Drake Calls Joe Budden a Failure in Lengthy Instagram Post
Birdman's message to Joe Budden comes after Drake went off on the podcaster via DJ Akademiks' Instagram page. The OVO Sound leader commented under a reshared clip of Joe criticizing his album, For All the Dogs, on a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast. In the clip, Joe said he didn't like Drake's rapping and suggested that he hang out with people his own age.
"He rappin' for the children," he said, later adding,"I want to hear adult Drake rapping for adult people. He's rapping for the kids, the streams, the accolades. He ain't trying to rap for me. I can accept that."
Drake didn't mince words in his long and angry post to Joe in the comment section of AK's post. The Canadian rap superstar typed that Joe Budden had failed at music and had to make a career switch to become successful. Drake also advised other artists not to listen to the former wordsmith's advice because he's "the poster child of frustration and surrendering."
