Dennis Graham, Drake’s father, criticized Joe Budden for his freakout regarding the Canadian rapper’s legal dispute with longtime label Universal Music Group.
In the harsh political rant, Budden expressed his feelings about Drizzy, and Graham appeared on Instagram to stand up for his son.
“Stand down now!!!!” the 70-year-old former musician wrote in a comment. The rapper-turned-podcaster was then given another warning, saying, “Joe needs to back the fuck off, this has nothing to do with him, period.”
In the most recent episode of his own podcast, Joe Budden launched into a ferocious tirade about Drake and his legal dispute with UMG.
“Or he’s a selfish, lying, manipulative sack of shit who has made enemies for 15 years, and now we’re here at the fucking boiling point,” he said after referring to the six gods. You’ve been acting like the biggest jerk you can be behind the scenes.
Moreover, he is Jewish and fucking white, and he had too much dip on his chip. You have been sending money to n-ggas’ baby moms, hitting them behind the scenes, and messaging this n-gga’swife. Additionally, Budden seemed to suggest that Drake’s insensitive remarks regarding Metro Boomin’s mother’s passing may have contributed to their falling out, something Metro has remained silent about.
“[You’ve been] babbling about, ‘This n-gga’smotherpast away, but where am I, n-gga? “I don’t care that your mother passed away,” he asserted.
“Dawg, this n-gga has been a pit of shit behind the scenes, and everyone just ignores it because he has fans and Lucian [Grainge, CEO of UMG].” The days of blindness are over.
Drake filed two lawsuits against UMG earlier this week, alleging that the music behemoth engaged in payola and used streaming bots to artificially increase the popularity of Kendrick Lamar’s popular diss track, “Not Like Us.”
In addition to requesting additional information before a lawsuit is brought, the petitions allege that UMG defamed him by releasing the song, which calls Drizzy a pedophile.
In a statement, UMG refuted the allegations, stating: “It is offensive and false to assume that UMG would stop at nothing to discredit any of its artists. Our marketing and promotional campaigns utilize the most ethical practices.
“The fact that fans select the music they want to hear cannot be covered up by any number of made up and ridiculous legal arguments in this pre-action submission.”
Kendrick has not yet responded, nor have other parties like Spotify and iHeartMedia that were mentioned in the filings.
