Joe Budden Wants Drake to Go Directly at Jay-Z: ‘Bait Him, Let’s Have Some Fun’
The media personality is tired of the subliminals and wants them to speak to each other on wax directly.
Joe Budden proposes that Drake should challenge Jay-Z to a direct rap battle, rather than sending hidden messages back and forth. During an exclusive Patreon episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Budden urged Drake to "bait" Jay-Z into a confrontation. He pointed out that if rumors about Jay-Z releasing new music are true, it would mean that the rapper is ready and willing to respond.
Budden believes that a rap battle would change people's opinions about Jay-Z's lyrical skills. "If you want to get to talking tough about 'the pen isn't dry,' take the bait," he suggested, urging Drake to confront Jay-Z directly. While Drake and Jay-Z have exchanged shots at each other in the past, tensions rose when Drake dissed Jay on the track "Iceman," and Jay responded during his "Roots Picnic Freestyle." Recently, Roc Nation denied the rumors of a new Jay-Z album, calling them "fake news."
