Joe Budden may be a fan of “Drake with the melodies,” but he’s decidedly not a fan of having wound up on Drizzy’s Finsta.
Monday, a slow-motion clip of Budden exiting a vehicle while smoking landed on the Drake-associated @plottttwistttttt page. Soundtracking the footage is “Let It All Work Out,” the vulnerable closer to Lil Wayne’s 2018 album Tha Carter V.
“Hey, Drake, don’t shoot at me mad that you ice cold,” Budden said in a recent podcast conversation touching on the IG moment. “I’m not doing a back-and-forth with a corpse. I wanted to do it when it was fun. Don’t go get shot all through the year and then pop up like Bernie at Weekend at Bernie’s wanting to shoot at me now. No, n***a. Go spin. Spin the fucking block. … Are you crazy?”
As Budden himself acknowledged, he has indeed had his own past issues with the 6 god, and he's been no stranger to taking these grievances public. In January, he referred to Drake as a “Karen” in response to his “Not Like Us”-focused lawsuit against UMG.
As for the IGtroversy, Budden had plenty more to say on the topic.
“I just seen that shit,” he said, as heard below. “99 n***as done jumped on your ass. You out smoking hookah in turquoise boots. Don’t post me. Go get your fucking lick back.”
Later, Budden offered an “I like Drake with the melodies” concession, referring to Drake and PND’s upcoming album together, due this week. He quickly returned, however, to a more critical perspective when saying a bit more about landing on Drake’s Finsta.
“That n***a dead as could be,” Budden said, referencing the Kendrick Lamar feud. “He’s dead as a doornail. It’s dead. Everybody left. I left. It’s just you and Ak now. You, Ak, and Adin.”
