The logic is clear: pair the most controversial rapper with the most controversial podcaster and watch the money come in.Joe Budden is more than happy to talk about the delicate relationship between Drake and himself. Also, in the most current episode of his self-titled podcast, the Slaughterhouse rapper went on a tirade against musicians who are criticizing his decision to switch gears from rapping to podcasting. However, Budden has made it plain that the 6ix God is the only one who can ever truly critique him on this matter. How come he has that advantage over everyone else? Well, Joe implies that Drizzy is the only one who has genuinely achieved the kind of popularity that Joe had hoped for when he initially set out to become a hip-hop artist, as mentioning Drizzy brings in a lot of money for Joe.

Joe Budden recently made the comment, “I move the way I move,” on his show. “If n***as has an issue with it, then it stuck!” Cardi B famously said (pardon the pun) I get one million dollars every time Drake disses someone. You all lack that fairness! Yes, there are a lot of people who believe I stand to benefit financially by praising or condemning you n***as. Only he will be allowed to use that little box! I’m going to discuss that ***a’s diss music in here regardless of how much I like it! The number of occurrences is excessive. That’s going to be an excellent month.

By the way, Cardi B did bring up Joe Budden’s clownish speculation about Drake’s purported $400 million deal with UMG as an issue in their feud. “Stop being so hateful,” she said. If someone gave me $400 million, I will f***ing tour until I am 65 years old. You do not possess $400 million. No matter how much good someone does, you always find a way to criticize it. I am deeply disappointed by that. It seems like you’re always picking fights.

Joe Budden’s fiery opinions on Drake often reach Drake’s supporters as well. “If you’re talking to a Drake fan, that don’t mean you’re talking to a hip-hop fan,” he stated recently. Online, many people naturally took this as a declaration that Drake supporters don’t listen to hip-hop. The boundary between constructive criticism and vicious hatred is razor thin, as Budden and Aubrey often demonstrate.
