Last year, The Breakfast Club co-host commented “[Joe Budden] knows his worth but doesn’t know how to properly negotiate it,” which sparked a contentious back-and-forth between the two media personalities. Although the dust had seemingly settled, Budden revisited the topic following Charlamagne’s Kwame Brown controversy earlier this week.
“I got on Charlamagne because he appeared to go out of his way to devalue me,” Budden says at the 47:20 minute-mark of the episode. “One of the most prominent voices in this media thing that one instance it appeared I was down used all of his platforms and all of his might to continue to push the narrative that ‘Joe fucked it up.’”

Joe Budden has issued an apology after host
Olivia Dope accused the media personality of sexual harassment during an episode of the
See the Thing Is… podcast.
In a 26-minute Instagram video Monday, Pope explained why she left the podcast she hosted with
Mandii B and former
Bridget Kelly, under the Joe Budden Network, which launched last October.
“On January 18, 2021, Joe Budden sat in on a recording of the female-led podcast I was a part of and continuously made sexual, suggestive remarks to me that made me extremely uncomfortable as well as fearful of dampening the mood if I didn’t laugh along while he made those sexual remarks to me,” Dope explained. “Those moments not only live on the internet forever, but it also forced me into the decision of quitting the podcast.”
