Joe Budden is making headlines again as he boldly addresses the ongoing feud between DJ Akademiks and Charlamagne Tha God. In a recent episode of his podcast, Budden made it clear that he wants no part in the 𝒹𝓇𝒶𝓂𝒶, despite fans clamoring for his insights.
In episode 938, Budden channeled his inner Ray Charles, stating that he has no interest in dissecting the conflict between the two media personalities. While many listeners expected him to weigh in, Budden stood his ground, calling out Charlamagne for engaging in a feud with someone he considers “faceless.” This echoes Budden’s past criticism of Jay-Z for responding to perceived slights at the Roots Picnic, suggesting he believes Charlamagne should rise above the fray.
During the episode, Budden expressed frustration at the idea of spending his downtime discussing the beef, especially since he has a personal connection to both parties. He remarked, “I don’t want to cover a Charlamagne versus George Grand Wizard, whoever this loser is.” His comments were sharp, and he even threatened to call the police if Akademiks ever stepped foot on American soil, although he later clarified that he was joking.
The podcast took a deeper dive into the dynamics of the feud. Budden revealed that he had spoken with Akademiks, who insisted he has no beef with Charlamagne. Instead, the conflict seems to stem from a social media account run by someone named George, who allegedly believes Charlamagne is sending private investigators after him. Budden found the situation absurd, questioning why Charlamagne would engage with an anonymous figure from Australia.
Despite his reluctance to engage, Budden acknowledged the public nature of the dispute. He argued that Charlamagne’s platform is too significant to be addressing such matters publicly. “If you feel like someone is tweeting defamatory things, there are ways to handle it behind the scenes,” he noted, suggesting that public discussions could escalate tensions unnecessarily.
As the conversation unfolded, it became evident that Budden believes both Charlamagne and Akademiks are caught in a complicated web of social media 𝒹𝓇𝒶𝓂𝒶. He emphasized that the real issue lies with George and not with Akademiks, who seems to be in a challenging position, trying to mediate between the two.
Interestingly, Budden’s comments have sparked debate among fans. Some agree with his stance that Charlamagne should avoid engaging with lesser-known figures, while others feel that ignoring the situation could be seen as dodging conflict.
As this saga continues to unfold, the question remains: will Budden eventually take a side, or will he maintain his distance from this high-profile feud?
