Joe Budden Thinks Diddy Drama Could Get “Much Worse” Following Home Raids

by

Earlier this week, Diddy’s Miami and Los Angeles mansions were raided by Homeland Security, sparking reactions from countless fans and peers. Reportedly, the raids were part of an ongoing federal human trafficking investigation, though further details of the investigation have yet to be disclosed.

Amid the fallout, The Joe Budden Podcast discussed the raids during a recent episode, sharing their mixed reactions to the news. “This is a wrap,” Budden said. “Not only is this a wrap, but this is about to get much worse. This is about to get bad, bad, bad, bad… Even the silence is eerie.” He went on to describe the Bad Boy Records founder’s infamous gatherings and all of their high-profile attendees.

Joe Budden Says “This Is A Wrap”

He then noted how he had attended some of Diddy’s parties recently, though he was confident he wasn’t taking part in any illegal activity at the events. For others, however, he says they may not be so sure. “I had some good times on those premises and got the f*ck out of there and went on about my business,” he explained. “There’s no footage of me out there, there’s no pictures. So wow, what a relief if you’ve been to some of these functions and just know that to be true. But if you’re on the other side of that and you see all of them people raiding all three homes? Yeah, I would be pretty nervous. My heart would drop to the f*cking floor if that were the case.”

Budden continued, also speculating that various rappers have found themselves in “compromising situations” at Diddy’s events, and been seduced by the mogul. “Everything about him is intoxicating, euphoric, and seductive,” he claimed. What do you think of Diddy’s mansions getting raided by Homeland Security? Are you shocked? What about The Joe Budden Podcast‘s take on the debacle?

Lizzo Wants Candace Owens To Stop Speaking On Her Following “Problematic” Criticism

by

Lizzo is currently dealing with a lot of pressure and criticism for her alleged actions, and some of that backlash is more warranted than other aspects. For example, her sexual harassment lawsuit is on brief pause amid an appeal, and it relates more closely to an imbalanced power dynamic and workplace toxicity. These remain allegations at press time, and with some accusations dropping while others persist, it’s unclear what will come of them. But the Michigan native is still making waves in the public eye and fighting against these narratives online. In fact, her most recent attempt to do so has nothing to do with these lawsuits, but rather with other, less valid criticisms of her career.

“Hey everyone, it’s come to my attention that some of you think I have thick skin,” Lizzo lip-syncs a Reels audio in a recent Instagram post. “I don’t. I never have, I never will. Everything you say deeply, deeply hurts me, affects me, keeps me up at night; you have to be nice to me. That’s the deal moving forward, okay?” “I literally just be minding my business please keep my name out ya mouf unless it’s something positive or real.. pls n thank u,” she captioned the clip.

Moreover, this is probably an indirect response to Candace Owens calling Lizzo a “problematic” liar on The Joe Budden Podcast. “I don’t like the game that people play where they do something that is so obviously outrageous,” she remarked. “Like, you know, Lizzo in a thong shaking your ass cheeks. You know what that was.

“This is a. Disgusting, b. Perverted, and people take their kids to the games,” the political commentator chimed in. “Is there no space that’s safe? […] And then she’s like, ‘if you don’t like it, that’s your problem.’ Like no, you are being problematic. And now you’re playing the game where you do something outrageous, and then, when we outrage, you pretend that we’re the crazy ones. I’m not dealing with that. Stop gaslighting me, okay?” For more news on Candace Owens and the latest updates on Lizzo, stick around on HNHH.

Royce Da 5’9″ Says J. Cole Is The Only Rapper Still Being Competitive In Hip-Hop

by

Royce Da 5’9″ says J. Cole is the “only competitive” artist in the current landscape of hip-hop. Appearing on Joe Budden’s podcast, Royce reflected on how the genre has changed over the years with his Slaughterhouse partner. They also discussed where Cole ranks in comparison to Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

“I haven’t taken a real deep look out into the landscape but from where I’m sitting it looks like J. Cole the only one being competitive,” he began “He’s the only one who’s rapping with the kind of conviction that says I still value the number one spot as a lyricist. I see a lot of the younger generations not really hanging their hat on just the lyrical part of creativity at all. They’re finding different ways to impact and resonate with people which is fine.”

“That’s when the elder statesmen like myself start learning,” he continued. “I wanna make myself understand why is this touching people like that. I can’t even understand what they’re saying. It’s definitely moving away from lyricism being the caveat, which I’m cool with ’cause there’s a lot more things I can do without being lyrical-lyrical.” Budden mostly agreed, listing Cole above Kendrick Lamar. “I got Cole as my one,” Budden said. “I’m hoping that Kendrick’s next album could try to fix that for me. Drake is doing his Chuck E. Cheese sh*t. Good for him. That’s it now. Yeah, that’s it.” Check out Royce’s full comments on the podcast below.

Joe Budden Walks Back Beyonce Criticism

by

Joe Budden has apologized to Beyonce for his criticism of her latest single, “Texas Hold ‘Em.” In a previous episode of his podcast, he refused to speak on the track because he’s “not a country music critic.” The single was one of two country songs Beyonce dropped by surprise during the Super Bowl.

“I want to apologize to Beyonce,” Budden said. “I like that song, I like the other song too, but I like that song a lot. And let me tell you something, let me be totally phony and get on the total opposite of everything I said the first time. If the rumors are true, if Beyoncé is covering that Dolly Parton song. If that little rumor is true — ’cause Dolly just tweeted yesterday and that tweet ain’t out of nowhere, if Beyonce does that? Oh my God. Get Mason Ramsey to open up!”

While the song topped the Billboard Hot 100, Joe Budden hasn’t been the only voice to criticize the genre pivot for Beyonce. Azealia Banks also recently admitted she isn’t a fan of the move. “You’re setting yourself up to be ridiculed again,” Banks said on social media. “There’s a theatrical element to country music !!! Them critics are not just going to accept an ugly blond wig and bullying from jay-z !!! It’s giving big time musical grift… [Y]ou’re just really not hitting the button.” Check out Budden’s comments on “Texas Hold ‘Em” below.

Hitmaka Labels Diddy “Diabolical” & Claims He Tried To Sabotage His Career

by

Hitmaka says Diddy has tried to sabotage his career at multiple points over the years and labeled the Bad Boy mogul “diabolical.” He spoke about his working relationship with Diddy during a recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast. He began by explaining that Diddy initially asked him to contribute to The Love Album: Off the Grid.

“Puff hit me, he like, ‘Yo, I’m doing an R&B album, I need you, you the guy. It’s gonna be London on Da Track, you and me and I think we should do everything together. Send me some joints,’” he recalled. “I send him a 10 clip, crazy sh*t. He hit me back like, ‘I want that [Yung] Berg sh*t, stop trying to be me. It sound like you trying to do what I do, n***a. Send me some different sh*t.’ So I didn’t send him nothing. I was like, ‘F*ck it.’ Next thing I know, the n***a deciphered my records and reached out to everybody I collaborated with and dissected me from the situation. So he called Cardiak to his house like, ‘You need to be one of The Hitmen.’ Next thing, Eric Bellinger is in the Bahamas with muthaf*ckin’ Puff and they’re singing songs together.”

Hitmaka further accused Diddy of getting his producer tag wiped from French Montana’s album, They Got Amnesia. “I was like, ‘Damn, this n***a is really diabolical,’” he added. “So I wasn’t f*cking with him.” He also accused Diddy of turning his production partner Rob Holladay against him in the 2000s.

Joe Budden welcomed Candace Owens onto his podcast for an upcoming episode. The conservative commentator posted a photo of herself with Budden behind the scenes on her Instagram Story, on Tuesday. In response, Peter Rosenberg slammed Budden for platforming “bigots, trolls, and immoral a-holes.”

Posing with Budden, Owens captioned the photo: “It happened.” No further details about when the podcast will be released were made available. Rosenberg responded on Twitter: “So sick of the idea that conversations need to be had with bigots, trolls, and immoral a-holes… exchanging ideas among smart good people is useful… hearing a hateful hack babble on about hate is not worth anyone’s time.”

The interview comes after Owens recently voiced her opinion on Ice Spice during an episode of her show. “If you’re wondering whether or not it’s a good song, what do you think? It’s called ‘Think U The S**t (Fart),’” Owens said before playing a clip from the song. “Now I think we can all admit that we’ve fallen as a society. I mean, I wouldn’t say that was Mozart or Beethoven, but I’m not all of these mainstream media publications that routinely run to defend this kind of music similar to what they did with ‘WAP’ the most disgusting and filthiest lyrics I’ve ever read. They will then sit down and write an article trying to convince you that what you just heard was magical and they did this with this Ice Spice song.”

Joe Budden Admits He Wanted To Slap Logic Over Emotional Interview With His Father

by

Joe Budden slammed Logic during a recent episode of his podcast while discussing the rapper’s emotional interview with his father. In doing so, he admitted that he wanted to “smack” Logic in response.

“I feel sorry for him… I feel sorry for the people that feel they have to speak down on their parents ’cause they have resentments,” Budden began. “And if you wanna do that, you don’t have to do that on camera for the sake of content. I think Logic has a lot of that self-hate inside of him and it comes out in these weird ways. I wanted to smack Logic for talking to his dad like that, I see that sh*t and pray for him.”

Budden continued: “I didn’t need this interview to know that Logic hates his dad … You have no problem leasing the blackness that dad gave you even though, by your admission, you and dad are not [close]. So now you think it’s comfortable for you to sit in front of your black father’s face and say, ‘N***a.’ You think you got a lot of passes that I don’t believe you to have. That’s how a lot of his music comes off to me. My beef with Logic is his internal identity crisis that he has with himself.” It’s far from the first time the two have exchanged harsh words for one another. Logic previously called Budden a “hurt man” for his other comments on him. Check out Budden’s full criticism of Logic below.

Playboi Carti looked confused like, ‘y’all don’t know who I am?” No, n***a! You got a f**king mask on. Who the f**k are you under there? You are not at SXSW anymore! We can’t recognize you Bozo’s by the stocking mask you wearing. I hate these n***as, man, all of ’em! I love that song, I love that song, but not when tuxedos are out.
