Looks like there is some bad news for Joe Budden. His popularity is soaring with the success of his new single "Pump It Up" & "Focus". The self-titled debut is due out in June. As everything looks on the ups, the rapper is having problems with his voice. According to reports, Budden has a non-cancerous tumor on his right vocal cord.
Im having voice problems. I have a polyp on my right vocal cord, Budden told AllHipHop.com. Im not even supposed to rap. A polyp is a non-cancerous tumor that protrudes from the lining of an organ..
Budden said a doctor has recommended that he stop spitting his popular rhymes to allow his throat time to repair and, still, he may have to go under a surgeons knife to mend the damage.
I might have to get surgery to get my voice back. I got some swelling going on back there. It just comes from a lot of acid. I drink a lot of acidy sh*t. Youll never see me without a beverage,he said. Even now, my voice is a whole lot deeper than normal. You can hear something is going on.
The New Jersey-bred, Harlem-born rapper said the relentless schedule of interviews, touring and other promotional outlets has put a tremendous strain on his gravely voice.
I was doing shows and Def Jam got behind the [album] project. There was so much I was doing, I was doing the dot come sh*t, photo shoots, in-stores I was doing so much and during the shows, I would come out rapping and in the middle of the show, my voice would disappear. It would just go away completely. It was very embarrassing, he said.
When that continued and continued and continued happening, it was time to see what the fuck was wrong. Matter of fact, when it was time to wrap this album up and I couldnt record, it was time to go to a doctor.
At press time, there was no update on the 22-year-olds status, but he continues to push his Def Jam debut, which is scheduled to come out in June. Hopefully it's nothing serious and he can get back to what he does best, rap.

Yup, my thoughts exactly

I just think he has potential....id rather back potential than someone who shows nothing at all but hype...ive liked a few of his tracks and his bootleg album ripped a while back.
