Joe Budden recently talked about the huge breakup with podcast cohosts Rory and Mal.
Budden recently appeared on I AM ATHLETE where he was asked about the split.
“Some of that communication fades, with that, trust fades,” Budden said. “Some other things start to fade. You watch a friendship deteriorate, but now, you at work. Again, this is in real-time. So, to answer your question, though, if none of that existed, sky was the limit. We were—you hear the stories about Kobe and Shaq…same sh-t.”
Rory then headed to the The Juan EP Is Life podcast to address Budden’s comments.
“I was kind of over the entire thing. I was very angry in the beginning. Don’t get me wrong. I was very f-cking angry. I was hurt. I was fucked up. Yeah, it was a really sh-tty time in my life, personally and just business, ’cause again, how you’re saying something you’ve built and it’s the biggest thing ever … it’s what I knew for almost seven years that stopped in a day. It was definitely f-cked up. Obviously, there was a personal level to the whole thing,” he said of the split.
Budden fired Rory during a podcast episode last year. But Rory says Budden’s latest press run is rehashing his angry memories.
“But, I did start to get over it. I can’t lie. When he did the press run with the DZA, Math thing, I kinda got re-pissed off. It re-pissed me off. Of course, I’m never telling somebody they’re not allowed to talk about an experience they were involved with. I’m not mad at him doing press runs or anything, just the things he said in it, I know he knows are completely untrue. It just pissed me off again when I was getting to a place where I was kind of over the shit; was in a place where like I don’t really hate this person anymore. We’re still on this? And your story is changing? Like, what is going on here? But, I mean, it is what it is at this point. I really don’t hold crazy resentments. I do wish everybody the best.”
