So Drake just let it lie and didn’t say anything else? ” Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg simply tweeted: “Slow news day I see.”Īs for Drake, well he cooly responded with one of his own lyrics in an Instagram post. Drake got too much respect for all that…” he tweeted, beforeĪdding : “Facts we was joking…Talked about in jest & fools jumped out the window. “It was such a joke and people ran with it… Slow news day. Oh yeah, Ebro was very swift in making sure people knew he was just messing. Surely Ebro would want to quickly clarify this rumour he’d just started? Hollywood Life called upon all their reliable sources close to each camp and gave us lines about Shady taking the whole rap battle seriously and Rihanna being worried about which side she’d have to pick. Naturally, within minutes the whole of the internet was anticipating a blockbuster rap feud. And if he did, I got something for him, too.'” He was like, ‘That’s not gonna happen.’ He’s like, ‘He’d never do that. “I told Drake that I heard the rumour was Eminem was going to gear up to come after him,” he explained. His apparent involvement stems from elsewhere.Įssentially, Ebro Darden – a radio host on Hot 97 – revealed to his listeners that he was recently speaking to Drake about a rumour that Eminem was preparing to weigh in on this feud. Saying that though, Slim has shown no signs of getting involved in this particular beef. Okay, so Joe Budden is a member of rap group Slaughterhouse and he’s also signed to Eminem’s record label. Then Budden released four diss tracks but no-one really batted an eye-lid, let alone Drizzy.īut Joe Budden isn’t Eminem, so why has Slim Shady got involved? Budden did the unthinkable and criticised Drake’s chart-topping album Views on a podcast (gasp!), and the Canadian star responded with a few on-stage mentions as well as some direct messages on social media. Basically, Drake and New Jersey rapper Joe Budden have thrown a few jabs over the past month or so. Well, first off let’s make this clear: this is how the rumour started, not the actual feud. How did this ‘feud’ between Drake and Eminem start then? Have Drake and Eminem really fallen out? Digital Spy has put together an explainer to get to the truth behind all the hyperbole. It’s 2016 and so by now you should be more than aware of how a simple comment can snowball into a ‘reported’ feud, with numerous sources, insiders and any number of social media opinions helping fuel the fire. But on the chance that Ebro knows what he’s talking about, we’re facing the largest rap beef in well over a decade.Roll up, roll up: it’s the most ferocious fallout in rap history. This might all just be smoke: Ebro’s track record with regard to truth in rumors is mixed.

And if he did, I got something for him, too.’”
New York hip-hop commentator Ebro let slip on his Hot 97 morning show that when he informed Drake that Eminem (Budden’s label boss) might be leaping into the fray to protect his vassal, Toronto’s biggest star responded that, rumor or not, he was prepared: “I told Drake that I heard the rumor was Eminem was going to gear up to come after him. ( Details can be found here.) All in all, it’s been a rather insubstantial beef so far: Drake’s status is never going to be threatened by a figure as obscure as Budden, even if Budden’s disses hit home.īut now Drake may have found an opponent in the same weight class. Meanwhile, Budden’s released four diss tracks. Drake’s sent out a few subliminals on a record a few direct shots on the concert stage a few bitter, angry DMs to Budden on Instagram and a few stans to Budden’s house. Yet, for the past month he’s been engaged in a feud with Joe Budden, a veteran emcee from New Jersey who dared to criticize Drake’s Views on a podcast. We regret the error.Īs all well know, Drake is a super-successful artist who doesn’t have to answer challenges from artists who are not also super-successful.
EMINEM JOE BUDDEN FEUD UPDATE
Update (August 5, 9:15 a.m.): Ebro has admitted he made the whole thing up, so Drake and Eminem will probably not be going at it any time soon.
