Joe Budden fired back at his former co-hosts, Rory and Mal, on the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, titled “To Whom It May Concern.” The pair had recently called Budden a “thief” and “cat burglar” after seeing Complex ranked him No. 1 on its “Hip Hop Media Power Ranking.”
“To whom this may concern,” Budden began. “This is not even on page one of the manual, ’cause you n****s ain’t in the bookstore. Instead of critiquing people’s placement on this list, we need more critiquing on why you’re not on it. To everyone not on it, shut the fuck up. There’s some steps that you n****s have missed. To whom it may concern, stop holding a microphone. I’m just giving out podcast advice. It’s certain n****s, y’all can’t speak to me, y’all didn’t do the work yet. You didn’t go to the bookstore.”

From there, he called out Rory and Mal for not doing enough to promote their own content, calling them “the bare minimum boys.” Budden added: “Hire the editors. Get people to help. Invest in the staff. Pay the staff. Get more staff. Stop check chasing. Stop doing the bare minimum and expecting that to yield results. You n****s are the bare minimum boys.” Rory and Mal left The Joe Budden Podcast back in 2021 after weeks of disputes with the former rapper. They’ve continued to express disdain for each other in public in the time since.
In an aggressive mood, Budden called out more than just Rory and Mal. He also targeted The Breakfast Club for having not been “impactful in years” and that its “rotating seat garbage isn’t working.” He elaborated: “It’s not about radio, they breaking up all that shit over there, and we [are] getting podcast advertising dollars which says it don’t matter how powerful that one show was at some point, if the company is going in a different direction, n****s gone look like they’re going in a different direction.”
