Joe Budden spoke at length during the latest episode of his podcast about the theory that JAY-Z intended to disrespect Drake by helping select Kendrick Lamar to perform at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. In doing so, Budden hinted at knowing “the hottest tea” about something that happened backstage with Lil Wayne.
Budden began by admitting that, if he were JAY-Z, he wouldn’t like Drake’s decision to put out a house album, which he did with Honestly, Nevermind, during the same year that Beyonce did with Renaissance. “You gotta understand, we’re dealing with the ‘power’ part of ‘money, power, respect.’ That’s the part that we have to focus on. People with power are going to exert it, now, when this much is at play,” Budden began. From there, he brought up having some “tea.” “I’m hearing that there was an event where something happened backstage,” he added, before saying it was “too hot” to go into further detail. “But something happened backstage at one of them shows.”

From there, Budden complained about the overall reaction to the NFL selecting Lamar. “I’m upset that we announced a Black hip-hop halftime performer and we just muddy the water with who we think should’ve been, or who y’all think should’ve been the Black performer,” he added, before targeting young hip-hop fans. “Y’all wasn’t even alive for the hundred years of Kid Rock, and Guns & Roses, and Bruce Springsteen.”
