The second child of ex-Slaughterhouse rapper Joe Budden and his former fiancée Cyn Santanna is named Lexington Budden. The couple, who were once featured in a few seasons of Love and Hip Hop: New York, welcomed a child on December 15, 2017.
The 4-year-father, old’s Joe Budden, is a former rapper who is now a broadcaster. He had been dating the baby’s mother, model Cyn Santana, for roughly three years before their son was born. Trey Budden, Lexington Budden older brother, was born on May 11, 2001.

He Was Born on the 10th Anniversary of the Release of His Father’s Album Mood Muzik 3.
As previously mentioned, Lexington (Lex) Budden was born on December 15, 2017. Interestingly, he was born on the 10th anniversary of the debut of his father’s album. His mother is of Dominican-Salvadoran ancestry, while his father is African-American.
Three days after Joe Budden celebrated the tenth anniversary of the album’s release on February 26, 2008, Lex was born. The anniversary of the album was on December 12, 2017.
His parents had been dating for about a year at the time of his birth, and about a year later, Joe Budden decided to ask Cyn to marry him to strengthen their bond.
Parents of Lexington Budden
The father of Lex Budden was a former rapper whose career got started at the end of the 1990s. He published songs like Pump it Up and Slaughterhouse, the latter of which served as the cornerstone for the band he co-founded.
Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, and Royce da 5’9 were all part of the 2008 hip-hop group Slaughterhouse, which included Joseph Budden II. The group disbanded in 2018 after a decade of activity.
After Slaughterhouse split up, Joe Budden went on to work as a broadcaster. He co-hosted the “Everyday Struggle” podcast from April 2017 to December 2017 the year before. This gave the rapper even more motivation to launch his podcast, the “Joe Budden Podcast.”
On the other hand, Lexington Budden’s mother, Cyn Santana, is also a musician. She was born on October 20, 1992, and is a model, video vixen, TV personality, songwriter, and businesswoman. She was born Cynthia Pacheco, but because of the nature of her line of work, she chose to go by the name “Cyn Santana.”
How Did His Parents Interact?
42-year-old Joe and Cyn’s (29-year-old) romance appeared to have great potential. About two years into their relationship, the rapper proposed to his musician girlfriend. This proposal was special because she was in the audience while he was recording a podcast.
On December 16, 2018, the rapper who thought he was better than Eminem proposed to the woman who is now the mother of his second son. Four months into the relationship, though, the couple broke up.
The couple from Love & Hip Hop: New York split up after Santana allegedly discovered nude pictures of other women on her fiance’s phone. The father of the two children refuted the claim, but this did not defuse the conflict because both parties later removed their photos from social media.
When this split occurred, Lexington Budden was just over a year old, but the famous musicians easily co-parented.
Joe Budden once tweeted that he missed his son and hadn’t seen him in a while, despite their best efforts. His followers supported the tweet and criticized Lexington’s mother for preventing his father from seeing him. However, in response to the tweet and comments, Cyn snarled back at the trolls.
There is an Older Half-Brother for Lexington Budden.
As previously mentioned, Trey Budden, also known as Joe Budden III, is Lex’s older brother. The rapper’s first child, Trey, arrived on May 11, 2001. He was a product of Joe Budden’s previous union with Angie.
When Trey’s father was only 20 years old, he gave birth to him in Jersey City, New Jersey. When Lexington’s brother was born, their father’s career had just begun to take off.
Trey had no relationship with his father throughout his early years. But in 2018, he made an appearance in the ninth season of L&HH: New York and gave his father permission to pop the question to the mother of his younger half-brother, Lex.
He has now entered the music industry at the age of 21, following in his father’s footsteps. He also appeared on “Couples Therapy with DR. Jenn,” where he discussed his father’s estrangement from him.
What Has a 4-year-old Been Doing?
One of Joe Budden’s kids, Lexington Budden, a former rapper who is now a podcaster, is a famous kid. He didn’t just win this title because his father is well-known; his mother is also well-known.
The two parents opened an Instagram account for their son because they are never done spoiling him. Although the account was active for a while, it hasn’t received any recent updates since 2020.
Lex appeared on the reality television program Love and Hip Hop: New York, but only as an infant. He only appears in social media posts because he is still quite young.
He has appeared on their social media platforms a few times because his parents are tech-savvy and adore their son. Joe Budden and Cyn Santana have recorded videos of themselves on numerous occasions. The group was seen hanging out in one video, with Joe praising Cyn’s hairstyle.
In a different video, the parents engaged in a game to determine which of them their son would follow if they both fled from him. Cyn’s heart was broken when Lexington, who many people believe to be his father’s twin, ran in his direction.
Lexington Budden, who is still very young, may soon join the over 1% of famous sons who pursue careers similar to those of their fathers. Given that both his parents and older brother are performers, he would find this to be quite simple.
Although he is still a baby, his parent manages his Instagram account, which has more than 50k followers. He will soon be gaining more followers on social media, especially once he starts managing it on his own.
