Then Joe Budden critiqued the album during a recent episode of his self-titled podcast. Immediately after getting wind of Budden’s remarks, Drake hopped into the Instagram comments to clap back. Now, via Drake’s Instagram Stories, the beef seemingly continues.
In the series of posts, Drake pulled inspiration from a tense stand-off between several titans in the National Basketball Association (NBA). “You thought you was Kobe , ” wrote Drake, quoting basketballer Draymond Green’s infamous jab at now-retiree Paul Pierce.
For viewers of the post who didn’t know about the exchange, Drake uploaded the video clip as well. Where Green pokes at Piercing, saying, ”Chasing that farewell tour? They don’t love you like that.”
Drake repurposed the shade to make fun of Budden’s retirement from rap music to pursue entertainment media full-time, which he did after expressing that he felt unappreciated in music. Below, you can see Budden’s original remarks that might have kickstarted this back-and-forth.
Joe Budden is setting the record straight about his rumored feud with Cardi B, and retracted his past comments about her song “Bongos,” during a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast.
“I don’t click on things when they can hurt me emotionally,” he said. “Cardi is my girl, so when the headlines is, ‘Cardi B Tears Into Joe Budden’ — come on, man. That hurts. That hurts my heart.”
“And I wouldn’t have been saying that directly to Cardi because I f*ck with Cardi,” Budden added. “I was talking to a few of you other people, but now I have to address the Cardi sh*t.”
A few weeks ago, Budden had upset the Bronx rapper by saying her collab with Megan Thee Stallion sounded like a “science project,” according to HipHopDX.
“I hate the song,” he shared. “It’s not better than any of the songs like it. ‘WAP,’ ‘Up,’ it’s not better than Cardi B feature. This is Cardi getting ready to follow-up her debut album… They not gonna spend the money to keep this rolling into the fourth and first quarter.”
Cardi eventually heard about Budden’s thoughts and shared some of her own during an Instagram live. “I just feel like he has an issue with me,” Cardi said. “And it was beyond the critique of ‘Bongos’ — it’s just you inviting b*tches who said the rudest, nastiest sh*t… when Mal and Rory say f*ck sh*t about you, you get so defensive and you want to clear it up.”
Still, it’s good that the two were able to clear things up.

Recently Joe Budden stepped off of his own podcast set onto another popular show. He talked with Wallo and Gillie Da Kid of Million Dollaz Worth Of Game and ended up getting more than he bargained for. Gillie challenged Budden to a celebrity boxing match and unsurprisingly Budden had one question. “How much?” he responded which sparked an entire conversation about potential compensation for a theoretical fight. Gillie and Budden have had a long-running beef, though it’s very light hearted. The pair have exchanged barbs on Twitter in the past and had even more shots to take at one another during their podcast appearance.
In case fans thought they might be kidding about the fight, both men clarified that they were “dead f*cking serious.” ““I’m gonna go train, I’m gonna spar for two months, I’m gonna beat the f*cking leather off of you,” Gillie said to Joe Budden. “I’m gonna fold you up,” Budden responded. Fans on social media instantly began debating who would win if the fight ever actually came to fruition. The results were surprisingly divided with plenty of arguments made for each of them. Check out the entire podcast episode below.
In recent weeks, Joe Budden has taken aim at rap labels who aren’t doing enough to appreciate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. He initially responded to Ebro discussing new rappers that don’t have enough appreciation for the genre’s history. Budden reframed that and aimed it at the labels for not doing enough to celebrate the historic anniversary.
Budden found himself in hot water recently with his comments about Lizzo’s workplace harassment scandal. He downplayed the severity of the allegations and claimed that the actions she allegedly took against her own dancers are commonplace for celebrities. Who do you think would win in a celebrity boxing match between Gillie Da Kid and Joe Budden? Let us know in the comment section below.
Let’s get ready to rumble! Joe Budden and Gillie Da King agreed to a celebrity boxing match. Budden visited Gillie and Wallo267 on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast, where the two agreed to throw hands in the boxing ring.
“Let’s do a celebrity boxing match, me and you,” Gillie suggested.
Later Gillie stated the two could grab a co-headlining spot on the next Jake Paul card and tossed around various ways the fight could make money. Gillie Da King is very confident in getting the win.
“I’m gonna train, I’m gonna spar for months and I’m going to beat the f–cking leather off of you.”
Joe Budden and his podcast co-host, Ish, got into a heated argument during a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast. Budden had previously mentioned not conversing with any of his friends’ exes, a comment with which Ish took issue. In doing so, he brought up a time when Budden smoked hookah with his ex-girlfriend of nine years.
“Any girl, I don’t give a fuck who she is, if I used to date her before, she could’ve been my girlfriend, n***a, if she wanna give you some box, that’s her box to give,” Ish said. “I can’t police that box.” Joe Budden replied: “Stop it, you better stop it. ‘Cause I’ll get that bazooka right out that closet. ‘Cause if that was the case then why would you ever be questioning me about why your ex was at my house?”
From there, things quickly escalated and the two began speaking over one another. “Now you flustered looking stupid,” Budden remarked. “It’s a dialogue. So your ex is at somebody’s house, it’s her pussy. Why you cursing and screaming? I’m your friend. I love you. I did not do that to you because I love you. Now, I can’t talk over you. Catch your breath.”
“We had a conversation on what I would and wouldn’t do,” Ish tried explaining. “Joe said, ‘I would never do X, Y and Z.’ I started laughing. It was on the podcast. So Joe like, ‘What’s so funny?’ I’m saying, ‘Yo, you would do that.’ He said, ‘No, I wouldn’t.’ I said, ‘Yes, you would.’ You had my ex in your house filling her up with hookah, you said, ‘I wouldn’t entertain a n***a’s ex.’ You not moving the goalposts today and we’re not getting into a screaming match, you all were here. Joe said, ‘I wouldn’t even talk to my man’s exes.’ I’m saying you lying because you have talked to my exes before. I didn’t say I gave a fuck, I was pointing out that you did it.” Budden clarified that he said he “wouldn’t try to fuck one of y’all exes” and that Ish was being “mad disrespectful” by implying otherwise. Check out the full argument above.
Earlier this year Drake dropped a new poetry book called Titles Ruin Everything and in tandem with that announcement, he confirmed he has a new album coming soon. As shows on he and 21 Savage’s “It’s All A Blur” Tour have gone by fans have received more and more information about the project. He’s shared that the album is called For All The Dogs and after an initially unclear timeline, he made it clear the project is coming soon. He also confirmed at a recent show that 21 Savage has his own new album coming soon as well.
One person who isn’t convinced about For All The Dogs yet is Joe Budden. In a new episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, he shared his thoughts. Budden updates fans on how he’s feeling about the album following Drake’s recently released “On The Radar” freestyle with Central Cee. “That Central Cee freestyle has frightened me and scared the living sh*t out of me,” he explained. “That freestyle scared the living sh*t out of me as to what to expect from Drake’s next project.” He expanded on his hope that there will be more conventional rapping on For All The Dogs. “I don’t wanna hear none of that Calypso rapping sh*t. No disrespect, I know Central Cee is him over there, and he smoked that. They both killed it. I don’t wanna hear none of that sh*t on the next Drake project.”
Joe Budden “Scared” Of Drake Album
The “It’s All A Blur” Tour is officially record-breaking. During a stop in Washington earlier this week they generated over $5 million in a single night. Drake and 21 Savage became the first rappers ever to earn that much in a single night on tour. Drake also grabbed headlines for his appearance on Travis Scott’s UTOPIA. The frequent collaborators teamed up on the song “MELTDOWN.” Many think that in the lyrics he takes shots at both Pusha T and Pharrell.
Do you agree with Joe Budden’s thoughts on For All The Dogs? Let us know in the comment section below.
According to Billboard, the new fan favorite “Book Of Hov” exhibit at the Brooklyn Public Library will be sticking around. The exhibit opened earlier this month and had some pretty notable guests. Jay-Z himself was in attendance alongside Beyonce and Blue Ivy. Now interested fans have months to visit the free exhibit and look through pieces of the rapper’s legendary career. Even for those that can’t make it to Brooklyn, there are opportunities. The library’s website has an interactive addition to the exhibit that allows fans to scroll through all the available material online. It also features much of the information available at the in-person exhibit available for fans to digest online.
While many fans were thrilled about the new exhibit, one person who isn’t a big fan of it is Joe Budden. He said in a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast that he isn’t interested in the exhibit. Even as his co-hosts attempted to change his mind he stuck to his guns. He even claimed at one point that Jay-Z himself didn’t seem like he wanted to be there during the exhibits opening night.
Jay-Z Exhibit Isn’t Going Anywhere
Even though Jay-Z hasn’t released much music as of late, it hasn’t slowed down his accomplishments. Earlier this month he earned his 10th double platinum album. His 2009 album The Blueprint 3 officially hit the milestone making him the first rapper to achieve it. Drake and Eminem are the only other rappers to even approach the landmark achievement. That announcement came just a few days after the 10th anniversary of his 2013 effort Magna Carta… Holy Grail. His 12th album debuted at number 1 on the Billboard 200 and scored a top 5 hit with Holy Grail featuring Justin Timberlake.
Jay-Z also scored himself an Emmy nomination earlier this month. He was nominated for directing this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show which notably starred Rihana. The previous year’s Halftime show also scored an Emmy nomination, which it would go on to win. Do you agree with Joe Budden’s take on the Brooklyn Public Library’s Jay-Z exhibit?

DJ Akademiks says that it’s advantageous for rappers to start beef with him. He discussed the idea while appearing on The Joe Budden Podcast, earlier this week.
“I think, always in hip-hop, I’m still the person where if you go against, you’ll have a lot of people who support you. ‘Cause people claim ideologically they stand against what I’m for,” he explained.

From there, Ish chimed in with a lengthy explanation as to why rappers beef with Akademiks. “That’s strategically smart. That’s number one,” he began. “Now we gonna break it down, right? If I go beef with Akademiks, one, I’m never going to face any street repercussions. Where if I go beef with some of these other people, it’s a possibility that something could happen to me outside. Nobody wants that. We pick and choose who we shoot at in all of these media forms. N****s know, don’t go shooting at them n****s from Atlanta ’cause they really shoot guns. N****s know, don’t go shooting at these n****s from Chicago ’cause they really shoot guns.”
He continued: “N****s not gonna say too much shit about 50 Cent ’cause you might have to see him in the mall. When we go shoot at Akademiks, we know it ain’t gonna be no repercussions physically outside. We also know he has a massive following and the likelihood that he gonna shoot back is probable.”
Fans trolled Akademiks in response when the clip made its way to Instagram. One wrote: “Ak’s face says it all….bro called him a sucka to his face,” while another commented: “Ish called the n***a soft in the most respectful way possible.” Another user defended Akademiks: “For everybody saying “damn Ish called Ak soft to his face” Ak has openly said he’s not outside so there’s that & the biggest point Ish was making was rappers try to beef with Ak to boost their numbers…some artists need Ak. Don’t miss the bigger point to highlight some small shit.” Check out the full clip above.
Jim Jones further attacked Pusha T and No Malice while calling into the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast. Amid their ongoing feud, Jones recently expanded his war of words from just Pusha T, to both members of the Clipse duo. Despite personal attacks from both sides, Jones says everything is “all fun and games” and “a true display of wordery.”
“Who’s gonna spin the block for him? Is Pharrell gonna spin the block for him? Is Malice gonna say a prayer? Who’s gonna spin the block for him?” Capo asked. “I’m talking about musically, too. I ain’t talking about thug shit — we already know I can do that. Who he got that’s gon’ spin the block for him? Malice is a preacher who works at Walmart.”

From there, he addressed Pusha T directly: “That n***a’s a worker. He’s still not a boss. He still has to answer to everybody in his circle.” He further clarified that the conflict is “a rap battle” not “rap beef.” He explained: “This is about pure music and styling, and he don’t got it. You always wanted to be a New York n***a; you from VA, the suburbs.”
The feud between Pusha T and Jim Jones began when the Dipset rapper argued that Pusha shouldn’t have been on Billboard‘s Top 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list. He explained himself during an interview on the Rap Caviar Podcast in April. “What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time besides talk about coke that he probably didn’t get himself?” Jones said at the time.
