Joe Budden Denies Being Bisexual Or Gay Following Fizz Remarks

by

Comments made on The Joe Budden Podcast thrust the podcaster into a viral moment. For years, there have been rumors that Joe Budden was bisexual, and with each allegation, he trolls the masses. The former rapper is happily in love with his girlfriend, yet still, his sexuality is regularly called into question. This was recently reignited after Budden spoke about Lil Fizz’s controversy over an alleged nude leak.

“Aye, Lil Fizz, you’re lucky I ain’t see this news sooner,” he said on his podcast. “I would have started with this one, buddy. But this why I’ma fight y’all, ’cause y’all have eyes and know some of this is funny. If this n*gga got his ass tooted up in the air on OnlyFans, somebody need to know about that.”

Additionally, he added, “Do I like skinny people? Lil Fizz too small for me. I’d break that lil’ boy. I’d have fizz coming out of Fizz, man. Get this n*gga outta here.”

It was all delivered with a roar of laughter, but the internet quickly shared the clip. Soon, Budden found himself a trending topic, and he returned to make a few things clear.

“I am not gay or bisexual,” he further stated. “I want to apologize—I’m flattered!… Y’all think y’all was flirting with me. I took it as disrespect.” Budden then relived a few conversations he’s had since making his statements on Fizz.

“I’m not playin’ with you. Y’all n*ggas is aggressive. Y’all tall. It’s over now, yo, it’s over. Enough! No more jokey-jokes. Big ass gay dudes. Big as hell in my DMs.”

As he’s been fighting off people sliding in his DMs, Budden has also gone to verbal war with Vivica Fox and Claudia Jordan. After saying he doesn’t like Megan Thee Stallion, Fox and Jordan called him out. He returned the favor and didn’t hold back.

However, he also apologized to Megan for joking about her mental health.

Vince Staples Offers His Thoughts On Drake Releasing A Dance Album: ‘I Did That In 2017’

by

There’s a new Drake album out and as usual, it’s dominating the discourse online as fans parse what it means for pop culture at large. However, this time, there’s a whole new angle for that discussion, as Honestly, Nevermind eschews Drake’s usual mopey R&B and passive-aggressive raps in favor of a genre experiment in the vein of house music alongside executive producer Black Coffee. And as usual, Joe Budden has thoughts, which he shared on his podcast along with call-in guest Vince Staples.

While Joe wondered whether the album meant the elimination of rap music as a whole (because Joe Budden, again, is not a journalist and has no real frame of reference for such things), Vince’s response was more measured as he pointed out that such genre-hopping projects are nothing new in hip-hop — not even for Vince himself. “I did that in 2017,” he reminded the host. “N****s was on me… That Big Fish Theory, n****s was mad at that. ‘What’s up with this n****?’”

Vince expanded on his views (no pun intended), comparing music to Instagram: “Everything looks the same, everything moves the same, everyone dresses the same, everyone talks the same,” he explained. “So the genre sh*t is gonna have to go out the window eventually. It’s too hard to separate culture because the internet is kinda pushing everything in the same little bubble.”

He’s got a point: Besides himself, a number of artists have blended genres including dance genres like house and techno into hip-hop, with some artists distancing themselves from the “rapper” label altogether. However, the thing that hasn’t gone away is rapping as a lyrical style, and there are still plenty of artists — arguably way more of them, to be honest, who release music primarily in that mode regardless of trends. And considering some of the responses to Drake’s album, it doesn’t look like hip-hop fans were quite ready to make the switch — which didn’t stop it from topping Apple Music’s Dance chart on release day.

Basically, no rappers should be restricted solely to rapping or making music according to popular trends, but rap as a genre probably isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Joe Budden had some high praise for Cardi B, and she decided to show some love right back. The notoriously critical hip-hop personality, who runs his own show, The Joe Budden Podcast, was discussing her rise to fame and nothing but love for the New York rapper. “Cardi B is a superstar,” he said. “And you can’t argue that she is not.”

Well, as she does with most things — good or bad — Cardi B caught wind of the clip, which had been circulating on Twitter, and decided to respond. Of course, the high praise meant more to her because she has a long history with Budden, who also came up in New York as a rapper.

“I told y’all he always believed in me……that’s why I always got love for him even when he gets me mad …That’s my mean uncle,” she wrote on Twitter, sharing a very old photo of the two together, way back before Cardi is where she is now. Considering how many people try to come after Cardi due to her success, it’s nice to see someone in the game — and a man, no less — give her the credit she’s due. Now, superstar, can we get a new album?

One of music’s most popular podcasts came to an unexpected end on Wednesday morning. The Joe Budden Podcast, co-hosted by Joe Budden, Rory, and Mal, was declared “100,000% done” by Budden. The show’s 437th episode was uploaded to YouTube early Wednesday morning all to be removed a short time later, but not before some fans were able to get a listen to what transpired on it. Budden would eventually re-post the episode to his Patreon account for viewers to watch.

In the new episode, Budden, who is seated alone on the set that usually features Rory and Mal with him, begins by addressing the former of his previous co-hosts. “Rory feels like he has so many options here, somehow he still feels like he’s running the show [and] he still feels like he has choices and options, he feels like he’s entitled to more,” he said. “Rory, you are in breach of your contract. And from this point forward, you are fired and you are not welcome back.” Despite this, Budden did not reveal exactly how Rory breached his contract.

Elsewhere, Budden called Rory a “liability” and encouraged him and Mal to start their own show elsewhere. After the episode was initially posted to YouTube, Budden hopped on Twitter and gave a brief message, writing, “Helluva run!! God bless.” He also responded to a few fans who had thoughts on the podcast’s end.
