Looks like Cardi B caught wind of Joe Budden’s comments where he had some harsh things to say about her and Megan Thee Stallion’s new song, ‘Bongos.’
In a clip that is surfacing on X, Cardi B can be heard discussing Budden’s comments and shared how she felt about it. “I just feel like this guy has an issue with me and it’s beyond the critique of ‘Bongos.’ She then went on to bring up his former co-host, Rory and Mal who used to have things to say about Budden. “When Mal and Rory say f*ck sh*t about you or lies about you, you get so defensive and want to clear it up and you came at Taxtone because he said something about you and you wanted to clear it up. You want people to understand you want people to take your side.” Towards the end of the conversation she begins to speak on how Joe Budden went to interview Tasha K who spreader multiple lies about her in the media.
If your not familiar with Joe Budden’s recent critique on the song this is what went down. While discussing the song with his co-hosts, Budden let it be known that he feels like the song sounds like a “science project.” “Remember, I said all the top, top, top, top, artists make songs like a science project? That’s what this sounds like,” he shared. “This beat is undeniable because it’s already worked. We gonna put two of our biggest women rappers on it, talking they normal sh*t, but I don’t think this song is gonna work at all.”
He continued: “I hate the song. It’s not better than any of the songs like it. ‘WAP,’ ‘Up,’ it’s not better than Cardi B feature. This is Cardi getting ready to follow-up her debut album… They not gonna spend the money to keep this rolling into the fourth and first quarter. “The music business is reactionary. They’re gonna wait to see what the research is on this song… This record don’t seem like it has lasting power… There’s nothing in it to make it stay.”
Budden also said he believes the time for “commercialized ratchet” music has passed and it’s time for “ghetto ratchet” to shine, citing “Pound Town” hitmaker Sexy Red as a prime example. “We need a ‘Bodak Yellow’ now. This sounds like two women who can’t make a song,” Joe stated. “I don’t see it.”
Regardless of Joe’s comments “Bongos” is expected to make a splash on the Billboard Hot 100 next week after dropping on Friday (September 8).
