Joe Budden gives his view on the rift between Drake and Childish Gambino.
Drake and Childish Gambino’s beef is something no one saw coming, and now Joe Budden also gives his opinion on the rift between the two rappers. During a recent episode of his Joe Budden show, the rapper turned podcast host states that Drake would wash Donal Glover on any field of entertainment.
“If those two have a parody-off, now I’m in. If they have a skit-off… ’cause they both are talented in that regard,” he said. “Drake will smoke that ni**a’s boots. Drake will smoke that ni**a’s f**king muffin.”
He added, “Watch when he hosted the ESPYs. Watch his appearance on SNL. Watch his appearance in the Lil Dicky sh*t. The Chris Brown video.”
Just recently, Drizzy called Childish Gambino’s hit “This is America” overrated after it was revealed that it was originally a Drake diss. “The overrated and overawarded hit song “This Is America” was originally a Drake diss record,” a message reads during Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” tour concert.
The shots are in reference to Donald Glover revealing that his 2018 hit “This is America” was originally a Drizzy diss. “I had the idea three years before,” he explained. “I told [director] Hiro [Murai] the idea, and he’s like, ‘I really want to do that.’ The idea for the song started as a joke. To be completely honest, ‘This is America’ — that was all we had was that line.” “It started as a Drake diss, to be honest, as like a funny way of doing it. But then I was like, this sh*t sounds kind of hard though. So I was like, let me play with it.”
Ebro Darden also talked about Drake trashing Childish Gambino’s “This is America”, and stated that the Toronto rapper never said anything about Black Issues. “Drake said that the song was overrated, a song that takes a position of social commentary with imagery and everything like that song did, I don’t know if you could say it’s overrated and overawarded,” said Ebro. “It was [song] important at the time and it made people feel something about social commentary and obiously I’m biased because I like when an artist can do that.”
“I don’t know how I feel about Drake, who has never shown up, and y’all know I’m the biggest Drake fan on this show,” Darden continued. “Drake has never shown up to have anything to say about anything going on in society with Black folks or anything other than himself.”
