Joe Budden made a special appearance on the latest episode of Law & Order.
The 46-year-old rapper-turned-podcaster showed up for the Thursday (Oct. 29) episode of Law & Order, portraying a rapper who is connected to the victim of the episode. He was connected to the victim through the art scene and was paid a visit by two of the detectives working on the case. It’s not exactly a meaty role for Budden, but he plays it straight as a composed individual with a solid alibi but a few leads to offer the detectives.
While Budden has appeared on TV and in several documentaries, he’s not done much in the way of acting before. Plenty of rappers have appeared in episodes of Law & Order and its spin-offs, like Special Victims Unit, including Ludacris, Method Man, Big Boi, Snoop Dogg, and 2 Chainz, among others.
In August, it was announced that Joe Budden is partnering with Law & Order creator Dick Wolf’s Wolf Entertainment to launch a true-crime podcast, per Variety.
