In response to criticism from Joe Budden regarding his latest album “For All The Dogs,” Drake has engaged in a public exchange with the podcast host and former rapper.
The exchange began when Budden shared his thoughts on Drake’s new album during a recent episode of his podcast.
Budden expressed his opinion that Drake’s music was aimed at a younger audience, stating, “[Drake is] rapping for the children.” He went on to remark about Drake’s age, suggesting that at 37 years old, he should distance himself from younger artists and romantic entanglements with younger individuals. Budden also drew comparisons between Drake’s career trajectory and that of fellow rapper J. Cole, expressing a desire to hear more mature content from Drake.
Drake responded to Budden’s critique with a lengthy social media post, asserting that Budden had “failed at music” and had transitioned to broadcasting because it was more financially viable. Drake criticized Budden’s past financial struggles and the limited success of his music career, contrasting it with his own achievements. He encouraged other artists not to be discouraged by such opinions, characterizing Budden as a symbol of frustration and surrender.
Drake concluded his response by highlighting the stark contrast in their lifestyles, emphasizing his ownership of a private jet and alluding to Budden’s residence in New Jersey. Budden responded to Drake’s comments with a reminder that maturity comes with time, emphasizing that “Father time is undefeated.”
The exchange between Drake and Budden has garnered attention on social media and within the hip-hop community, with fans and fellow artists weighing in on the feud, and a lot of mixed opinions being thrown into to the mix.
