All Of Bhad Bhabie’s Public Controversies

by

Rising to fame in 2016 when she first appeared on the hit show, Dr. Phil, Danielle Bergoli, 19, also known as “Bhad Bhabie” quickly gained the likes of young teens when she gave no remorse for being exactly who she is. Her iconic quote “Cash me outside, how ‘bout that?” is what launched her career, as many people took her side in the drama between her and her mother, Barbara Ann Bergoli when she brought Bhad Bhabie on the show to discuss her daughter’s disrespect and criminal manner at home. 

At Age 13, Bhad Bhabie Faced Grand Theft Auto Charges

On the show, Dr. Phil runs through the many storms Bhad Bhabie has caused at home. At the time she was 13 years old facing grand theft auto charges. Not only that, but Bhabie had tried to frame her mom as a drug dealer. She stole thousands of dollars from her family, physically assaulted her mom, and when Dr. Phil’s crew arrived to film at her home, Bhad Bhabie stole a crew member’s vehicle. Dr. Phil can be heard telling Bad Bhabie, “I’m your worst nightmare, girl” during their television interview, as he tries to break down the complex of the future rapper. 

Bhad Bhabie Is Forced To Retreat Or Jail

Bhad Bhabie’s mom describes her daughter to Dr. Phil as, “extremely provocative” and that she’s “at the end of the road” after her middle-school dropout daughter had been arrested a handful of times all before the age of 13. Though Barbara was looking to put an end to the violent misbehavior, Bad Bhabie instead, extends her anger and street demeanor to Dr. Phil when he tries to set her straight before sending her to a wilderness program called “Turn-About Ranch” instead of serving time in jail for grand theft auto. 

She Signed With Atlantic Records

The therapy that Dr. Phil tried to instill into Bhad Bhabie did have some influence on the troubled teen, moreover, he actually gave her the leverage that she never knew she needed to regain focus on respect and hard work. Actually, Bhad Bhabie was just getting started. Even though the world had no idea of her musical talent when she premiered on Dr. Phil, Bhad Bhabie soon gained momentum online from her striking personality, ultimately leading her to sign a record deal with Atlantic Records.

In 2017, Bhad Bhabie became the youngest female rapper to chart on Billboard Hot 100 with her debut single, These Heaux. A year later, Bhad Bhabie would release her first EP, 15, and again topped other artist’s releases with her single, Hi Bitch, which appeared 68 on Billboard Hot 100 and became platinum in 2020. And when Fuse asked Bhad Bhabie about wanting to be a rapper, she responded with, “I always loved music, but I don’t think there was ever anything in me that was like, ‘you’re gonna be a rapper one day.’ I wanted to be a nurse, I wanted to be in medicine. Something about taking care of people.” 

Bhad Bhabie Makes Over $50 Million On OnlyFans

As of late, the rapper can be found on OnlyFans where she broke the internet after earning over $50 million dollars since she created the account. And when she turned 18 in 2021, Bhad Bhabie made over $1 million within the first 6 hours of launching herself on the intimate platform. Though she agrees that most of her followers should be in jail for their requests and behaviors, Bhad Bhabie continues to work the NSFW (not safe for work) platform and is in the top .01% of its highest earners. 

When discussing her OnlyFans platform and its success, Bhad Bhabie shared a video released by TMZ saying, “Call me the youngest female of the decade to go platinum. Call me s*** like that. Like, there’s way more things — Call me the ‘Gucci Flip Flops’ girl, the ‘Hi Bich” girl, the girl who got a f***ing million-dollar makeup deal, the girl who made over f***ing $50 million on OnlyFans.” In continuing, “Call me whatever you want. When you try to find a way to be annoying about something, it’s just kind of weird.”

As for her home life, Bhad Bhabie recently rewarded herself for her hard work in not only the business world, but for her work on herself, and bought a $6.1 million home in Florida… in cash, which is quite the way to live up to her “cash me outside” persona.

Here are her biggest public feuds.

1. Woah Vicky

When online personally Woah Vicky released a diss track against RiceGum, Bhad Bhabie felt it was distasteful and took to the streets to clap back on multiple occasions at the many insults against the YouTuber, and sheer disrespect against Bhad Bhabie. The two female teens end up fighting in a video released by Dj Akademiks where Woah Vicky can be seen holding Bhad Bhabie down by her hair without letting her go for far too long. The two have settled down since their 2019 Atlanta brawl, but if given the chance to square up again, the two would likely repossess their hatred for one another, as Bad Bhabie isn’t usually one to back down.

2. Skai Jackson

Though “dating” NBA Younboy was never confirmed by Bhad Bhabie, she did share multiple posts online about her love for the rapper and vice versa. She even went as far as getting his birth name, “Kentrell” tattooed on the side of her hand in a rather large script. But when Disney star Skai Jackson expressed interest in Bhad Bhabie’s best friend, NBA Youngboy, the two females had a feud that extended to Jackson filing a restraining order against Bhad Bhabie when she threatened the actress’ life. 

3. Iggy Azalea

When Iggy Azalea questioned her friend on why they would ever attend a Bhad Bhabie concert, Bhad Bhabie confronted Azalea inside a club where she threw water on the singer multiple times before the altercation ended in person. Though Bhad Bhabie was only 15 at the time, to no surprise, she held her own when comments started spewing about the incident, as she had the facts and accolades to back herself up against Azalea dissing the rapper and her talent.

4. Billie Eilish

After rapper XXXTentation passed away in 2018, Ellish began DMing Bhad Bhabie to console her, as X was Bhad Bhabie’s close friend. Ellish gained the adolescent’s trust and then ghosted her for no reason, and even went as far as nicknaming Bhad Bhabie her “baby sister” during their friendship before it ended. Bhad Bhabie remarked on the unreasonable diss from Ellish in an interview with ET saying, “I just feel like either someone got into her ear about me and made her think that I was a bad person.” In continuing, “Or she was getting too big to where she didn’t want to associate herself with my brand. And that’s perfectly fine, I understand that, but it sucks when you have a friend, and they just disappear.” Leaving Bhad Bhabie in the dark. It’s unknown if the two have reconciled. 

5. David Spade

Though he would later make a cameo in Bhad Bhabie’s music video for Gucci Flip Flops, in 2017 actor He posted a photo of him and Bhad Bhabie inside a restaurant where the two ran into one another. However, Spade captioned the picture saying, “Unfortunately, she stopped being famous 5 minutes before this was taken.” Bhad Bhabie clapped back in an epic comeback saying she thought the comedian was a waiter. Though the two are unlikely to dispute again due to connecting on a few occasions since their discourse, Bad Bhabie certainly has no problem with standing her ground against anymore, man or woman. 

She Checked Herself Into Rehab

After she checked herself into rehab in 2020 for PTSD and a prescription pill addiction, she then took to the internet to begin her OnlyFans, ultimately allowing the teen to retire basically any day now as her online earrings far outreach that of what she’d make in a record deal.  Though Bhad Bhabie is headed towards bettering her health. She opened up to Fuse saying, “I feel like, I will always get my little attitudes, I will always get my little temper-tantrums, but I’ve definitely matured.”

Bhad Bhabie Launches Her Own Record Label, BHAD Music

Despite continuing to embody her ‘bad b**ch’ persona, in 2021 she launched her own record label, BHAD Music, in hopes of creating a safe space for artists that also allow them to own their masters

. In talking about her new business venture, Bhad Bhabie tells Variety, “Signing a deal when you aren’t established, artists don’t really understand that labels get to approve you doing features and have basically total control on when and if your music comes out. Not to mention they keep like 80% of all the money that comes in. It’s pretty f***ed up. … I’m finally ready to put out music I want on my own terms.” In continuing, “I’m going to just put out my own music on my label, but I am open to signing other artists. I have a platform to help launch them, and I want them to be able to own their masters as well.” What can’t Bhad Bhabie do?

Jim Jones Wants A Hitmaka & Hit-Boy Verzuz

by

Jim Jones and Hitmaka stopped by Ebro In The Morning to discuss their new album Back In My Prime and a potential Verzuz against Hit-Boy. Moreover, those comments came after the latter dissed Hitmaka and other producers in a song tease. Of course, that blew the Internet up, both with impressed reactions to disappointed responses. However, it was Hitmaka who started the whole debacle in this interview by talking about radio play on Hot 97. But more interestingly, Jones knew where they could settle things: a Verzuz battle.

“Do I smell a Verzuz?” the Dipset legend asked. Furthermore, his proposal prompted excited reactions from the rest on his on-air colleagues. “We can settle this fast. Tell Za on the zone we got some za. I would give them L.A.” Despite this debate, Hitmaka did admit that Hit-Boy’s been at the game longer than him. “He’s been running longer than I’ve been running in this field,” the Chicago producer explained. Even with all that, the Hot 97 crew were surprised that Hitmaka took things in that direction.

Jim Jones Wants A Hitmaka & Hit-Boy Verzuz

“I’m on the radio. Hit-Boy not on the radio,” he said before saying that he still has love for the King’s Disease producer. “If you play the soundtrack to your life for the past four, five years on radio – I know it’s gotta be frustrating with ‘em my name is so similar, my brother.” After these comments went viral, Hit-Boy released a snippet where he dissed Hitmaka, Metro Boomin, and others. “I just seen Yung Berg smoke on the wave/ I should do him like Trick Trick and snatch Hit out his name,” he rapped against Hitmaka. “I’m like Debo on this cruiser/ How you got no credits without co-producers?” In fact, the producer clapped back at Hit-Boy’s comments, calling him a “terrible artist.”

Meanwhile, Metro Boomin seemingly responded to these disses in a cryptic way. He tweeted out a picture of Kendrick Lamar lyrics from the Mr. Morale cut “Rich Spirit.” “Stop playin’ wit me ‘fore I turn you to a song,” the lyrics read. Still, Jones isn’t wrong in assuming that a Verzuz could truly squash things between them, at least commercially. After all, Hit-Boy has more impressive albums to his name, despite Hitmaka dominating air waves. Regardless, check out the Hot 97 interview above and stick around on HNHH for the latest on Hitmaka, Jim Jones, and Hit-Boy.

Blueface Calls DJ Akademiks “Lame AF”

by

Blueface and DJ Akademiks continued their Twitter beef this week after the former called the latter “lame af.” Moreover, Akademiks tweeted out a video about a truth teller walking into an interrogation room and forcing the suspect to confess. It seemed to be related to those snitch and crime narratives that the media personality’s built a name off of until this point. However, such actions and assessments clearly didn’t impress the California rapper, who previously clowned Ak for profiting off of others. While their spat hasn’t slowed down, Ak hasn’t responded to these new comments as of writing this article.

Of course, things got pretty rowdy between the two. After Blue challenged him to a fight, Ak hit back with offering money to whoever slept with his girlfriend. “I got $5 K per N***a who F***ed BLUEFACE girl who down to get on my twitch stream breaking it down how it happened,” he tweeted. “DNA test included, F**k maury, BIG AK finna do a paternity test for that broke A** N***a BLUEFACE. Im pledging $50k for this effort, WHO GOT BLUEFACE girl pregnant.”

DJ Akademiks Is “Lame AF,” Says Blueface

Later on, Blueface said that Ak was just trying his best to steer clear of the fight by bringing up his history. “Ak want me to fight a female instead of him at 31 years old,” the “Bleed It” rapper tweeted. “Give it up bro squabble up or shut up. We all know when a N***a turning a fade down an @Akademiks is clearly turning it down the best way he know how to. N***as always use a b***h as a cop out sound like a b***h a** N***a to me,” he continued. “N***a said MMA he must wanna wrestle or some lol cuz ak fasho can’t throw no kicks with his fat a**. Ak is offering 5k to 10 n***as to take the fade for him. I must be the big bad wolf or some cuz he was so gangsta for lil baby.”

Meanwhile, their barrage of insults also included failed music careers, who makes more money, and other forms of posturing. At the end of the day, it’s all stuck to just social media. With that in mind, it’s really about who’s going to keep responding back, and once everyone gets a little bored, people (including the two involved) will forget. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on DJ Akademiks and Blueface.

Where to Watch Chris Rock’s ‘Selective Outrage’ Stand Up

by

Chris Rock’s new stand-up special “Selective Outrage” was recently released on Netflix and the comedian used the show as an opportunity to fully respond to getting slapped in the face by Will Smith one year ago.

What Happened Between Chris Rock and Will Smith?

At the 94th Annual Academy Awards last year on March 27th, Chris Rock was slapped by Will Smith after referring to Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, as “G.I. Jane” in reference to her bald haircut. Pinkett Smith has been public about her years-long struggle with alopecia, an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss, and Pinkett Smith did not seem to receive the joke in jest, as she rolled her eyes at the joke.

However, Pinkett Smith’s husband, Will Smith, went one step further, as in a moment that has been covered and documented by every media source since it took place, he slapped Chris Rock in the face. Since the incident, Smith has publicly apologized to Rock numerous times and also will face a ten year ban from the Academy Awards.

While Will Smith has been public about his regret for slapping Rock, the comedian has been quiet about the subject until now. While Chris Rock has joked about the incident a few times during comedy shows, “Selective Outrage” proves to be the moment Rock chose to air out all of his grievances and feelings toward Will Smith. Rock joked about many other topics in the special. But its ultimate purpose seems to be a response to Smith, and Rock did not hold back.

The Stand-Up Special Is A Netflix-First

This special is also Netflix’s first experiment in live entertainment. The show was broadcast globally without edits and little to no rehearsal. This was seen when Chris Rock botched a key part of one of his jokes. Rather than starting over, he was forced to give his attention to the mistake and move forward.

The live aspect of the special gave an electric sense of realness to Rock’s performance. This further ignited Chris Rock’s impassioned feelings about Will Smith. Delivered with a fierceness, Rock referred to Will as “Suge Smith” in reference to “Suge Knight”, the former CEO of Death Row Records who is currently incarcerated for manslaughter.

Chris Rock also alluded to the idea that Smith was letting out his anger towards his wife Jada on him, due to Jada’s public reveal of an ‘entanglement’ she had with August Alsina in 2020. In the special, Rock stated, “She hurt him way more than he hurt me”. Rock also referred to the slap as “some bitch-ass shit”. He explained that Will Smith is much larger than him and does movies with his shirt off. He jokes, “If I’m in a movie getting open heart surgery, I’ve got on a sweater.”

Rock ended the special with a question he was asked a few times after the incident. “‘Chris how come you didn’t do nothing back that night?’ Cause I got parents, because I was raised,’” he said. “You know what my parents told me? Don’t fight in front of white people.” It appears that Rock said everything he wanted to say during “Selective Outrage”. A source stated that the comedian is “ready to move on”. In response to this, Will Smith called the special “distasteful” and “below the belt” and said “he’s embarrassed and hurt”.

Where To Watch The Special

The special is still available on Netflix and is currently on Netflix’s Top-10 most popular list. The special has been called “emotional, messy, and fierce” as well as “self-deprecating and funny”. The 95th Annual Academy Awards will air on Sunday, March 12th. It appears that the discourse from last year’s show is not over. The internet is once again buzzing due to Chris Rock’s “Selective Outrage”.

Nicki Minaj Diss Tweets: Rapper Says Other Labels Pay For Online Hate

by

To achieve her coveted status as Queen of Rap, Nicki Minaj has been through plenty of tough moments in the spotlight. She has an undeniably fiery Sagittarian personality. This often puts her at the centre of controversy, but earlier this week, the mother of one revealed during a live stream that at least some of the hate sent her way online is paid for by the record labels of her competitors. The conversation took place on Tuesday (March 7). At the time, she was chatting with Rah Ali about the industry’s climate currently.

“Labels and management companies paying for viral tweets and paying for Nicki diss tweets. So now it’s kind of like, if I don’t remind them that we’re actually here to rap, who will?” she explained. Afterward, the Trinidadian artist said she doesn’t want to hear her name in the same breath as the other rappers. “Don’t ever put me in the same motherf*cking sentence, you know,” she ranted. “Don’t use my name.”

Nicki Minaj Exposes the Industry

As the audio of Minaj speaking her mind continues to make rounds, more people are sharing their opinions. “Narcissist,” one Twitter user labelled the “Super Freaky Girl” before adding, “Labels are not pressed about her like she wants.” Another person joked, “WHO paying??? And why ain’t I get offered a check?” Someone else, still, suggested that “she needs to realize that the [general public] just don’t like her.”

Elsewhere in the replies, others have been pointing out that Minaj has never shied away from feuds. “She’s telling her hand because that’s literally what she had done to Cardi,” someone speculated. “She’s afraid of her karma tbh.” More recently, the 40-year-old appeared to throw shade at Megan Thee Stallion during her surprise Rolling Loud appearance.

Recent Rap Beef

During Lil Wayne’s set, Nicki Minaj surprised the audience with some throwback favourites like “Bed Rock,” “High School,” and “Truffle Butter,” as well as her own solo releases. Additionally, she cracked a joke about not “f*cking with horses since Christopher Reeve,” a bar from her new “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” track many are perceiving as shade towards the Houston Hottie. In videos circulating online from the festival, it sounds as though the crowd wasn’t very impressed by the drama.

“Nicki Minaj tried to clock Megan Thee Stallion with that horse bar only for the crowd to stare back at her in silence,” one tweet reads. “That’s definitely one way to be humbled.” Check it out in the video above, and read all about the Queen artist’s recent beef with Latto here.

Metro Boomin Quotes Kendrick Lamar In Response To Hit-Boy’s Diss

by

Hitmaka stirred the pot this week when he called out Hit-Boy. Though the two are undoubtedly some of the most prolific producers in hip-hop with unmatched catalogs, Hitmaka threw the first shot during an interview on Hot 97. While speaking to Ebro and co., the “Thot Box” producer argued that he’s the better producer due to his consistency on the radio. “See, but I’m on the radio; Hit-Boy’s not on the radio,” said Hitmaka. “If you play the soundtrack to your life for the last four or five years on radio, I know it’s gotta be frustrating for him because my name is so similar, my brother.”

The comments undoubtedly transformed into something bigger than he expected. Hit-Boy struck back in the form of a diss track that Rory Farrell shared to his Twitter page. However, Hit-Boy didn’t just clap back at Hitmaka – he called out every other producer that stands alongside him, including Metro Boomin, Mustard, and Southside. “I don’t really know dude he seem like a cool cat/But I never once heard Metro Boomin do boom bap,” he raps before dissing Southside’s 808-heavy production. “I just seen Yung Berg spoke on the wave, I should do him like Trick Trick and snatch Hit out his name… how you got no credits without co-producers?”

Metro Boomin Reacts To Hit-Boy

Metro Boomin is usually lowkey but he doesn’t hesitate to respond if needed. The Savage Mode 2 hitmaker didn’t even really use his own words but rather, the bars of Kendrick Lamar. While Hitmaka compared Hit-Boy’s diss as a “Control” verse for producers, Boomin shared some lyrics from “Rich Spirit.” Metro shared the lyrics from Apple Music, which highlights, “Stop playin’ before I turn you into a song.” Though it’s unclear if Metro is willing to drop bars, he clearly isn’t afraid of the competition.

Prior to this, Hitmaka blasted Hit-Boy for trying to diss him on a record. Hitmaka’s argument is still based on radio plays, though he criticized Hit for using “punchlines from over a decade ago” in reference to the Trick Trick reference. “Is this like your attempt to do whatever Kendrick did on that Big Sean record for producers?” he wrote. “U ARE A TERRIBLE ARTIST. SEND ME BEATS PLS.” At this point, Hit-Boy hasn’t responded to either Hitmaka or Metro Boomin but he did just drop off a new single alongside Musiq Soulchild. Check out Metro’s tweets above. 

Hitmaka To Hit-Boy: “You Are A Terrible Artist”

by

A feud is brewing in the producer world between Hitmaka and Hit-Boy. It began on Wednesday during Hitmaka and Jim Jones’ press run for Back In My Prime when they appeared on Hot97. During the conversation, Hitmaka said that he’s a better producer because he’s on the radio more often. “I’m on the radio. Hit-Boy not on the radio,” Hitmaka said. “If you play the soundtrack to your life for the past four, five years on radio – I know it’s gotta be frustrating with ‘em my name is so similar, my brother.”

During the same interview, Jim Jones backed Hitmaka and suggested the two go hit-for-hit in a Verzuz battle. However, it seems like Hit-Boy has little interest in entertaining a battle so instead, he took his issues to the booth where he called out Hitmaka, and a few other producers. “I just seen Yung Berg smoke on the wave/ I should do him like Trick Trick and snatch Hit out his name,” he raps. “I’m like Debo on this cruiser/ How you got no credits without co-producers.”

Hitmaka Calls Hit-Boy A “Terrible Artist”

After Hit-Boy lashed out on wax, Hitmaka immediately slipped into the comment section where he expressed his disappointment. Hitmaka was far from impressed by Hit-Boy’s upcoming diss track, especially since he felt the references and bars sounded dated. “This is nasty and punchlines from over a decade ago,” he wrote. Hitmaka added that the diss record won’t land Hit-Boy on regular radio rotation. “Still won’t be on radio I expect from u king,” the 37-year-old producer added.

Following a four-hour period of listening to Hit-Boy’s snippet on loop, Hitmaka made it abundantly clear that he thought it was a weak attempt at a diss track. He said that he felt as though Hit-Boy was attempting to mimic Kendrick’s verse on Big Sean’s “Control.” “Is this your like attempt to do whatever Kendrick did on that big Sean record for producers???” He wrote. “U ARE A TERRIBLE ARTIST. SEND ME BEATS PLS.” Hit-Boy has yet to fireback at Hitmaka’s latest comments, though it doesn’t seem like everyone agrees with the “Thot Box” producer’s assessment. Check out Hitmaka’s comments above. 

Hit-Boy Calls Out Metro Boomin, Hitmaka, Mustard & Southside

by

A feud is brewing in the producer world after Hitmaka called out Hit-Boy. Hitmaka felt like Hit-Boy can’t see him because he’s had more success than the producer behind “Sicko Mode,” “N***as In Paris,” and Nas’s King’s Disease series. “I’m on the radio. Hit-Boy not on the radio,” Hitmaka said before stating that he has nothing but love for Hit. “If you play the soundtrack to your life for the past four, five years on radio – I know it’s gotta be frustrating with ‘em my name is so similar, my brother.”

Hitmaka undoubtedly has a strong discography with several singles that have been in rotation over the past few years. With his upcoming project with Jim Jones on the way this Friday, Back In My Prime, the momentum is already high for Hitmaka right now. Last week, Chlöe dropped her latest single from her forthcoming album, “How Does It Feel” ft. Chris Brown – his first major placement of the year. However, Hitmaka also has an album on the way, which will likely have the radio on smash, again.

Hit-Boy Responds To Hitmaka

Evidently, Hit-Boy took Hitmaka’s comments to heart and fired back on wax. Rory Farrell of Rory & Mal fame shared a video of Hit previewing a new track in the studio where he calls out his contemporaries while questioning their credentials as producers. On the song, Hit-Boy doesn’t hold back his feelings about Metro Boomin, Southside, Mustard, and of course, Hitmaka. “I’m usually homeboys with producers I get compared to/ But on this one I wanna stretched out, extra leg-room,” he raps on the song.

From there, he calls out Metro, claiming he “never heard him do boom-bap.” Then, he slights Southside for his signature use of 808s before taking aim at Mustard. However, the most scathing bars were aimed towards Hitmaka. “I just seen Yung Berg smoke on the wave/ I should do him like Trick Trick and snatch Hit out his name,” he raps. “I’m like Debo on this cruiser/ How you got no credits without co-producers.”  Rory captioned the post, “Okay .. I’m instigating producer beef lmao @_Hitmaka you know you my guy but it’s on you.” Check out Hit-Boy’s bars above. 

Hitmaka Challenges Hit-Boy

Joe Budden Urges Logic To Join Him In Permanent Rap Retirement

by

Joe Budden joins O’Shea Jackson and a legion of critics who are not happy with Logic’s cover of Ice Cube’s “Today Was A Good Day.” This week, Logic covered the iconic song during a live set for his YouTube page, though his melodic approach to the record was among the many issues that people took of the song. Now, Joe Budden hopes that the Maryland MC might consider this a sign to drop the microphone forever. “Logic, I beg of you, I’m pleading with you: please join me in retirement,” Budden said. “Be allergic to microphones! Promise your fans nothing! Don’t go to the studio ever again! You are the worst, yo! You are really, really bad!”

“And then when we think he can’t get any worse, you have the bright idea of doing an Ice Cube flip,” Budden continued. At this point, the former Slaughterhouse rapper explained that he took issue with Logic’s use of the N-word in the song. “Logic is just not himself. I just think that Logic should be himself. He panders to the Black community every other second,” he said. Well, that’s the problem with panders, is that they always gotta find something new to pander to.”

The Root Of Joe Budden’s Issue With Logic

Joe Budden had plenty to say about Logic’s cover of Ice Cube’s single. However, his issues with the Young Sinatra rapper go back to 2017 when Logic dropped, “1-800-273-8255.” “I thought that was disgusting, but I could have been wrong,” he explained. “But ever since then, all of that Martin Luther King, ‘We Have a Dream,’ freedom fighter speech shit he be trying to do, I don’t buy it. Now, I can be wrong in that.”

Budden concluded the segment by explaining that Logic’s attempt to connect with different fanbases so blatantly has turned him off from his music. The podcast host explained that it felt too contrived and perhaps, was more about providing Logic with an identity through his persona. “I don’t know where to begin with why I don’t buy it. I think that if you have to do so much pandering to make someone believe it, then I think you’re trying to make yourself believe it,” he said. Check out the latest episode of the Joe Budden Podcast above.
