Joe Budden is not holding back.
Earlier this week, Joe Budden received a gold plaque from the RIAA for his 2003 single, “Pump It Up.” While the feat is certainly one to celebrate, despite arriving 21 years after the track’s release, Yung Miami didn’t think so. She took to X to issue a shady response to the news, making it clear that she was not impressed.
Yung Miami reacted with a simple series of laughing emojis. Instead of engaging right away, Budden decided to bow out altogether. “It would be too easy,” he wrote. “Maybe tmw lol.” She then called him a bully, slamming him for laughing at other people’s accomplishments and suggesting she was giving him a taste of his own medicine.

Now, however, he’s responded directly to the shade during an episode of his podcast. In a clip from the episode, he clarified that he doesn’t plan to disrespect Yung Miami or call her out her name, instead choosing to keep things professional. He went on to rip her career to shreds, claiming that on a list of the best female rappers, she would be “dead last.” Budden added that he didn’t expect Yung Miami to go after him like this, particularly considering issues with her label she admitted to on Caresha Please.
In the explosive season 2 premiere of her podcast, she revealed that her label told her they haven’t been seeing enough growth from her as an artist, which explains why she hasn’t put more music out. What do you think of Yung Miami clowning Joe Budden because his 2003 single just went gold? What about him dissing her in response? Who do you think is in the right?
