The Joe Budden Network to Move to Patreon

Joe Budden Reveals He Has COVID-19

The Joe Budden Network has announced the move to Patreon where fans can now subscribe to premium content including bonus episodes of the Joe Budden Podcast every month. In addition, there will be new content franchises and more.

Joe Budden will also serve as Patreon’s Head of Creator Equity, working alongside the company to fight for industry-wide change to alter the system for creators. The announcement continues to highlight Patreon’s commitment to enhancing a robust creative economy where creators get the biggest stake in their products.

“Joe understands the discrepancy between what creators are worth and what they are paid,” said Jack Conte, Patreon CEO and co-founder. “From music to podcasts, Joe has found himself reaching millions of people and getting a tiny fraction of the value he has created. That’s exactly the problem that Patreon set out to solve — and Joe wants to help. We’re excited to start working with him and figuring out even more ways to close the gap between the value that creators bring into the world and what they’re actually paid.”

“I’ve seen firsthand that exploitation is everywhere in this industry – it’s become the status quo, and I’m tired of it,” said Budden. “I’m tired of constantly fighting for independence and I’m tired of proving my value over and over again. This partnership with Patreon marks a new era for the creative economy: one where independence comes first and creators get paid – something that shouldn’t be revolutionary. Creators should get the biggest stake in their art and the system isn’t ready to do that, so we’re going to change the system. This is the new blueprint and we are the first.”

The Joe Budden network will have access to a variety of benefits across three membership levels Homies ($5.00/month), Family ($10.00/month), and Friend of the Show ($25.00/month). In addition to exclusive episodes, it will also feature brand new content franchises, behind-the-scenes content, a members-only Discord, and priority notice when Joe goes back on the road.

Starting today, fans can visit Patreon.com/joebudden to subscribe.

Jocelyn Savage’s Alleged Patreon Account Was Disabled

A Patreon account that was allegedly ran by one of R. Kelly’s live-in girlfriends, Joycelyn Savage, was taken down by the site.

They told TMZ the account was removed after the user failed to verify Joycelyn’s identity. “After multiple unsuccessful attempts to verify the identity of the account holder, we closed the Patreon page allegedly associated with Joycelyn Savage due to potential impersonation,” they said. “All patrons who signed up for the membership page were refunded and the creator did not receive any funds.”

A person believed to be Joycelyn Savage teased the account on Instagram announcing that she will be detailing her relationship with R. Kelly. “Things I am going to reveal that was sweared not to see the day of light—by NDA,” she said. “I am risking my life for many others. ‪This story is 18+ and only for mature audience, I want to make sure my story is very detailed as I can remember.”

The singer’s attorney criticized Savage’s decision to tell her truth for money. “It is unfortunate that Jocelyn now seeks to make money by exploiting her long time, loving relationship with Robert,” Greenberg said. Surviving R. Kelly participant, Lisa Van Allen, also questioned the legitimacy of the account.

Since Patreon couldn’t verify if this was actually the Pied Piper’s girlfriend the account was removed, and all subscribers will be refunded.
