Joe Budden Reacts To Rumours Of Drake Dissing Him On ICEMAN.
Joe Budden is already preparing for possible shots from Drake ahead of the release of his new album ICEMAN this Friday.
During a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, the rapper-turned-podcaster jokingly asked his co-hosts if they think Drake will mention him on the upcoming album. The response was immediate, with almost everyone on the podcast agreeing that Drake will probably throw a few shots his way. “Yes,” they said.
The moment quickly turned funny as the group started joking about what Drake could even rap about if he decided to diss Budden.
One topic that came up was Budden’s viral hallway incident from a while back. Fans may remember when Joe was accused of walking around naked in his apartment hallway, leading to court drama after a neighbor’s Ring camera footage became part of the story. Budden’s fellow crew also joked that Drake could make a song called “6 AM In New Jersey” or even “Naked In The Hallway” if he really wanted to troll Budden on the album.

Drizzy and Joe Budden have had a complicated relationship for years. Back in the early 2010s, Drake showed respect to Budden and even praised his music. However, things changed around the release of Drake’s 2016 album Views.
Budden became one of Drake’s biggest critics and released multiple diss tracks aimed at him. Since then, the two have traded subliminal shots online and in interviews over the years.

Now, with ICEMAN dropping on May 15, fans are expecting Drake to address several people on the project. Rumors are already spreading online about dissing at artists like ASAP Rocky and DJ Khaled as well. During a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne claimed that Drizzy will be taking direct shots at both ASAP Rocky and DJ Khaled on the project.
“Khaled you need to be on edge too, you and A$AP Rocky, y’all getting direct shots on the project,” Charlamagne said during the episode. He also joked that Khaled “might’ve wanted to keep some of that weight on.”
Even with the release only few days away, Drizzy has still not revealed the album cover, tracklist, or any official singles. That mystery has only made fans even more excited for the project.
