Flo Rida's ex-partner Melyssa Ford was the brunt of jokes on the latest episode of Joe Budden's podcast after the "Low" rapper won a big money lawsuit against energy drink company Celsius.

Last week, Flo Rida, whose real name is Tramar Dillard, was awarded $82.6 million by a South Florida jury after successfully suing Celsius for breaching the terms of an endorsement deal.

Ford appeared as a guest host on Episode 595 of Budden's podcast on Saturday and Budden was quick to tease the 46-year-old.

"The internet started to be like, 'Damn, I'd hate to be his ex right now,'" Budden said. "Couple of them was like, 'Damn, Melyssa Ford gotta be sick.' And I was like, 'Not my co-host!' I didn't know nothing about that, which made this story all the funnier for me because, damn, you gotta be sick to your stomach."

Ford, who dated Dillard dated in 2011 and 2012, laughed at Budden's quip but said she was actually pleased for her former flame. 

"No, I'm happy for him," she said. However, she was unable to stop Budden and his co-hosts piling on.

"You hate him!" said QueenzFlip. "He won $83 million. What we talkin' bout?" Ford then corrected QueenzFlip to say Dillard actually won $82 million, not $83 million.

"Ohh, that was it," Flip continued. "We got her!"

"I hate you guys," said Ford.

Dillard and his production company, Strong Arm Productions, sued Celsius Holdings Inc. in May 2021 for $30,000, claiming that the company had violated the conditions of an endorsement deal that ran between 2014 and 2018.

According to the civil complaint, Dillard played an "instrumental part" in "launching a new era for the company's brand development, growth, and expansion" and helped introduce Celsius to "millions around the world."

Dillard's legal team claimed that he was not compensated in the form of promised bonuses and stock options for his work, and that Celsius failed to notify the rapper when key sales goals in his contracts were met.

After winning his case, Dillard said in a statement that he had gained a "new respect for the judicial system."

"This was a long journey, but we prevailed. From the start, I only wanted what I worked for, nothing more, nothing less," he said.
