As reported by The #NewYorkTimes, #JoeBudden—often called the “Howard Stern of hip-hop”—may have unintentionally exposed his massive earnings by sharing a Patreon screenshot that showed over 30 million visits. While he tried to blur out the revenue, eagle-eyed fans spotted what appeared to be $900,000 earned in June alone. CEO Ian Schwartzman later confirmed that the Joe Budden Network is projected to surpass $20 million in revenue for 2025.
