Cardi B recently called out Joe Budden during an X Spaces session, accusing him of consistently criticizing her on his podcast without reason and even alleging drug use.

According to Cardi, she had given Budden lap dances twice at the New York strip club Starlets while he was allegedly “high as f–k on coke.” She expressed her disregard for criticism in general but singled out Budden for what she described as relentless attacks. She questioned why he constantly speaks negatively about her, suggesting it’s merely for attention or to cater to his audience.

The rapper further criticized Budden for frequently comparing her to other female artists in the industry, claiming he fails to support these artists in the same way. She emphasized her indifference towards these comparisons, asserting her confidence in her own accomplishments.

Additionally, Cardi addressed Budden’s speculation that her marital issues with Offset were staged publicity for her upcoming album, dismissing these claims outright.

The confrontation underscores ongoing tensions within the entertainment industry, highlighting the complexities of media commentary and public perception in the age of social media and podcasts.
