Many in the Hip Hop community turned to Joe Budden’s Twitter to see what he would say after Drake brought out Eminem during the Detroit stop of the “Summer Sixteen” tour on Tuesday (August 16).
That show of solidarity put an end to the (false) rumors that Eminem was about to jump into Budden’s beef with Drake, but could also be interpreted as an act of psychological warfare, bringing out the Shady Records boss while in a feud with a Shady Records artist. (Joe is part of Slaughterhouse, the four-man group signed to Em’s label).
What’s more, in a photo posted to Em’s Instagram, the caption read “Views From The Joe,” which was more likely a reference to the Joe Louis Arena, where the concert was held, and not talking about Joe Budden.
Still, for a guy who has been known to go full-on A Beautiful Mind with decoding cryptic disses, Budden didn’t seem to be too worried about this one.
“I keep trying to be irrelevant but y’all won’t let me lol,” he tweeted (and later deleted) after the Eminem/Drake performance, doing the same with another post that said: “I’m smoking hookah w my girl, why do I have 300 mentions cuz 2 top tier artists performed together? I’m lost. Lol.”
Budden has slowed down his assault on the VIEWS rapper (his most recent diss track — the fourth — dropped almost a month ago), although fans and media continue to fan the flames.
In an interview on the “Ebro In The Morning” radio show on Hot 97, Budden said he was tired of talking about Drake before eventually cutting things short by walking out mid-conversation.
But despite his declarations that he’s tired of the beef, Budden is making headlines again this week for talking negatively about Drake, albeit in a video that is almost two weeks old.
In a Periscope broadcast apparently recorded August 9, deleted sometime afterward, and then reuploaded by a YouTube user on August 17 with the catchy title “The Podcast He Didn’t Want YOU To See,” Budden continues to interpret Drake’s behavior in their interactions, while also throwing some shots.
“He’s very insecure,” Budden explained. “If’ I’m Drake, I’ve built my entire empire off said insecurity. So why would I want to get rid of it? I wouldn’t. That’s exactly why I stopped dissing him. It was pointless.”

This nigga took an L without even being dissed,he worse than meek
Oh wait a minute. Weren’t you OVO stans cheering when Drake did the “No Shopping” verse? Now Joe wasn’t being dissed?
Translation=dick rider
Explain how he took an L? I’m just so curious as to what you’re reasoning is.
Wait what?
I thought Joe Budden’s was trying to put Drake to sleep, not diss him. Sleepy Drake.
Joe bodied Drake and Drake doesn’t want to respond because he is a pussy. We established drake has a vagina, let’s move on please.
Ya in your opinion. Meanwhile Joe will go back to his podcasts and the rest of the world clowning Joe on memes and shit making him look like a complete loser.
The man is famous, the only one’s that are losers are Drake Stans for being so biased. Dickriding has become a trend, everybody thinks their favorite artist is the best artist. But you know what give Drake a W for making his music, because the man knows what sells and it aint bars, its not real rap beef, its radio hits. Hip hop is constantly evolving and i just pray that it gets better cus right now it’s all the same.
You’re reaching Chris…. ANYONE with an IQ over 1 knows that the caption Views from the Joe, is solely a reference to Joe Louis Arena, anyone even remotely thinking or even trying to speculate otherwise is an idiot…
Agreed but it was clearly meant to make people’s minds go there
Still waiting on the new Slaughterhouse, and that’s kind of all I care about in this whole beef. Like, this could have been a perfect opportunity for the rest of SH to strike at Drake and get some real buzz and then drop their album because of the publicity. and I’m kinda disappointed in Em for not backing his artist. Remember back in 2003 when Shady/Aftermath all rode for each other in their beefs?
50 and Dre never said anything about Benzino when he was beefing with Em. And Em only beefed with Ja Rule when Ja talked about Em’s daughter.
Young buck responded to benzino in “prices on my head”
see ‘Nail In The Coffin’ by eminem
You ever tried arguing with a tree? It doesn’t argue back. Seems pointless to continue with no response.
Slim Jesus for the win!
Joe Budden needs to beef till he drops his wack ass garbage album that will sell under 1k albums total. Then he will go back to podcasts and being irrelevant. Only an idiot would think Joe won this beef after people clowned him on social media creating memes of him running up on kids and roasting him about it. Joe looks like a complete joke now and after he stops mentioning his name he will go back to being another nobody.
Joe came out on top in this beef. Drakes afraid to respond. And I think that the instagram post was another subliminal jab a Budden. But what do I know, right.
no Joe Budden is looking like a crack head groupie. You see his interview on Hot97, how can you say he won anything. You must identify with loser bum nikkas
lol aubrey stans twist anything
what a pathetic fanbase
Fuck joe budden??????
Is an L nigga says he don’t want to talk about drake but still talks about drake???
this has proven to be the most pussy beef in hiphop history
