Vic Mensa is never known to hold his tongue, and his latest freestyle over the instrumental to Drake’s “Diplomatic Immunity” is no different. Fans were quick notice that among the poignant bars on the track, which seem to be indirect jabs at numerous artists out, he appears to drop an unlikely diss directed at Joe Budden.
“Fake like it’s all love at shows ’til they push the Joe button and you get punched in the face as a consequence” he raps. “And jump right back on live, cappin’ with confidence/Famous for putting your hands on women, you can’t be proud of it/Don’t try to fuck wit me shorty, just stay monogamous.”
Budden — for all intents and purposes — appears to have been nothing but complimentary of the Chicago rapper, which made the intent confusing to some.
Mensa took to Instagram to clarify that there was no disrespect intended. “Shoutout Joe Budden,” he stated via Instagram video. “Don’t misunderstand me. That was not a Joe Budden diss.”
The bars seemed especially searing — pre-clarification — as Budden had been previously accused of severely beating an ex-girlfriend, although charges stemming from the incident were officially dismissed in early 2016.
During his Total Slaughter battle against Hollow Da Don, Hollow became enraged during a scheme that focused on the allegations.

Curiously, the freestyle makes no direct mention of DJ Akademiks — with whom Mensa clashed during his visit to Everyday Struggle last year. Ak named dropped the Roc Nation branded rapper in a snippet of an upcoming song titled “Trap America.”
Do you believe Vic Mensa’s clarification, or do you think he’s just not owning up too his bars? Let us know in the comments.
Well, it wasn’t a big up or a compliment, …. so what was it then?
homeboy is a straight up hoe for that. attention seeking emo f@g shit.
Yes..but in all fairness…joe budden can be viewed as an attention seeking how depending on who you ask. I like both em so I hate it had to come to something like this tho…
id say its a play on words.. talking about the joe budden & consequence beef. & so what if it was a diss to joe budden… this is hip hop.
Easily A play on words the ending of it proves that. But you know fans swear they know more than the actual artist who wrote it lol fucking bitch ass fans. Vic rip this shit tho
Sounds like he talking about xxx to me. who else got punched in the face at his show, went right back on live popping shit 5 mins later and got charges for being a woman abuser and is like 4ft4 and a youngn. Of course he’s referencing Joe and Cons love and hip hop beef but not dissing. Vics bars just got layers unlike most of these dr seuss rappers
Wait who’s Vic Mesna?
You will never convince me that this gentlemen doesn’t enjoy dick on his face, lips and neck.
Plus I think he might’ve killed Cyrus
when rappers realize they dont want no smoke with joe >>>>
Truth is Joe is better than 98% of the people who beef with him…
smart move mensa…. dont get torched out here
