In a recent turn of events on social media, rapper DDG took to X (formerly Twitter) to clap back at podcaster Joe Budden after Budden made disparaging comments regarding DDG’s breakup with actress Halle Bailey. The drama unfolded when Budden expressed relief over the split, arguing that it meant he would no longer have to hear about DDG, whom he criticized for not having a clear identity or a substantial career on his own.
Budden’s comments, shared during an episode of his podcast, sparked immediate reactions. He sarcastically noted, “They’ve broken up, so I don’t get to keep seeing this n-gga’s name attached to this girl’s name,” implying that DDG was riding on Halle’s coattails for publicity. He further emphasized his ignorance of DDG outside of his association with Bailey, stating that he wanted to judge artists based on their own merits—even mentioning that he thought DDG was merely “a clout chaser.”
DDG wasted no time in retaliating. Following Budden’s remarks, he fired off a tweet that skewered Budden for both his age and past musical accomplishments. He referenced Budden’s single “Pump It Up,” which took a staggering 20 years to attain gold status and quipped, “I’m on u,” suggesting that Budden’s glory days are long behind him.
In a colorful display of his disdain, DDG also addressed the generational gap in their commentary, pointing out the absurdity of an older man commenting on a relationship between people closer in age to his own son. He went all out by sarcastically wishing Budden to forget his magnesium pills, implying that Budden should focus more on his own life and less on others’.
The entire exchange epitomizes the often tumultuous and unpredictable nature of celebrity interactions, especially on platforms like X where every opinion is public and reactions can be swift. DDG’s pointed responses not only highlight the contrast in how he and Budden view the relationship but also underscore a larger dialogue about age, relevance, and the sometimes blurred lines between personal and professional lives in the entertainment industry.
DDG confirmed the breakup earlier this week, though rumors had circulated for months leading up to his announcement. While he doesn’t seem to mind the chatter coming from female audiences, he firmly supports the notion that men should refrain from involving themselves in discussions about his relationships.
As the ongoing saga between DDG and Joe Budden unfolds, it’s clear that both sides have strong opinions, and fans are eagerly watching to see what comes next. With the dynamic between these two personalities heating up, one can only anticipate more social media fireworks in the days ahead.
