Budden also added that there are already so many podcasts that operate solely in the interviewing lane such as N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s Drink Champs. He continued, “I was too scared to rely on anything. I didn’t wanna have to rely on guests. I was never that well-liked…but the people that come and fuck with me, I have a relationship with them or somebody really, really close to me. Other then that, n****s be trying to pop up…but listen, I like that there are so many places for rappers to go. Cause I don’t wanna talk to them but I certainly wanna hear from them and hear more about them.”

While he doesn’t interview too many rappers on his podcast, hip-hop is still the main topic of discussion. On Sunday’s episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, he discussed the ongoing feud between Pusha T and Jim Jones. “Now let me be objective and do my job the right way,” he said. “I’m torn here like Latoya Luckett. Boy, am I torn. On one hand I know to leave Push it to you alone.”

Joe Budden Defends Not Interviewing More Rappers

“Retired me active me if you were gonna if I were ever gonna—I would get at that n***a actually—but boy would I be respectful of my approach,” he added. “I’d have to lead with the jab, set them up have had a lot of thought would go into it it wouldn’t be the body it wouldn’t be as reckless at because Pusha T is a methodical man outside of rapping he is a methodical thinking, planning man.”

More and more news keeps coming out regarding Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and their doomed Spotify podcast venture. Previously, the audio company and industry professionals ridiculed the estranged royal family members for not producing enough content to satisfy the $20 million agreement. (Hence why Spotify decided not to renew the contract.) Now there’s talk that Meghan didn’t even interview many of her podcast guests. Originally reported by Podnews, many sources claim her staffers conducted the actual interviews. Meghan then dubbed her voice asking the questions into the dialogue.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex launched Archewell Audio — a reference to their son’s name, Archie — in 2022, where Meghan’s podcast Archetypes lived. During its brief, unfortunate run, it only reached 12 episodes. Spotify executives, like The Ringer’s Bill Simmons, expected the duo to provide much more content than what it ultimately came up with. In fact, Mr. Simmons is on record on his own podcast calling Harry and Meghan, “f*cking grifters.” For context, Bill Simmons produces two to three podcast episodes weekly for The Bill Simmons Podcast, as well as one to two guest appearances on other podcasts. In other words, there’s no excuse for Harry and Meghan’s lack of production.

Meghan Markle’s Blacklisting

It sounds like Meghan Markle is notorious for not doing her own work and then slapping her name on the final product. In 2022, writer Alison Yarrow commended a specific Archetypes producer for their excellent interviewing skills. They then edited that audio so that it sounded like Meghan interviewed Yarrow, despite it being a bald-faced lie. Harry and Meghan also failed to police any sort of COVID-19 information, another feather in the cap Spotify used to justify ending the partnership.

Meghan Markle potentially made more than the most-streamed Spotify song of all time — The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” — for what amounted to 12 hours of podcasting. This is a sobering fact, one that will make Spotify execs think twice before offering huge contracts to unheralded podcasting talent. As for Meghan, she hopes to find a new home for Archetypes, though that might be a daunting task as these tidbits of contention continue to surface.
