Joe Budden Doubles Down After Admitting He Likes Seeing Podcasters Fail

by

Joe Budden is in hot water, again. Over the years of The Joe Budden Podcast, the host has faced his fair share of backlash for numerous reasons. Some of them are valid while others feel contrived. Overall, he sparked many conversations due to his commentary. Most recently, he and fellow rapper-turned-podcaster, N.O.R.E., sat down for an in-depth conversation. However, their take on the state of podcasting undoubtedly ruffled many feathers, especially among those who followed a similar career path.

As the two personalities discussed the state of podcasting, they declared themselves pioneers in the field. Beyond that, they appeared to rejoice at the fact that many of their peers in rap failed to enter the podcast space. “You know what’s crazy? I’m looking at these rappers trying shows now, rappers from our era and they are so failing,” N.O.R.E said. Joe added, “You can’t take the blueprint and hire different contractors. They sellin’ ass out here huh?”

Joe Budden Responds To The Backlash 

As social media piled onto Budden and N.O.R.E. for the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, it appears that Joe feels no way about the backlash. Shortly after fans expressed their disappointment, he chimed in and reiterated that he enjoys seeing people fail. “Statistics show that most of you are failing. From 2018 up until now, podcast creation is down over half – more than half,” he said. “Y’all n***as is failing. I like it. As somebody who dedicated his life to podcasting, and I’m not leaving no time soon, I like when all of y’all jump in the race and bump ya head a few times and run away ‘cause there ain’t no money in it.”

Though it appeared harsh, Joe had little remorse for those who haven’t prospered in the podcasting space. Shortly after his latest episode emerged, he doubled down in the comments and shrugged off the negative comments. “This 1 had ‘em in a frenzy a lil bit lol… But if you had the time to worry about me saying this…,” he wrote. There’s certainly an influx of rappers who turned to podcasting since the pandemic but ultimately, only a select few have proven to have the staying power. How do you feel about Joe’s comments? Let us know in the comments. 

Joe Budden Doesn’t Believe NBA YoungBoy’s ‘Stop The Violence’ Act: “I Laughed”

by

Questions were raised after NBA YoungBoy launched his “stop the violence” advocacy in Hip Hop. Since living in Utah, it seems that YoungBoy has had a change of heart about his lyrical content. The rapper has been pushing a new movement, and he further explained his stance in his expansive feature with Billboard. “I think about how many lives I actually am responsible for when it comes to my music,” he stated at the time.

“How many girls I got feeling like if you don’t go about a situation that your boyfriend’s bringing on you in his way, you’re wrong? How many people have put this sh-t in their ears and actually went and hurt someone?” Additionally: “Or how many kids felt like they needed to tote a gun and walked out the house and toted it the wrong way? Now he’s fixing to sit there and do years of his life that he can’t get back.”

Although the message was received warmly, Joe Budden isn’t totally convinced. On The Joe Budden Podcast, the hosts discussed YoungBoy’s new outlook. Further, some even praised him for stepping away from the content that helped catapult him into stardom. Budden pushed back ever so slightly. “I don’t believe one f*ckin’ word of any of that sh*t,” he declared.

“I laughed every time that sh*t popped up on my phone,” he also added. “Get the f*ck outta here.” Ice argued that he respected YoungBoy’s public statements calling for an end to violence. Others noted that it wasn’t too long ago that he was filming a music video surrounded by people with firearms.

Budden further suggested that YoungBoy’s anti-violence stance was marketing, and he called Ice “gullible.” It seemed that YoungBoy was alerted of Budden’s mention. On the Never Broke Again LLC Instagram, a photo of YoungBoy was captioned: “Tell @joebudden ‘Don’t try this at home’ who ready? The mysterious message left fans thinking a surprise is in store, but we’ll have to wait for more news. Check out the clip above.

Joe Budden & Mouse Jones Exchange Heated Words

by

Tension is brewing on Twitter between Mouse Jones and Joe Budden. These two have had heated discussions in the past, so to see this exchange isn’t much of a surprise to those keeping track. Things kicked off after Jones tweeted a harsh criticism of Budden and Noreaga. “NORE & How Budden are two of the dumbest n*ggas on God’s green earth,” Jones wrote. The message wasn’t lost on Budden.

He replied, “That’s hate. And you don’t fight well enough for this.” Quickly, their followers tapped in and began firing off their own commentary. Mouse gave a simple response: “Prove it.” Budden then brought up an altercation involving Jones and seemingly threatened to release proof.

“I have the video of you and some other loser attempting to fight over a girl,” wrote Budden. “Literally the worst fight ever recorded. Pls don’t make me monetize off you. Stay blessed.” Jones didn’t take the jab lightly, and he threw a few verbal fisticuffs of his own. He mentioned the domestic violence accusations that have haunted Budden’s career.

“Josephy, you’re 50yrs old & have never won a fight,” said Jones. “We can ask @Union_N_Jackson to discuss when he f*cked you up. Stop playing with me. You only win fights with women. The internet flunkies are fooled, thats it. You talkin to me. Literally, all your greatest hits are women.”

It doesn’t look as if Budden issued a response. His ex-girlfriend Tahiry Jose previously alleged that he was violent during their relationship, which lasted for several years before they broke up in 2013. “I’ve been beaten before,” she said during an interview. “He hit me on that nose, then pushed me down a flight of stairs.”

There was also speculation about Budden’s relationship with Cyn Santana. The pair share a child and were even engaged, but they eventually split. In 2020, a leaked audio surfaced purportedly of Santana speaking about alleged abuse from Budden. The controversy took over timelines, but for a brief moment before thing dissipated.

Joe Budden Suggests Beyoncé Fans Thought “Renaissance” Was “Mid”

by

It’s an album that has prompted a highly-anticipated worldwide tour, but Joe Budden claims Beyoncé fans think Renaissance is “mid.” The Hip Hop commentator cracked a few jokes about Drake fans having to “get low” or duck out of sight because he released a “mid” album. During the conversation, he quipped that Bey’s fans know what it’s like because they felt the same way about Renaissance.

“Do you know how tough it was for us Drake fans to go get low for a few months,” Budden said in the clip. “If you don’t, you can just ask the Beyoncé fans right now. Maybe y’all don’t see when the fans collectively go get low, but I do. One of the best in the world, we can’t pop our sh*t, ’cause y’all tellin’ us it’s mid at every turn. Every week, n*ggas asking, ‘Oh, you heard some of that sh*t outside? ‘Cause I haven’t!’ That sh*t was like a stab in the heart.”

Renaissance is Beyoncé’s first solo album since 2016’s Lemonade. It arrived with an epic rollout and dominated the charts—and nightclubs—across the globe. Beyoncé, her team, and her hitmaking collaborators were praised for interpolating Black house, techno, electronic, and dance artists who helped pioneer the genres but were often overlooked. It wasn’t the quintessential R&B-Pop record that people expected, but her core fanbase seemed to understand the message.

The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and this weekend, we’ll learn if it takes home the title at the Grammys. Renaissance is nominated for Album of the Year and Best Dance Electronic Album. These accolades don’t seem lost on Budden, who hopped into The Neighborhood Talk’s comment section to clarify. They shared the clip of his comments on Renaissance, and Instagram users quickly called him out.

Joe Budden Questions Gucci Mane’s Artists Always Being In Trouble

by

There has been a string of unfortunate luck for Gucci Mane and his 1017 artists. Gucci has established himself as a Rap icon and he developed his label to help other artists get their taste of the good life. However, in recent years, there has been one headline after another about tragedies befalling his rappers. Joe Budden tackled the touchy topic on his podcast by addressing the discussions about Gucci’s purported bad luck.

“Who people are signing, how people are signing them, and why people are signing them needs to be under thorough examination from all parties involved in the music business,” Budden stated.

He also mentioned the sports world and how changes were made when a string of injuries were reported.

“Studies and new science showed the game was affecting players’ bodies differently,” burden continued. “So, they started coming up with these new theories, like shortening the season or making the playoffs shorter or whatever they was doing.”

“The same thing has happened in rap in the last decade where we have never seen this many people die. We’ve never seen this many shootings, stabbings, clique beef, arrests, RICOs. I have never seen it in Hip Hop.”

Most recently, Gucci has been at odds with the relatives of his rapper Big Scarr. It was reported the 22-year-old died of an accidental drug overdose.

In addition to Scarr’s passing, several 1017 artists have faced legal troubles. Mac Critter was recently arrested on first-degree murder charges, and Foogiano was hit with five years in prison. Pooh Shiesty received five years for a firearm charge, and Hotboy Wes was also arrested in connection to a robbery.

Budden spoke on the “death of A&R” and the “death of musicianship.”

“A whole roster that is suffering,” he said. “And I don’t think it’s coincidence anymore.” Additionally, “It don’t matter that one of them made a good song. And now, it done sold however many million or made however many millions.”

“If n*ggas don’t have the information, if n*ggas don’t really know how to move in this space… Life expectancy for rappers is short already. For me, as a rapper, it’s scary as sh*t out there right now.”

Joe Budden Reacts To Being Shouted Out In “Abbott Elementary”

by

Joe Budden is one of the most recognizable figures in hip-hop culture. He was never quite the most popular rapper in the game while he was active, but he was a prominent member of Slaughterhouse. His 2003 hit, “Pump It Up” is certainly the most successful track of his career.

He retired from the rap game in 2018 and his last full-length release came in the form of 2016’s Rage & The Machine. Ever since then, Budden has found continuous success as a broadcaster for various platforms. Regardless, the 42-year-old continues to maintain his relevance in society.

ABC‘s sitcom show, Abbot Elementary, shouts out the “Pump It Up” rapper in a bit from one of their recent episodes, “Read-A-Thon.” Airing on Wednesday (January 4), the episode is part of the series’ second season.

The scene showcases one of the show’s students educating his teacher on who Joe Budden is while in the school’s new podcasting club. The teacher, who’s played by Chris Perfetti, brings up “the podfather.” “Oh, you mean Joe Budden,” the student replies. “I think he pronounces it Biden, but we will work on diction when the mics are hot,” says Mr. Hill in response.

The kid subsequently reveals that it’s shocking he’s never heard of the former Slaughterhouse rapper. He plays the prof a clip from The Joe Budden Podcast, but Mr. Hill is appalled by the explicit language.

“Joe is a star. It’s ok to admit. He made broadcasting cool. We changed the game forever. #AbbottElementary,” says Budden’s manager, Ian Schwartzman in a tweet.

One fan took to their Twitter account to publicly acknowledge the show’s mention of Budden. “Not the Podfather @JoeBudden on Abbot Elementary,” writes the fan, along with a couple of emojis crying with laughter. “Nah don’t gas me.. i love that show lol,” the 42-year-old replies back. Evidently, he’s loving the shout-out.

Joe Budden Reacts To ‘Podfather’ Shoutout In Abbot Elementary

by
Joe Budden Joins Patreon As Head of Creator Equity

Joe Budden is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in podcasting and has heavily impacted the landscape of the medium for years to come. In a new episode of Abbot Elementary, the “Podfather” was shouted out in a scene where one of the teachers, Mr. Hill, told one of his students that he had never heard of the “Pump It Up” rapper. The student then shows Mr. Hill a clip from the podcast full of bleeps, responding “Woah! I’m not sure how Mr. Budden’s mother would feel about that podcast.”

Joe Budden, who has expressed his love for the show in the past, was quite appreciative of the shoutout. In a post on Instagram, Budden shared the clip of his shoutout, along with a caption that read, “First of all y’all already know how i feel about @quintab and this show…….. secondly, thank you. 🙏🏾🔥#Abbottelementary #Podfather“

Budden also responded to fans on Twitter who saw the shoutout as well. “Nah don’t gas me.. i love that show lol,” he Tweeted in response to a fan. “That’s [fire],” he said in a follow up tweet.

Budden’s manager Ian Schwartzman even commented on the shoutout in a post on Instagram. “Joe is a star. It’s ok to admit. We changed the game forever. Our little podcast. #abbottelementary,” Ian captioned his IG post.

Joe is surely to bring this up in the next episode of the JBP, air horns, gunshots, and everything.

Joe Budden Says He Wants To See Rick Ross Vs. T.I. “Verzuz” Battle

by

Verzuz battles continue to be a heavily debated topic within the hip-hop and R&B world. There’s always discourse among fans online about which two artists should face each other next. However, we’ve only seen some of them come to fruition.

Regardless, there have certainly been a number of memorable battles over the past few years, including Jeezy and Gucci’s historic showdown, as well as T-Pain vs. Lil Jon.

In a recent episode of his own show, The Joe Budden Podcast, the “Pump It Up” rapper says he thinks Rick Ross and T.I. should square off next.

“I’m down for the person that we’ve seen already, that won.. alright, next battle. Rick Ross versus T.I.,” the media personality starts off. He goes on to say that the “Whatever You Like” rapper has never participated in one and he thinks Rozay won in his previous showdown with 2 Chainz. Therefore, according to Budden, the “Hustlin’” rapper should move on to face a new opponent.

“And Ross [has] got more than 40 records that he could play with, so now [he’s] back with a different 20. Or ‘John’ in front of T.I. looks different than ‘John’ in front of 2 Chainz. Like, I don’t think Ross will have time for the strippers to come out against T.I. It won’t be time for massages, speeches.. that’s T.I.” he continues afterwards.

The aforementioned Rick Ross vs. 2 Chainz battle went down in 2020. Budden obviously thinks that the “Aston Martin Music” rapper came out on top and should face a new opponent. “There’s a few people that won that I think need to come back and do it again,” says the former Everyday Struggle co-host. The suggestion certainly seems like a good idea and it will be interesting to see reactions pour in on social media.

Check out Budden’s initial reaction to the Rozay vs. 2 Chainz Verzuz announcement below.

Claudia Jordan Responds to Joe Budden’s Podcast Diss: 'He Should Drink Some Milk'

The back and forth between Joe Budden, Vivica A. Fox, and Claudia Jordan is continuing. A day after Joe Budden blasted both Fox Soul hosts on the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Jordan has replied in Instagram comments.

“Wow, he’s upset,” she wrote. “He should drink some milk.”

Joe Budden has been under fire for comments made about Megan Thee Stallion on a recent episode of his podcast.

During her Fox Soul show, Cocktails with Queens, Vivica A. Fox came to Megan’s defense and told Joe Budden, “if you don’t button it up and sit your bitch ass down!” Fox would go on to speak to the facts of the trial while also stating Joe Budden is mad because women rule over rap now.

Fox’s co-host, Claudia Jordan, also chimed in, “If you want to talk about somebody doing something bad to someone your friends with, maybe you’re not the one to say that.” Jordan would go on to detail his alleged domestic violence and his beef with Rory and Mal.

“The last time you had a hit, it was hitting a woman,” Jordan said.

Joe Budden heard their words and pulled up the resumes of both Jordan and Vivica A. Fox, telling both women to “shut the fuck up.”

“Vivica Fox, once regarded as the Black woman that all America wanted to be with, just so we clear on that, a long fall from grace,” Budden said. “You bitches don’t know how to usefully use your pussy broth is the problem. Be very careful with how you continue to speak about me.”
