Were Joe Budden and Wale fooling around when they threatened to harm one another or were they serious?

Today, both men went back and forth and said they wanted to fight each other in the future. This was after one of Wale's fans suggested that he go on Joe's podcast one day.

I think it's time for @Wale to come on the podcast and talk ball.

It certainly seemed like they were joking. However, Budden ultimately deleted his Tweets, suggesting maybe the two emotional rappers were running hot.

 What do you think?
