Joe Budden is known for being critical of rappers on his popular eponymous podcast, and his latest remarks will likely raise a few eyebrows.

On the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, which debuted on Monday (Dec. 23), the topic of A$AP Rocky and Sweden came up. When co-host Mal suggested that Rocky’s 2018 album, Testing, was not talked about as much due to the Drake and Pusha-T beef that popped up at the same time of its release, Joe vehemently disagreed.

Although he acknowledged that Rocky is famous in hip-hop, Joe said the Harlem rapper is not a star in music. "He's not a star in music," he said. "He's a star in this culture, a bright one, a big one."

Mal continued to suggest that Rocky is a music star with Joe and co-host Rory disagreeing with him. Mal then asked Joe, "If Rocky announced a show at [New York's] Madison Square Garden he couldn't sell it out?" Joe quickly rejected his question. "What are you saying right now?" he inquisitively replied back.

This isn't the first time Joe sparked a debate over his controversial remarks. Back in October, the New Jersey native raised some eyebrows after calling Logic a terrible rapper. Prior to that, Joe butted heads with Nicki Minaj over his past remarks he made about her on his podcast.
