Joe Budden is feeling the burn from Megan Thee Stallion‘s Hotties after making less than endorsing remarks about the femcee.
Full story below…
Speaking on his online show, the rapper-turned podcaster first began by stating “Cardi B is a superstar” before launching into an altogether different take on her ‘WAP’ collaborator.
He began:
“You’re not a superstar if you can’t sell an album. What the f*ck are we talking about right now? What stops her from being a superstar if we’re taking out sales? She ain’t sold sh*t. Got every brand deal in the world, but also has all the backing from different people. She’s got a lot going on. That’s the game today.”
Budden added:
“Y’all are just mixing rules up. You still got to know how to sell a f*cking album. When Adele come out, you gotta move. When n*ggas come out, you gotta move. When a superstar comes out, you mortal, mere minion n*ggas have to move. Nobody does that for Lil Nas X, nobody does that for the seven Meg Thee Stallion releases that dropped over the past two years. What are we saying?”
Needless to say, the Hotties were not impressed.
Flooding social media, here’s just a few of the spirited responses:
Why should we give AF what Joe Budden says about Megan when he friends with her abuser? Also don’t get me started his own abusive history cause…

With that, what are…
![Chart Check [Hot 100]: GloRilla & Megan Thee Stallion's 'Wanna Be' is the Week's Top-Selling Song, Marking Glo's BIGGEST First-Week Sales To Date](https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/glorilla-megan-thee-stallion-wanna-be-tgj-1-464x260.jpeg "Chart Check [Hot 100]: GloRilla & Megan Thee Stallion's 'Wanna Be' is the Week's Top-Selling Song, Marking Glo's BIGGEST First-Week Sales To Date.")
Facts. Her and normani can’t sell nothing but hot sauce and chicken wings
He don’t know 100% how many records Megan has sold. To date.
Good News BARELY scrapped 100k first week after being shot, a #1 single with Beyonce and endless promo. Her last “ep” flopped. She’s no Cardi indeed.
After being shot. Repeat After being shot Megan cancelled a lot of her shows too after being shot. But she is not a flop.
She was drinking, partying and twerking on a yacht after being shot. That scandal was huge and still didn’t translate into sales.
you can tell he’s pressed cause he’s thinking he could pull the same type of numbers the streaming era artists pull… newsflash Joe no one cares that you’re butthurt over Megan and LNX being Grammy winners chart toppers and all that you’re not
Agree she always got a new corporate fesl yet wap is her biggest song she’s overrated
Deals
7 release in 2 years 😂😂😂 glad someone calling her out roc payola did nothing for them sales 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where’s the lie? Having a million endorsements and saying “Ahhh” doesn’t make you a superstar
Joe butthead hating on Megan cause he has baby with non black girl.
To an extent, I agree w/ Joe but Cardi is NOT a superstar either. She hasn’t been out long enough & proven she’s able to evolve & adapt as an artist.
The bar has been set very low if we’re calling Cardi B a Superstar. Joe has enjoyed bare minimum success in Hip-Hop & Podcast.
He should keep in mind, ppl only care about him when he’s speaking on popular celebrities otherwise he’s a huge non-factor in Hip-Hop. He’s not invited to perform anywhere, no one has ever said Joe is Top 10 OR Joe has inspired me to be an artist, lol
It’s always the D-list celebrities whom are the most overly critical. Joe, Azalea Banks & that Wack 100 ho.
Speaking facts. Cardi is making moves but calling someone a superstar is like calling someone legendary which Cardi is not. Cardi wireless tickets are still on sale BTW.
She has 2 dates making 2 million per date tickets almost sold out keep hating
Well you said it yourself at ” almost”… Almost and Superstar do not coexist. FYI I do not hate Cardi but let’s not exaggerate. We can all create gangnam style and get a hit everytime. That’s Cardi!!
I disagree. You can become a superstar after one release if it’s successful enough, it’s all about he impact, that’s why one hit wonders exists.
Gaga was catapulted into stardom after one release, and so was Lil Kim.
Lauryn hill has been touring on one album and a few Fugees hits for over a decade.
But the artists you’ve mentioned are NOT in the same league as Michael, Whitney, Madonna, Usher, Celine, Jay-Z, etc.
They set the standards for MAINSTREAM Music, can still draw in MASSIVE crowds decades later, has multiple charting hits, MASSIVE albums sales, has inspired artists to follow in their foot steps due to their net worth/Global impact.
There are layers to to this sh*t. Calling Cardi B a Superstar is saying she’s within’ the same league as artists mention above & share most of their achievements. Cardi B & Offset can’t even replicate the power couple. So she’s NOT even seeing Beyonce/Jay-z
And that’s point. As a Superstar, you’re raising the stakes & setting the bar higher.
She became an alcoholic cause she sacrificed her own mom and she lied on Tory and was awarded 3 Grammies for doing what she did then as she was told. An artist winning 3 Grammies then nit selling records just don’t mix. Now she’s doing commercials and getting into acting . Cancelling cause she lied and fans now it and not Che king for her. She sound the same and rap about the same stuff. Fans get tired that’s why everyone lives doja cat. She don’t have to mention her p in every song several times or twerk 2 mins out of a 3 min record. Cardi can’t sell eitha if y’all seen the blogs. Nicki sold out in minutes .
Cardi has 2 dates so naturally it’s not as anticipated Nicki got 1 date so they probably rushed out to get tickets because it would b less chance to see her. Even if cardi don’t sell out which she will by July she still makes 4 million for the 2 dates so keep hating
MTS is nothing but eye candy and entertainment she’s not an artist. She brings nothing useful/positive to the culture especially with this fake ass woke feminism 😒 she dont tallk about s*** in her music but fuck1ng dudes for money and being cute look at my a$$ look at my t1ts. It’s ridiculous 🙄 can’t WAIT for this one to fade into the background.
