There’s no love lost between former podcast co-hosts Jamil “Mal” Clay and Joe Budden. Mal joined The Personal Party podcast for a conversation on Wednesday (February 16) and when the topic moved to Joe Budden, Mal basically said there’s no chance for reconciliation in the future following their May 2021 break-up.
“I don’t respect him at all,” Mal stated. “Shake his hand? I’ll shake the room before I shake his hand. That’s just what it is. It’s not even about the business or the money. It’s a lot of money, it’s a lot of money, bro, that me and Rory walked away from. It’s a lot of money that was taken out of our pockets. It’s a lot of money that still to this day, we don’t have no lawyers going after it. Keep it. We got our own bag.
“But, with that money that we walked away from, with that, what was owed to us that we walked away from, that was also me walking away from a relationship and a chapter of life that, once I walk away, you know, that door never opens again.”
Mal went on to compliment Budden on what he’s accomplished in music and in the podcast space, but couldn’t respect him anymore as a man.
“As a man, I’m just cut different,” he continued. “I don’t mix with that. I can’t be with people that move like that. You gotta have integrity, bro… It was about money, but it wasn’t about money. It was more so integrity, you’re lying to your friends, you’re stealing from your friends. I just don’t understand throwing your ego on your homies.”
Joe Budden Podcast Posts Impressive Numbers Despite Rory & Mal Split
Mal originally joined The Joe Budden Podcast in July 2016 following Marisa Mendez’s departure. A five-year run came to a screeching halt when co-host Rory Farrell was fired on-air during a May 2021 episode.
Mal then also left to start another venture with Rory and the New Rory & Mal podcast found a home at SiriusXM’s Stitcher in November. Listen to their latest episode below.
Nobody cares.
Nobody cares….but I guess I care because I clicked on the link just to comment Nobody cares. But Nobody cares…except maybe me and anyone else who comments Nobody cares
Got they “own bag” but still don’t understand the business. SMH When will people figure out that you never go from a worker to an owner in the same company. That shit is a fairytale. If you start out as the help, nobody is cutting you in and making you a partner. I don’t give a damn how cool y’all supposed to be. All you can do is leave there and start your own situation where you can be the owner. Now that he did that, he should have the sense to realize that nobody did him dirty.
Only pub these dudes get is by slandering Joe….Nobody cares lol
None of us know exactly what happened bc both sides tell a different story, so the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. With that being said when a dude says “ I don’t owe my friends respect” that should tell you something.
We don’t know what happened but I’ll say this.. in their response video after they were fired they conceded Joe probably did overpay them but it was the principle of seeing the books now you’re saying he stole from you? He talks about integrity yet he never quit they just no-showed and ignored Joe’s phone calls. He’s just as full of it as Joe.
Look at all the people in the comments who don’t care, and apparently understand R&M’s business more than they do. ?
