Cardi B Criticizes Joe Budden for Comments on Unreleased Album

Cardi B has reached her limit with Joe Budden.

During an X Spaces session on Thursday night, the rapper voiced her frustration, telling fans that the rapper-turned-podcast personality is “obsessed with criticizing me up and down.”

On a recent episode of his podcast released Thursday, Budden told his co-host, Trevor “Queenzflip” Robinson, “We’ll never get another album again. I am standing on it.” His co-host also alleged that he had heard rumors at Atlantic Records suggesting the company is determined to release a new album with or without Cardi on board.

Cardi addressed the comment during her live audio conversation, calling it a “lie” and adding that the record company wouldn’t be able to release her music without her permission. “I do not send my music to nobody. There’s only two people that have possession of my music, and that’s me and my engineer,” she stated.

“You’re not thirsty for my album. You thirsty to criticize it. You thirsty to kick it down… You never compliment me. When’s the last time you complimented me?” she continued.

The “Bongos” rapper also claimed that Budden has a habit of comparing her to other female rappers “every five or six months.”

“You compare females to me that my worst records beat their best records,” she said, adding that she’s focused on herself rather than on her peers’ work.

Cardi has been hinting at the release of her sophomore album, supposedly set for this year. Her debut album, “Invasion of Privacy,” which dropped in April 2018, won the Best Rap Album at the 2019 Grammys. While she has made several collaborations and released singles since then, a full-length project has yet to emerge.

In response, Budden took to X with a series of posts during Cardi’s live session. “I promise you and can assure you, I will not cover a single thing this girl does for the remainder of her career… Peace & love,” he wrote in one post.

“I really just wanted an album from someone whose music I love,” Budden expressed in another.

He later added, “She cursing me smooth out but she still hilarious lol…. I’m going to bed, I apologize to @iamcardib for whatever I did and peace and love to all.”
