The Criticism
During the podcast episode, Budden expressed his belief that Drake, who he referred to as an “old head,” should not be collaborating with younger artists or pandering to the youth. He also made comments about Drake’s personal life, urging him to stop being involved with younger women.
Key Takeaway
The feud between Drake and Joe Budden escalated when Budden criticized Drake’s latest album, prompting an intense response from the Canadian rapper. Their exchange highlights the sensitive nature of the music industry and the significance artists place on their reputation and success.
These remarks clearly struck a nerve with Drake, as he responded to Budden with a scathing essay of his own. In his response, Drake not only dismissed Budden’s criticism but also attacked his musical career. He stated, “@joebudden you have failed at music. You left it behind to do what you are doing in this clip cause this is what actually pays your bills.”
Drake’s Retort
Drake didn’t stop there. He continued his tirade against Budden, making it clear that he did not value his opinion. He wrote, “For any artist watching this just remember you are watching a failure give their opinion on his idea of a recipe for success…a quitter give their opinion on how to achieve longevity.”
It seems that Budden might be reconsidering his stance, as he later admitted that he may have gone too far with his comments. In a tweet, he said, “I got a little carried away lol the content should mature a bit tho… 1 day.” However, this apology may be too little too late, as it appears that tensions between the two rappers are far from over.
