Joe Budden has harshly criticized Drake’s recent lawsuit against Universal Music Group (UMG), calling it a disgrace to hip-hop culture and predicting it could spell the end of the Canadian artist’s career.
On his podcast, Budden expressed deep disappointment in the state of Hip-Hop, particularly in light of Drake’s legal action. The rapper-turned-podcaster suggested that Drake’s lawsuit, which alleges UMG promoted Kendrick Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” containing false accusations, goes against the spirit of Hop-Hop. Elsewhere during the podcast, Joe Budden criticized Drake for “code-switching” between a tough guy persona and a victim mentality.
