a reveal of over $903,000 in membership earnings and more than 154,000 active members.
Budden’s Patreon offers four total membership options, starting with the Homies level, which runs $5 a month for ad-free episodes and more. Subscribers can also opt for higher levels of access including Family ($10), Friend of the Show ($25), and Part of the Show ($50).
The latter tier comes with a chance at potentially making an on-air appearance, as well as a shot at having one’s name featured in the episode credits. The latest Patreon update and podcast episode from Budden and company, fittingly, carries the title “Blackout the Numbers.”
This isn’t the first time Budden’s podcast numbers have made headlines. During an episode last year featuring Doe Boy, Budden was asked to specific how much money he’s made since he first stepped into the podcasting space. By Budden’s count, as of April 2024, he’d brought in “about $4 million.”
That same year, Budden came in at No. 2 on Complex’s annual Hip-Hop Media Power Ranking. Revisit the full list here.
