DDG took another dig at Joe Budden on a special Sunday night episode (October 6) of his ‘No Ordinary Podcast.’

As reported here, the rapper-social media star (born Darryl Dwayne Granberry Jr.) slammed Budden the day prior once he learned rapper/reality star/podcaster donned him a “clout chaser” and asserted he’s using his highly publicized breakup with actress-singer Halle Bailey for publicity.

Once word landed on Granberry’s desk, he originally clapped back by calling the 44-year-old an “old b*tch” and ridiculing the commercial performance of his music – namely the 2003 hit ‘Pump It Up.’

On Sunday night, he gave his first official statement on Budden’s attack. Hear it inside.

With Diddy at the center of debate after being hit with federal charges, his mother Janice Combs has spoken up and out.

In a statement issued moments ago, the 83-year-old stressed her belief in his “innocence” after he was formally indicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The Combs matriarch unpacks her frustration with the “lies” leveled against the embattled mogul and insists that his disproven claim of never being physical with Cassie does not automatically make him guilty of the criminal and growing list of civil cases mounted against him.

She pleaded, adding: “my son is not the monster they have painted him to be.”

DaBaby once looked to have the world at his feet.

Indeed, the rapper paired inescapable anthems with an omnipresence on the live circuit.

However, it was the latter that ground his ascend to an abrupt half after the star made homophobic remarks while performing at Rolling Loud Miami in 2021.

A blazing backlash from fans, fellow artists, and brands followed, which was only intensified by the MC’s seeming reluctance to acknowledge the severity of his statements. Apologies materialized, but, for many, it was deemed too little too late.

Now, as he attempts to navigate his way back to the upper reach of the charts with his new project ‘How TF Is This A Mixtape?,’ he’s addressing the drama. And he’s claiming that “somebody pressed a button.”
