As the clips highlight, Budden believes the industry has somewhat conspired against Drake due to alleged shady dealings with his enemies' personal affairs and even the business side of things. Fans online are taking note of Budden's jabs as he was known to be friendly with Drake over the years, but fell out of favor with the entertainer after Budden was critical of his musical direction. For all dogs.
On X, ex-Twitter, JBTV's community space and others share their thoughts on Joe Budden using the pod to voice his grievances against Drake. We have the reactions listed below.
