Here’s What Joe Budden Said
On Thursday, March 28, a new episode of ‘The Joe Budden Podcast’ was released via YouTube. About two hours into the episode, Budden explained that he was waiting for Drake to respond to Kendrick Lamar’s recent diss toward him. However, he doesn’t believe Drake will react with the ferocity he needs to.
“I’ve never seen any of these n****s with a direct threat in front of them… with the exception of Drake,” Budden explained, seemingly referring to J. Cole and other rappers. “And I don’t believe Drake is gonna rap to the level that he was rapping at when he was doing those things. I don’t see that for him.”
As the conversation continued, Budden and his co-hosts referenced Drake’s recent single featuring SZA and Sexyy Red, ‘Rich Baby Daddy.’ At that point, Budden shared a strong opinion about Drake’s recent releases and his relationship with other artists.
“It sounds like a n***a that could rap at that level that gets paid off of everybody’s deal — trying to rap,” Budden continued. “That’s what it sounds like — that’s what it sounds like, to me.”
One of Budden’s co-hosts, QueenzFlip, then asked the podcaster if this information was confirmed.
“Oh, so you think he just likes being around Sexyy Red that much?” Budden replied. “…I could name some more people.”
