In a fiery exchange earlier this week, Cardi B took to Twitter Spaces to call out Joe Budden, accusing him of constantly trashing her work and urging him to leave her alone. Budden quickly responded on social media, denying various allegations and insisting that he never meant to offend her. However, he didn’t stop there and decided to address the issue more deeply on his podcast.
Joe Budden released a new episode of his podcast earlier today where he apologized to Cardi B. While he didn’t agree with all her accusations, he took responsibility for upsetting her. Budden also mentioned that he would continue discussing her in the future, despite promising to refrain from it. He said, ‘I’m not willing to let people suppress my voice.’
Cardi B then responded to Budden’s apology on social media, indicating that she might be ready to move past the issue. She posted, ‘I got love for you too Joe but you been changing your tone on me real heavy the last 3 years whether music or personal.’ She also addressed a specific instance when he commented on her marriage problems, stating, ‘Like when I was going through real sh*t with my marriage in December you went on ya platform and tried to make that about somebody else and what they got going on. I know criticism comes with the territory but sometimes the narrative y’all decide to go with be soooo toxic. It’s all love tho see you soon.’
Based on Cardi’s post, it seems she might be willing to put the past behind her, though it’s uncertain if Budden plans to change his approach. This back-and-forth has definitely caught fans’ attention and they’re eager to see what happens next.
It remains to be seen whether this public exchange truly settles the spat between Cardi B and Joe Budden for good. For now, it appears there’s mutual respect, even if there are lingering grievances. Fans will be keeping a close eye on their next moves.
