Joe Budden Tears Into Drake Over UMG Legal Battle
Written by MAX FM on November 28, 2024
Joe Budden didn’t hold back during a recent episode of his podcast, where he went off on Drake after the rapper filed two legal petitions against Universal Music Group (UMG). The petitions claimed UMG boosted Kendrick Lamar’s diss track, ‘Not Like Us,’ a move that stirred up plenty of buzz.
Joe took the opportunity to call out Drake in a way that’s sure to grab attention. Joe described Drake’s actions as more than petty, calling him ‘selfish and manipulative.’ He accused Drake of shady behaviour behind the scenes for years. He went further, making harsh claims about Drake’s character and personal life.
Joe Budden didn’t hold back, calling Drake a ‘selfish, lying, manipulative sack of s**t’ who’s made enemies for the past 15 years. He accused Drake of behind-the-scenes antics, like sending money to other rappers’ baby mothers and reaching out to their wives. Joe also claimed that Drake’s privileged position, being both white and Jewish, shielded him from consequences. This allowed him to avoid accountability for his actions.
Joe’s rant has sparked further debate about the real dynamics behind the scenes in hip-hop. His comments challenge the notion that Drake’s fame shields him from accountability. Specifically, Drake has avoided consequences for behaviour that others would be held accountable for. With this rant, Joe Budden stirs the pot, drawing attention to the ongoing tension between him and Drake.
