Drake Hilariously Roasts Joe Budden’s Throwback Beach Photo
It’s no secret that Drake and Joe Budden don’t get along, and last night, Drizzy hopped online to troll the podcaster on Instagram. He shared a series of photos featuring himself, Duke Dennis, and Budden, suggesting that they influenced his infamous selfie pose. “I’m not aware of my picture or mirror face it’s a curse from birth and I’m influenced by what I see,” he captioned the photos.
His trolling didn’t stop there, however. One fan in his comments section took note of Budden’s bold pose, which Drake proceeded to roast him for. “2 hand gun squat at the beach is nuts tho,” the commenter wrote. “
double gun finger dip down is zaney,” Drake responded, “He’s headed back to the all inclusive and about to order a martini shaken not stirred casino royale a** pose in the Shawn Marion shorts.”

Drake Gives Joe Budden A Shoutout
While social media users are somewhat surprised that he decided to give Budden a shoutout at all, the personality has had plenty to say about Drake in recent months, and most of it hasn’t been nice. For this reason, many can agree that Budden had it coming. He’s yet to respond to the post, though it’s likely he’ll address it on the next episode of his podcast. Budden doesn’t only have negative things to say about Drake these days, however. He shocked fans earlier this week by praising the Toronto hitmaker for his latest release.
Drake dropped three tracks on 100gigs.org last week, and Budden had mostly nice things to say about them. According to him, Drake is “doing a decent job now in post-battle recovery,” and he’ll have a “front-row seat” for game 2 if it happens. What do you think of Drake roasting an old photo of Joe Budden? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Ludacris Updates Fans After Drinking Glacier Water: “I Feel Like Superman”
Ludacris concerned fans recently by drinking unfiltered and possibly contaminated glacier water in Alaska, but he said in a new social media video that it’s the best and cleanest water he’s ever drank. “Yo, for everybody asking me how that glacier water really tasted,” he began his remarks. “And when I tell you, I’m a water snob. It was the best-tasting water I’ve ever had in my life. As I drank it, I felt like every cell in my human body was being hydrated and rejuvenated at the same damn time. Had the greatest show in Alaska after that. Just made it to Minneapolis, we got a show tomorrow. Listen, man, I’m here. I feel like Superman. Love to all the fans, glad y’all digging that. It’s different ways of life. I’m just trying to take y’all places, show y’all things, meet people. Come on, man. Love.”
Furthermore, it wasn’t Ludacris’ only ludicrous hot take as of late… At least, in the eyes of many hip-hop fans. “I think Wayne, he’s one of the greatest by the way, I think he’s admitted… He don’t freestyle a lot, so I would just say I would win that,” he said when asked during a Funky Friday with Cam Newton interview about hypothetical freestyle battle match-ups.

“I’m talking about just straight off the dome is what I’m saying, ‘cause he does it,” Ludacris continued. “But I’m just saying that at one point he even admitted it’s not — he makes songs quick as hell, don’t get me wrong. It’s a sense and a form of freestyling, but it’s just, like, he’s extra with it too. But man, Wayne is one of my favorites. A verse, ah, I would have to say win [against Jay-Z]. I would win on that one. That’s a strong statement to say that ‘cause again, Hov is definitely one of my favorites as well.
“Verses, man, I’m just gon’ go in and metaphor and style, in terms of like flow, I’ma kill that s**t,” Ludacris posited. “It’s not to say that Hov is not gon’ kill that s**t. But I’m, like, when you say s**t like that and it puts me in a category like ‘Oh s**t, I’m going against Hov,’ I got to, like, every f**king word, every line, every style, every flow, every metaphor, I got to go. You got to go back and listen to there was a song with me, Nas and Hov on my album called ‘I Do It for Hip Hop’ [that was] so dope.”
