Joe Budden Reacts To Leaked Drake & Jhonni Blaze Texts And Claims Victory In The Process

by

A couple of days ago, Ghetto Barbie, a friend TV star Jhonni Blaze, leaked an alleged text exchange between the latter and Drake. These two supposedly had a very interesting relationship about a decade ago. Blaze had spoken sporadically about their messy connection throughout the years, so it was interesting to just now get a hand on these messages. The voice memo was a big talking point, as Drake sounds like he’s been having difficulty with Jhonni and how to address their past. Ultimately, though, he said that touring was holding him back from seeing her. That translates to him being as polite as possible in saying that he is moving on.

But let’s go back to the touring point. The internet really got into that aspect of the texts, especially the way in which Drake explained it. “Right now my life is on slave to live nation mode”. This seems to be an allusion to his lengthy It’s All A Blur tour which had two parts. This begged some questions that asked what Drake really meant by “slave to live nation mode”. As expected, Joe Budden is here to give his opinions on the matter, and they are sure to ruffle the feathers of some Drake supporters.

Joe Budden Claims To Have Another Win Against Drake

In terms of the Jhonni Blaze debacle, he feels that Drizzy handled the situation beautifully and played the “Uno reverse card” to perfection. He thinks he buried the hatchet with Blaze in a respectful manner, so all is good there. However, Budden then turns around and addresses the Live Nation debate. He believes he has an “I told you so moment”. Basically, his past suspicions about an artist as big as him touring that much (which he replays in the clip) was insane to him. Now, he’s using this ambiguous text as evidence that he was right and is laughing all the way home about it. C’mon, though, you know Budden can’t just give Drake credit.

What are your thoughts on Joe Budden’s reactions to the leaked Drake and Jhonni Blaze texts? Do you think he is right about The Boy’s touring schedule? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Joe Budden Receives Barrage Of Backlash For Take On Tyla & Her Behavior At The VMAs

by

One of the most controversial talking heads in all of hip-hop is back at it again. Over the weekend, Joe Budden and the crew got to discussing the MTV VMAs that went down last Wednesday. The main focus during that portion of the podcast had to do with Tyla. Overall, there are some that feel she was acting snobby and standoffish throughout the entire program. For example, some were critiquing her for the way she was asking Lil Nas X and Halle Bailey to help her hold her award onstage.

This led to Armon Wiggins, a pretty big multi-media personality, to call out Tyla on social media. “Hey, I don’t think I like TYLA’s personality. I think someone needs to check her ’cause she doesn’t understand American culture AT ALL. She almost gives off entitled or uppity African vibes. I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s very off-putting, and it’s almost like she expects people to just fall at her feet”.

Joe Budden Felt Tyla Curved USHER In A Stuck-Up Manner

This quote sparked debate on Joe Budden’s show as he was in complete agreement, according to IOL. Apparently, he’s been feeling this way about the “Water” hitmaker, citing an incident at one of USHER’s past shows being the catalyst. In the resurfaced clip above, USHER appears to try and get Tyla to dance on him, but she subtly dodges that advance of assumed showmanship. Joe felt she should have done it out of respect because the R&B legend was trying to show her love by doing this all while dancing to “Water”. However, his panel of co-hosts was in total disagreement, mentioning that she’s in a relationship and didn’t want to disrespect her man. That really set him off, but also the rest of the internet as they were in complete disagreement. You can see those reactions above and below.

More Reactions

What are your thoughts on Joe Budden unleashing on Tyla for her how she “dubbed” USHER at the VMAs? Do you agree that his take was too ridiculous, why or why not? Will Tyla or USHER have anything to say? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Joe Budden, Tyla, and USHER. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Joe Budden Questions The Shannon Sharpe Sex Tape Scandal

by

The Joe Budden Podcast and its titular host recently discussed the Shannon Sharpe scandal on their show. “That’s what people are saying,” he responded to Flip’s assessment that Shannon Sharpe wanted to prove non-heterosexuality rumors wrong. “Let’s slow down, because both of those are very important points and I don’t want to breeze by either of them,” referencing Parks’ skepticism that this was an accident. “People are saying that he did this in response to some of the allegations and rumors that have been attached to his name.”

“I’m not all the way mad at that,” Joe Budden said of Parks’ idea that Sharpe went Live intentionally to promote his Nightcap podcast sponsors, which are erection pills. “My problem with what Flip is saying, if that’s true, and the rumors are right that he’s responding to something… Oh, f**k, I don’t even want to be the one to say it, but I’ma say it. The problem with that is that I don’t think that people were saying that Shannon Sharpe is gay. Yeah, [they were], but that’s reckless Internet chatter. I think what they was saying is that Shannon Sharpe is bi. I don’t think anybody doubts that Shannon Sharpe was sleeping with women. But in today’s society, if you’re not part of that community, you might view that as gay.

The Joe Budden Podcast Discusses The Shannon Sharpe Situation

“So him f***ing a girl, I don’t think really clears nothing up,” Joe Budden continued. “I wish they had texted me in the think tank or the group chat. But there’s nobody to say that as soon as Michelle left, Daryl didn’t come in there and get crazy. I’m saying this: Michelle don’t disprove that Daryl’s in the Uber. I know I shouldn’t be the one to say that. No, I’m not saying that I believe that. Now, back to Parks’ point. I’m with you, let’s get to it. It is difficult to Insta Live by mistake. And we want to give grace to our elders. Technology can be difficult. He’s already said that he’s never Insta Live’d before in his entire life.

“But that’s part of what made me look at him funny,” Joe Budden concluded. “Because if you’ve never Insta Live’d before in your life, then when you get to that screen, I don’t think it’s just going to be on Live. You’ve never used it. I’m assuming that. Now, I’m just here to speculate and have fun with this s**t. Everything he’s saying could be 100% the truth. I wouldn’t know, I have put the phone in my pocket before and it did some s**t. Called somebody, took a picture, it’s done something.”

Tyrese Calls Joe Budden Out For Disrespecting His Recent “Breakfast Club” Appearance

by

Tyrese may have “officially retired” from social media after a hot take about masculinity, but he’s still got gas in the tank. Moreover, he recently reacted to Joe Budden’s reaction to his recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, which Joe called “bitter.” Also, even though the rapper and podcaster shouted the actor and singer out as a friend of the show, he still recalled how he had a similar energy on the radio show last year. In fact, he brought up the last five years of Mr. Gibson’s divorce and relationship struggles. However, other co-hosts brought up that the divorce isn’t the only thing that he’s been emotional about, so it might be unfair to point to that split as a reason for this perceived “bitterness.”

In fact, Budden even said that being bitter isn’t a bad thing: just an observation that they’re making. Nevertheless, Tyrese pointed out how his previous appearance on (or link-up with) The Joe Budden Podcast saw its titular host make fun of what the actor would say on The Breakfast Club that took on a more emotive or spiritual tone. While Tyrese pointed out the strong bond he has with Joe and with his co-host Melyssa Ford, he also thinks that whenever he does something with Charlamagne Tha God and company, Joe starts sending out strays his way.

Tyrese Blasts Joe Budden For “Bitter” Narrative

Furthermore, Tyrese also posited that there are people on The Joe Budden Podcast who are sticking up for him more than Joe himself, who was his friend in the first place. In addition, he said that there’s nothing Budden could say to prove that he’s bitter. Finally, the Fast & Furious star said that the Slaughterhouse MC can’t speak on anything that he’s going through because he never married and thus can’t relate to his relationship struggles.

Meanwhile, some of Tyrese’s other final social media acts before his break included blasting the Biden-Harris administration over an anti-Asian hate crime bill. “There is a crime bill that was signed into law that protects Asians at all costs,” he said on Instagram Live. “Where is that same f***ing law when it comes to Black and brown people? Because what you’re doing is — President Biden and Kamala Harris — what you’re doing is, you’re saying that Black and brown people will continue to be disposable. That s**t doesn’t make sense.”

Adam22 Clowns Joe Budden’s Rap Career In No Jumper Cypher: Watch

by

Adam22 is a podcaster by trade and a clout chaser by instinct. He knows what will generate views, and has been immensely successful at doing so. His approach has garnered criticism from other huge names in the rap podcast space, however. Joe Budden being chief among them. Adam22 and Budden do not get along, and the former decided to address their tension during the new No Jumper Cypher. Not only does Adam poke fun at Budden’s podcasting career, but he tears down his rap achievements as well.

It’s worth noting that Adam22 raps part of his “verse” with a flower beanie on his head. This is not to be taken seriously, and everybody involved knows it. Still, the podcaster gets his shots off. “Pump It Up the last time I heard Joe rap,” Adam22 spits. “That old a*s throwback finally got its Gold plaque… yall is only podcasting cause you got no other option.” He also throws in a dig about his podcasting ops being bums and “unable to eat at Sizzler.” Again, not a wordsmith by any means. Adam22 put out the verse knowing it would elicit attention from the hip hop community. And sure enough, it did.

Joe Budden Responded To Adam22’s Bars With Laughter

Joe Budden responded to the No Jumper Cypher shortly after its release. He took it about as well as one could, which is to say, he laughed it off. “Lol… Adam aside, it’s tough out here for a lot of folks,” he wrote. “Do everything you can.” Budden’s comments align with previous criticisms that he’s made about Adam and his approach to the culture as a whole. Budden feels as though Adam22 exploits hip hop for his own benefit without paying mind to the young artists he exploits. We’d list out the conflicts that the two men have had over the years, but we’d be need about 10,000 more words. It seems like they get on each other’s nerves every few months.

In May, Joe Budden claimed that he would wipe the floor with Adam22 in a fist fight. He didn’t try to be cute with his answer, either. He straight up told his co-hosts that he would demolish the other podcast titan. “I’d beat the dog sh*t out of Adam,” Budden stated. “I don’t even know if he has a dog. He would be tattoo-less.” Adam’s cypher is just the latest instance of shots being fired. It isn’t the first time, and it sure won’t be the last.

Joe Budden Isn’t Buying Travis Scott’s “DAYS BEFORE RODEO” Sales Predictions One Bit

by

It’s safe to say that Travis Scott made a lot of his fans’ dreams come true a couple of weeks ago. After over a decade of waiting and praying, the Houston artist put DAYS BEFORE RODEO onto streaming services. Additionally, physical copy enthusiasts are jumping for joy because you are able to buy either it on vinyl or on CD format. Furthermore, it wouldn’t be a Travis Scott roll out if there weren’t any bundles. La Flame dropped quite a few of them where you could grab a t-shirt or a sweatshirt. Lastly, he sent fans into a frenzy by releasing five separate deluxe options, in addition to live and chopped ‘n screwed renditions.

With so many ways of packaging the project and do to it being a fan-favorite tape, DAYS BEFORE RODEO is looking to have the biggest first week for any rap album this year. We won’t be sure on what that number is until tomorrow, but before it was slated to move around 217,000 copies with over 80 percent of them being physical sales. With all of this in mind, it’s clear that Scott has been dominating hip-hop fans’ attention over these last 14 days or so. He’s even taking numbers away from some pretty notable names like YG and Cash Cobain and will most likely do the same to Destroy Lonely and Big Sean.

Fans Are Split On Joe Budden’s Theories About Travis Scott

However, even with Travis Scott having massive pull, Joe Budden is not accepting that these numbers are real. In the most recent episode of his podcast, him and the panel discussed this and how a tech company is inflating them. You can look at his skepticism in two ways. Firstly, he could be just flat out hating on Scott and discrediting how massive of an artist he is. Or he knows something that we don’t and he’s exposing people. Fans are shockingly split on this, with some pulling up the streaming stats to help make Joe’s point. Others feel that he doesn’t understand the project’s and the artist’s overall magnitude. Travis Scott rarely takes aim at anyone, but will he this time?

What are your thoughts on Joe Budden discounting that the sales forecast for Travis Scott’s DAYS BEFORE RODEO is accurate? Is the podcaster just hating or does he make a valid argument? Were you someone who purchased the project in any way? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Drake Invokes Joe Budden As He Addresses All His Pouty-Lip Selfies In A Funny Instagram Post

Drake is a somewhat active Instagram user, usually sharing at least a few posts a month. A common theme throughout them is the regular inclusion of selfies. Specifically, selfies in which Drake tends to go for a pouted-lip look. For his latest post, Drake has decided to have some fun with that fact.

The new gallery post includes a Drake mirror selfie, photos of Duke Dennis and Joe Budden, and two more Drake selfies. He captioned the post, “I’m not aware of my picture or mirror face it’s a curse from birth and I’m influenced by what I see.”

Budden has not been shy when it comes to commenting about Drake. In May, for example, he said of Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s feud, “The most important line in this battle starts to come true, which is [Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’ lyric] ‘It’s not just me. I’m what the culture is feeling.’ The industry is sending a clear-cut message that you have worn out your welcome. This is not a Kendrick just West Coast thing. They just went out and tapped [Kendrick] on the shoulder like, ‘Big dawg, help.’ This is not just coincidentally we are all mad at Drake’s success and we are acting out. This is bigger than that is all I’m saying.”

Joe Budden Refuses To Back Down During Caitlin Clark Vs. Angel Reese Debate

by

Joe Budden is someone who has never shied away from inserting himself into some pretty massive debates. Overall, Budden has a podcast, so talking is kind of his whole job at this point. With that in mind, fans always expect him to be unfiltered with his thoughts on a particular subject. Most recently, Budden gave his opinion on none other than Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese of the WNBA. Both of these players are rivals and are currently competing for Rookie of the Year.

While Reese was a bit better than Clark early in the season, Clark has proven to be the better overall player. She is now leading the ROTY race, and fans are excited to see her prove herself in the postseason as the Indiana Fever continues to win games. Meanwhile, on the latest episode of his podcast, Budden dove into the Clark and Reese debate. As you can see below, he believes it is no context, and that Clark is Jordan, while Reese is Rodman.

Joe Budden Keeps It Honest

“I’m telling y’all, and I’m not trying to cause a kerfuffle, Caitlin Clark is a hell of a lot better than Angel Reese,” Budden explained. “Nobody ever said Ben Wallace could give Michael Jordan a run for his money. And [Reese] is grabbing all the boards in the world — hey, the double-double princess — and she got a podcast now, and she got a Reese’s Pieces deal. I’m telling y’all that Caitlin Clark, if we’re talking about a basketball… she has been on an absolute warpath since y’all left her off the Olympics. And I’m not just gonna ignore it because she’s white. She is smoking you b****** out there.”

Let us know what you think of Joe’s comments, down below. Do you agree that Caitlin Clark has been better than Angel Reese so far this year? Do you believe that it is inevitable that Clark will end up winning rookie of the year? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

LL COOL J Reacts to Shade for Joe Budden’s “Pump It Up” Plaque: ‘Some People Never Go Gold!’

by
LL Cool J at Lollapalooza 2018

LL COOL J is not aligned with Yung Miami laughing at Joe Budden’s gold plaque for “Pump It Up.” TMZ tracked down Hip-Hop’s OG G.O.A.T. and asked his opinion.

“Some people never go gold!” LL said. “It doesn’t matter, you have artists that don’t go do diamond ’til posthumously. I mean, it’s life. But it’s beautiful for him, [I’m] happy for Joe.”

On a recent episode of his podcast, LL COOL J dropped off Budden’s gold plaque for his hit single “Pump It Up.” Seeing the moment, Yung Miami had some jokes to crack. You can see them below.

Returning to the pod, Budden had some smoke, dubbing her “the worst female rapper” in the world right now.

“The thing about laughter, I think that she will soon realize is, it’s also a luxury,” Budden said. “So while I’m happy Caresha is able to laugh because she’s had a stressful year, I am a little surprised that she has found enough time to laugh at anything.

“I want to keep this professional and on the music. If Complex were to do a list of where all the female rappers rat, Caresha, you would be last on the list. You would be drop dead last on that list. Every female out there is wiping you down right now.

“Caresha, may you not only be dropped from your label right now, but you are not allowed to put music out. There is nothing happening.”

You can hear his calm read below.

Drake Playfully Cites Joe Budden And Duke Dennis As His Selfie “Influences”

by

Drake’s selfie face has become a renewable source of comedy for fans and haters alike. Everybody has seen a Drake photo and thought, “he’s doing too much.” The rapper knows this, and he decided to have some fun with his selfie reputation on Wednesday night. Drizzy hopped on his main Instagram profile for the first time in over a week to post some new selfies. What looked like a typical photo drop, though, was actually a means of poking fun at the men who “influenced” his style.

The first photo sees Drake doing another dramatic selfie face in a mirror. The second, though, is of Duke Dennis. Yes, the gaming YouTuber. The third photo is of Joe Budden. Yes, the rapper-turned-podcaster who has been beefing with Drake for the better part of a decade and a half. Drizzy made sure to choose photos in which Dennis and Budden are giving the camera their most “seductive” face. The photos are made all the more hilarious by the fact that Drake follows them up with two photos of himself looking, well, ridiculous with similar facial expression.

Drake Made Fun Of His Own Mirror Selfies

The caption that the 6 God attaches to these photos says it all. “I’m not aware of my picture or mirror face,” he writes. “It’s a curse from birth and I’m influenced by what I see.” It’s safe to say that nobody was expecting Drake to post photos of Duke Dennis and Joe Budden of all people. Not really the guys who come to mind when thinking of the rapper’s influences (Budden musically, but still). Duke Dennis has reacted to a lot of Drake songs, like most YouTubers, but the two have never publicly interacted. It just goes to show that the 6 God really likes to spend time online when he’s not recording or dropping 100 Gigs on our headtops.

Drake’s decision to post Joe Budden is intriguing, given the podcaster’s recent comments. The two men have never seen eye to eye, but Budden praised Drake during a recent pod. He felt like Drake was doing a good job of recovering after losing the Kendrick Lamar battle. He went as far as to say that he liked the last batch of songs Drizzy dropped on his 100 Gigs site. Drake has been charitable with another former enemy, Kanye West, by giving him a recent Instagram follow. Maybe the same thing is happening with Budden. It’s probably just a troll, though.
