Joe Budden has boldly claimed that he helped Kendrick Lamar and Pusha T defeat Drake.
Speaking on X Spaces on Sunday (June 23), Budden addressed his past feud with Drizzy and said he believes that it laid the groundwork for both Kendrick and Pusha to emerge victorious in their respective feuds with the 6 God.
“I don’t think any one man takes down Drake,” he said of the perennial hitmaker, who recently became the first artist ever to surpass 100 billion streams on Spotify. “I think I passed the baton to Pusha. I think Push passed the baton to Kendrick. And the job is done now.”
His comments can be heard at the four-hour and 21-minute mark below.

Drake and Joe Budden have an extensive history together having traded shots on songs like “4PM in Calabasas,” “Making a Murderer Pt. 1,” “Afraid” and “8AM in Charlotte.”
The long-simmering feud reignited last year when Drizzy sent the former Slaughterhouse rapper angry messages after he criticized his album For All the Dogs.
āTake a chill pill, Anthony,ā the Toronto native allegedly messaged Budden, who read out the DMs on his eponymous podcast. āHave a drink. Throw on some instrumentals. Maybe write one of those, āFellas, do your thing, lemme do my thingā joints for old timeās sake. A little radio play would do you some good, papa.ā
Interjecting with some commentary, Budden said: āIt sounds like he thinks that this is, like,Ā ViewsĀ beef time. I want to reiterate: Iām happier than Iāve ever been. I donāt have beef! I donāt even get the message, but cool.ā
He then revealed he replied to Drakeās DMs by writing: āIām not sure why you went crazy like that. I like the album. This aināt 2016, I got no beef. Get your shit off, though. As a matter of fact, nobodyās happier for you than me.ā
Budden had earlier said that For All the Dogs was aimed at “kids” and that Drake was sleeping with 25-year-olds, despite being almost 40 himself.
The media personality also celebrated when Kendrick Lamar dropped “Not Like Us” and did a victory dance on his podcast while claiming that Drake had lost to the Compton rapper.
Despite his frequent criticism of Drizzy, Budden recently insisted that his legacy remains in tact and pointed to various albums of the 6 God’s that he likes.
look at the shit these people live in. the worst of the slums. always begging for a handout always claiming some shit is rigged against them. and this is what these losers celebrate. that’s why their people have nothing. canadians, jamaicans nigerians show up make money buy houses run business – these clowns run their mouth for whitey that’s why no one respects you
Lol, this mofo been having a meltdown for the past three weeksā¦
nigroes been fucked over for the last 500 years because you all stupid. can’t be no unity because you can’t fix stupid.
I’ve been Drake’s butt slave for the last 10 years.
I hope your mom has hidden all the guns in the houseā¦

Stop crying puccy. You get Kenny balls out cha mouth. Talking all that goofy shit. Boy you sound like a Kendrick Stan having a meltdown ššš¤£ keyboard warrior
All I see on this website is articles about Bendrick. If there was fairness in this world every article should be about Drake. Thereās so much to cover about him. What did he eat for dinner? What color underwear does he wear. You know, the questions that people want answers too
That can’t be Elliot Wilson because that looks like some homeless dude that was left in the microwave for too long and the put a mask on him lol
Think about it guys. It took the entire industry to fight against Drake to bring him down in a battle lol. I mean that is very impressive! Kendrick on stage with 100 people to show strength against 1 Drake lol.
20 v 1 lol these guys really think Kendrick won with a dance track š¤£š
Clout chasin ass Joe Bummin.
