Rory Calls Out Joe Budden And Tells His Side Of Their Run-In At Lucky Daye Concert

by

The beef between Joe Budden, Rory, and Mal, who were all previously co-hosts of The Joe Budden Podcast, is still a pretty present narrative in all their media lives. One might think that it comes more from the departed duo, but this time around, it was Joe who spoke on running into Rory at a Lucky Daye show and the awkwardness that ensued. First, he asked Emanny why he went to say hi to Rory, and he explained why he keeps his distance with him. Rory then responded to these comments from his former colleague and spoke on why he thinks Budden is just butt-hurt.

“Sometimes, you just go to a Lucky Daye show with your girl and don’t even know someone’s around you,” Rory said of the Joe Budden run-in and his comments. “Sometimes, you don’t bump into anyone or see anyone. Telling somebody they need to go heal when they’re having the time of their life with their girl at an R&B concert, and you’re staring at them? I think… Who needs to heal in this situation? *laughs* Even though you was there. No, okay, we’re not stupid. Of course I posted that in reply to what was a very interesting rant on a podcast. I went to a Lucky Daye show, I didn’t see anyone whatsoever. I saw Emanny. That was it, in the line for popcorn. Shout out to E.”

Rory Responds To Joe Budden’s Lucky Daye Show Story

This comes amid continued supposed subliminals between these media rivals, including some alleged words that Joe Budden had for Rory and Mal following a conversation with Taxstone earlier this year. “I’m feeling like f**k all you n***as,” he tweeted back in June. “Ain’t no neutral. When I get on my s**t I don’t wanna hear nothing about bullying either… yall been asking for it.”

Meanwhile, Joe Budden also spoke this year on whether or not he misses the relationship he had with Rory and Mal. He does look back on their bond fondly, but he’s not interested in burying the hatchet or reconciling; just going their own ways. We’ll see what the future holds… And what other run-ins could happen.

[LISTEN] Joe Budden Rips Former Co-Hosts Rory & Mal Over Recent Comments

Joe Budden and his former co-hosts are back at it again.
Podcasters Rory and Mal recently called the New Jersey native a “thief” and “cat burglar” for the alleged financial issues they had host, which ultimately ended their relationship.

Budden has fired back and referred to them as the “bare minimum” boys — a  reference to Drake’s track “BackOutsideBoyz” from his and 21 Savage’s Her Loss album. Although Budden appears to throw subliminals at Rory and Mal, he never says their names.

“To whom this may concern,” he began. “This is not even on page one of the manual, ’cause you n-ggas ain’t in the bookstore. Instead of critiquing people’s placement on this list, we need more critiquing on why you’re not on it. To everyone not on it, shut the fuck up. There’s some steps that you n-ggas have missed.

“To whom it may concern, stop holding a microphone. I’m just giving out podcast advice. It’s certain n-ggas, y’all can’t speak to me, y’all didn’t do the work yet. You didn’t go to the bookstore.”

“Hire the editors. Get people to help. Invest in the staff. Pay the staff. Get more staff. Stop check chasing. Stop doing the bare minimum and expecting that to yield results. You n-ggas are the bare minimum boys.”

Mal has previously said there’s no chance of reconciliation for the former friends.
“I don’t respect him at all,” Mal stated. “Shake his hand? I’ll shake the room before I shake his hand. That’s just what it is. It’s not even about the business or the money. It’s a lot of money, it’s a lot of money, bro, that me and Rory walked away from. It’s a lot of money that was taken out of our pockets. It’s a lot of money that still to this day, we don’t have no lawyers going after it. Keep it. We got our own bag.”

He continued: “But, with that money that we walked away from, with that, what was owed to us that we walked away from, that was also me walking away from a relationship and a chapter of life that, once I walk away, you know, that door never opens again.”

Taxstone Slams Joe Budden’s Treatment Of Rory & Mal

by

Taxstone recently called out Joe Budden for what he viewed as manipulative behavior concerning his treatment of former podcast cohosts Rory and Mal. Moreover, he recently spoke to Complex about the state of hip-hop media and a host of other topics. Furthermore, readers may recall that the former Joe Budden Podcast collaborators blasted Joe after Complex named him the top rap media personality in the game. While their comments aimed to be fair to the list, they couldn’t help but bring up their bad blood when debating whether he deserves the honor. On that note, Taxstone had some words for the Slaughterhouse MC and warned others of his tendencies.

“I think Rory and Mal finally figured out that Joe was a master manipulator,” Taxstone remarked to the publication. “They was suffering from Stockholm Syndrome and Joe manipulates everybody around him. Even them dudes sitting with him now are being manipulated. But you gotta understand some people are alright with manipulation as long as they get something out of it. So I think them dudes know that. But I think they just cool with the situation. Sometimes people don’t got nothing going on in their life. They need to be a part of something.”

Taxstone Sends Shots At Joe Budden

Moreover, he also blasted Troy Ave amid their continuing beef and specifically N.O.R.E. for giving Ave media attention. “It’s fools like the people who interview Troy Ave,” Taxstone expressed. “They interview him ’cause they know he’s gonna talk about me. He has nothing going on … So it’s like the podcast game when I see what was going on. Like with Nore. He was on my podcast. And then for maybe two, three months straight, we was on the phone every day, six in the morning, five in the morning, two in the morning, putting together the ideas for Drink Champs. At first, just summed it up to Nore’s looking for numbers. He don’t care. Like, he’ll sacrifice anything.”

For what it’s worth, Joe Budden responded to criticisms that Taxstone, Rory and Mal, and others threw his way, though he didn’t name any names. “To whom this may concern,” he began on his podcast. “Instead of crtiquing people’s placement on this list, we need more crtiquing on why you’re not on it. To everyone not on it, shut the f**k up. There’s some steps that you n***as have missed. To whom it may concern, stop holding a microphone. It’s certain n***as, y’all can’t speak to me, y’all didn’t do the work yet. You didn’t go to the bookstore. Hire the editors. Get people to help. Invest in the staff. Stop check chasing. Stop doing the bare minimum and expecting that to yield results. You n***as are the bare minimum boys.” For more on this drama and the latest on Taxstone, Joe Budden, and Rory and Mal, return to HNHH.

Rory & Mal React To Joe Budden Being Complex’s Number One Hip-Hop Media Personality

by

Rory and Mal, formerly of The Joe Budden Podcast, recently reacted indignantly to their former cohost being named Complex‘s number one hip-hop media personality. Moreover, they expressed their thoughts on Budden during the New Rory & Mal podcast, going over Complex‘s whole list. Not only that, but they labeled the Slaughterhouse MC as a “cat burglar” and “thief” in their remarks. While they didn’t trash the publication for their choice, they did have some thoughts on who else should be included. Still, their words suggest that they have an issue with their estranged colleague being so high up.

“The thief!” Mal proclaimed. “The cat burglar. Big integrity … look at the cat burglar staring off into the next house he wants to run in. That’s big cat! Quiet as a mouse.” Then, Rory gave his own take on the matter. “I’m keeping my non-bias the way I have this entire time,” he explained. “I didn’t wanna defend Adam22, nor do I wanna defend this gentleman, but he should be in the Top 5, and that’s based off what Hip Hop media is now. So I’m not sure if I’m giving a compliment right now by saying I think these people should be in the Top 5.”

Rory & Mal Blast Joe Budden After Complex‘s Hip-Hop Media Power Rankings

The trio had a falling out over seemingly financial issues, with Rory being booted from The Joe Budden Podcast after weeks-long debates in 2021. Shortly after, Mal stepped away. In February of last year, Mal opened up about the chance of a reconciliation on The Personal Party podcast. “I don’t respect him at all,” he maintained. “Shake his hand? I’ll shake the room before I shake his hand. That’s just what it is. It’s not even about the business or the money, it’s a lot of money, it’s a lot of money, bro, that me and Rory walked away from. It’s a lot of money that was taken out of our pockets, it’s a lot of money that still to this day, we don’t have no lawyers going after it. Keep it. We got our own bag.”

“But, with that money that we walked away from, with that, what was owed to us that we walked away from, that was also me walking away from a relationship and a chapter of life,” he continued. “Once I walk away, you know, that door never opens again.” With that in mind, a reunion between the three is highly unlikely. Still, they deal in an industry of discourse, and to see a closed door on that is a sad development. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Rory, Mal, and Joe Budden.
