On the newest installment of her “Queen Radio” series, Nicki Minaj invited Joe Budden, ultimately resulting in yet another argument between the two.
With the recent drop of Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer, many were expecting Megan to be a guest on the show. However, Minaj surprised fans by inviting Budden, despite the two’s troubled relationship in the past.
Minaj and Budden began arguing early on in the episode, but the trouble really began when Budden implied that Minaj hopping on Hot Girl Summer at the last minute was really a marketing ploy. However, Minaj insisted that the decision to collaborate was made after and Instagram Live session with Megan.
Tensions reached an all time high when Budden insinuated that Minaj had a drug problem. “Your entire last album did that. Your past is littered with it. Who gives a f*ck what she pop? But don’t sit here and act like you’ve never popped a pill,” he said. Minaj responded by saying, “You like tearing down women when they can’t defend themselves. You like tearing down women when you can try to end their career because you’re lowkey jealous of their success.”
Minaj later asked her producers to turn off Budden’s mic, cutting the show short. She ended the show by stating, “It’s been malicious and specific to me because he and I were under the same people when we were coming up,” she said. “I used to think to myself, this man is so bitter… I didn’t think his ego was that out of control that he couldn’t admit when he was wrong.”
Despite the altercation between the two, it appears as though Minaj will make an appearance on Budden’s podcast shortly, as she tweeted about it on Monday.
