Cole’s Kendrick Lamar Apology"},"content":{"rendered":"
Joe Budden and Skillz have gotten into a heated argument over J. Cole apologizing to Kendrick Lamar for dissing him.<\/p>\n

The issue started when Budden posted on X (formerly Twitter<\/a>) that the \u201cstreets need a body,\u201d expressing his disapp<\/a>roval over Cole extending an olive branch to his rap rival.<\/p>\n

Taking a swipe at the former Slaughterhouse MC, who retired from music in 2018, Skillz replied with: \u201cWild take coming from a rapper who never caught one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Things escalated from there with Budden hitting back: \u201cNow Skillz\u2026\u2026 there is NO LIVING BREATHING person that has you as a better MC than me. & YOU can\u2019t career shame a mosquito with a mixtape. And the one time a year ppl wanted to hear from you got stolen from you. Go be with your family.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skillz, also known for his Hip Hop Confessions<\/em> podcast, retorted: \u201cNow Joseph? I have never been punched in the face for any sub par bars either. You have taken more RAP\/LIFE L\u2019s than any rapper from Jersey. Go be Wendy Williams bro.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Virginia native also mocked Budden over his pivot from rapping to podcasting: \u201cAnd if YOU WERE SUCH AN AMAZING RAPPER in your PRIME? Why you become a podcaster?!? You cant ever talk bars with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skillz also exchanged barbs with Joe Budden\u2019s podcast co-host Officially Ice, who labeled him a hypocrite for also having a podcast.<\/p>\n

The From Where???<\/em> MC fired back: \u201cICE? Find me one ep where Im talkin about current gossip\u2026 i talk hip hop on my pod\u2026thats it. You think I care about what sexxy redd wore last week??\u201d<\/p>\n

Ice responded: \u201cBro I\u2019m just saying. You said son became a podcaster\u2026as a podcaster. And if we keeping it a buck, ya description says u have folks come on to confess their secrets\u2026know who does that? Gossip shows lol.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skillz then defended his podcast, saying: \u201cI feel u ice respectfully but \u2026.you keep bypassing the word HIP HOP tho [crying face emojis] ..thats what my ish is about. Not what yall do.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Joe Budden Podcast<\/em> personality then pointed out: \u201cI\u2019m really not. Go back and look at what I initially replied to. The words \u2018hip-hop\u2019 were nowhere in that tweet. You moved the goalpost afterwards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Things settled down when Skillz said: \u201cTouche I did,\u201d to which Ice responded with salute and handshake emojis.<\/p>\n

Skillz also found time to take a shot at Uncle Murda after an X user claimed the former G-Unit rapper had upstaged him regarding his annual \u201cRap Up\u201d song series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAnd yall can miss wit that rap up talk when I was just on BET last year doing it for the culture. And I aint heard from lil buddy since this happened,\u201d linking to his Uncle Murda diss song \u201cMurda Gram.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

He added: \u201cYou out yo mind if you thought he could out bar me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Budden and Skillz are from the only figures to have weighed in on J. Cole\u2019s controversial apology to Kendrick Lamar, which came after they traded shots on \u201cLike That\u201d and \u201c7 Minute Drill.\u201d<\/p>\n

50 Cent, who is no stranger to rap beef himself, appeared to be unimpressed by Cole backing down and publicly reached out to the Dreamville rapper.<\/p>\n

Alongside a screenshot of the North Carolina native\u2019s comments, 50 wrote on Instagram: \u201cWTF how I miss this, @realcoleworld call my phone [phone emoji] right now!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
