Joe Budden Criticizes NYC Strip Clubs, Waka Flocka Responds

Joe Budden Joins Patreon As Head of Creator Equity

If you listen to the Joe Budden Podcast, you would know that Joe Budden frequents a few strip clubs in New York City and has been vocal about the lack of diversity and blatant colorism at NYC strip clubs. Budden took to Instagram on Thursday morning to issue a warning to NYC strip clubs.

“NY strip clubs, not only are you not hiring Black women, but you’re purposely hiring the SAME exact girl..” Budden said. “Your promoter having a type is gonna lose yall money this Summer.. this is disgusting (not the girls, the optics)” he added.

Many on social media came out in support of Budden’s remarks, noting the lack of diversity in NYC strip clubs. Others, however, made fun of Joe Budden, more so because he was taking a stand for inclusion in the strip clubs.

However, there were some people who didn’t support Budden. DJ Akademiks reposted Budden’s message on IG and Waka Flocka commented under, calling Budden a “soft ass.”

“Man shit yo soft ass up,” Waka replied. Budden then replied to Waka, “@wakaflocka or what?”

It is unclear why Waka responded to Budden’s message that way. Maybe Waka is on the list of artists that Budden has beef with. Regardless, do you agree with Budden?

CyHi Tha Prynce is known for being one of the best writers and freestylers in the game, having written for Kanye, had one of the best verses on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and having ghostwritten “Sicko Mode” for Travis Scott and Drake. In a new freestyle for Sway’s Universe, CyHi took shots at Joe Budden.

“Joe Budden, why you got so much hate in your heart / They gon let you f*ck around make hating an art,” CyHi rapped.

In a lighthearted response, Budden took to Twitter to respond to CyHi, asking why he was being name-dropped while on vacation.

“Why is Cyhi doing that to my name while I’m on vacation? That’s not nice,” Budden tweeted.

In another tweet, Budden took aim at the actual bar, calling it a “nasty ass bar.”

“& w that nasty ass bar too ….. you lot so lucky,” Budden added.

The freestyle was later taken down, not because of lyrical content but because of a “technical issue.” Sway even confirmed it on his Twitter.

“Peace. To those asking. I decided to take down the @CyhiOfficial Freestyle down because of tech issues that interferes with his performance. It’s rare when it happens & I continue to learn from it when it does. He’s a DOPE MC! We aim to preserve the integrity @SwaysUniverse,” Sway tweeted.

CyHi later responded to Budden’s tweet, saying that he’s lucky that they messed up his vocals, before calling out Joe Budden for one day praising someone and turning their back on the the next day.

“You’re lucky they fucked my vocals up lol up but you are a hater!!! Cause One day you champion a nigga then you turn around and say some weird shit. So you use my name for views so I just returned the favor!!” CyHi tweeted.

We’re sure to hear about this on the next podcast episode.

CyHi Takes Aim at Joe Budden During Freestyle on 'Sway's Universe,' Budden Responds on Twitter

Could CyHi be the person to bring Joe Budden out of retirement? Doubt it, but he had some bars for the podcast host during a visit to Sway’s Universe.

“Joe Budden, why you got so much hate in your heart / They gon let you fuck around make hating an art,” CyHi rapped.

Joe, who is currently on baecation, hit Twitter with a simple message: “Why is Cyhi doing that to my name while I’m on vacation? That’s not nice.” He would double back with a little more to say, “& w that nasty ass bar too….. you lot so lucky lol”

Isaiah Rashad Speaks to Joe Budden about his sexuality following sex tape leak

by
Isaiah Rashad

Gay pride month is just days away, but it seems like despite the progress of the LGBTQ movement, many are not quite ready to embrace male homosexuality within the hip-hop community. However, artist Isaiah Rashad appears to be on a mission to change that, addressing his sexuality with following a leak of a sex tape in which he engages in sex acts with other males.

The video began making its rounds on the internet and social media back in February, but Rashad had not directly publicly addressed the questions surrounding his sexual preferences.

Budden interviewed Rashad on Joe Budden TV. During the lengthy interview, Rashad explained that he had spent the last several years exploring not just his sexual preference, but his identity as a whole, describing it as a growing experience of sorts.

When asked directly about his sexual orientation by Budden, Rashad responded with the following: “I’d say I’m sexually fluid, I’m still learning about it myself. I’m putting my head in the books to find out the basics of it, but basically … I’m more attracted to a personality. I’m more attracted, sometimes, to the intellect.”

The interview comes after Budden and others had discussed Rashad’s sexuality without consulting with him first. At Coachella, Rashad even featured a video montage of clips of Budden and others including The Game, Akademiks, and others discussing the video from an uninformed perspective. However, the video at the festival cut from the footage to a narrator’s voice that said “The purpose of doing that was to embarrass him [Rashad]. However, it backfired. When his video leaked, his streams and everything went up. He’s up on the charts now.”
