“F*ck that n***a man,” Budden began. “I watched you all year long and I don’t even report on none of that sh*t, but I watched you all year long invite 90 people down to the junkyard, fight them one by one for 90 seconds on some He-Man sh*t, with all this ‘alpha male’ bullsh*t for you to go in there and get beat the f*ck up like that. Get the f*ck outta here. I ain’t rolling with this statistician sh*t that they on. Do you know how tough that n***a was running around, acting fighting the mailmen? Do you know how macho he looked fighting the local bail bondsmen? … F*cking Andrew Tate. I had a blast watching him get beat the f*ck up.”

Andrew Tate’s Boxing Loss

While Tate has yet to respond to Joe Budden’s criticism, he did address the backlash he’s received online during a livestream on December 22. “I’m not afraid to be laughed at, and I’m not afraid to get f****** hurt,” Tate said, as caught by Sports Illustrated. “Everyone with an opinion is on the sidelines. Imagine living a life where you’re so afraid of loss that you never get to win. You sit in the corner as a coward, writing Twitter comments that people who take risks you will not take, as an insignificant unknown, a nobody… What kind of f****** man does that make you? It makes you the kind of man that is forgotten to history.”

Andrew Tate isn’t the only person Joe Budden criticized during the podcast. He also went off on Nicki Minaj for joining Erika Kirk on stage at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest on Sunday. He labeled the move “very anti-Black” and said he’s done with her.

The release was a way to celebrate him leaving prison after a three-year stint behind bars. He pleaded guilty in 2022 to conspiring to possess firearms in furtherance of crimes of violence and drug trafficking. Pooh was indicted back in 2021 for a shooting incident in Bay Harbor Islands, Florida.

He got out earlier than expected, coming home in early October instead of sometime within the first third of 2026.

While fans have been loving the track on its own, it’s been getting people’s attention for its wild bar about the aforementioned Bronny James. “See, my daddy my first co-D, jumped in the streets, he showed me lanes (Them facts) / Your daddy a killer, but you ain’t, you just like Bronny James (Facts).”

It was an unexpected and cruel stray for the son of LeBron James, especially since he’s already struggling to find his footing in the NBA.

Is Pooh Shiesty Working On An Album?

As a result, fans have taken this bar and ran with it, and it’s led to creations like this one above. Caught by Live Bitez, the AI clip shows Pooh Shiesty in a huddle with Lakers players, including Bronny. The latter is trying to get his teammates ready to go.

But the “Back in Blood” hitmaker isn’t about all that team chemistry and decides to body slam Bronny onto the basketball court. The impact is so bad that it creates a massive crater in the floor.

Making it even funnier is Pooh who reacted just like we did when saw this. “The f*ck is going on?” he asks. However, he then roots himself on as he beats down the young NBA player. “Come here little a*s n****! Get yo b*tch a*s off me!” he says. He captioned the video on his IG Story writing, “Ai outta control [two laughing emojis].”

But as for the song itself, it immediately begs the question: Is Pooh working on a new project? For the time being, we don’t have any confirmation that he is. But given how long it’s been since Shiesty Season, we have to imagine he’s in the studio constantly.

“I’m out. I’m done. That was it. Sorry, I’m gone,” he said. “That was the last candle on the cake for me. Sorry Barbz, sorry Nicki. Don’t call me. Don’t text me. It is what it is. Sometimes, how you move around out there does have an effect on how I view you. This was one of them things. I’d be a fool to think that you didn’t consider that before you did it, which just says to me that you don’t really give a f*ck.”

After going on to criticize her for espousing anti-LGBTQ+ talking points, Joe Budden added that the entire ordeal was “very anti-Black” of her. “Didn’t see ‘All little girls matter?’ It was a hot mess on that stage,” he added. “There’s no way to sugarcoat it. I’m done. I’m off… An ounce of Black is Black enough for me. So, when you stand next to people that have made their agendas very clear as it pertains to Black people, then that means you’re complicit… It’s hurtful when people take all of that equity built in Black sh*t and do that with it.”

Nicki Minaj’s Political Beliefs

At AmericaFest, Nicki Minaj spoke with Erika Kirk about numerous political topics and reaffirmed her support for Donald Trump. She said that he “has given so many people hope that there’s a chance to beat the bad guys and to win and to do it with your head held high,” as caught by The New York Post. Additionally, she complained about California Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Later in the night, Vice President JD Vance used her remarks to further his anti-DEI messaging. “Unlike the left, we stand against treating anybody, and I love what Nicki said about this. We don’t treat anybody different because of their race or their sex,” he said on the stage. “So we have relegated DEI to the dustbin of history, which is exactly where it belongs. In the United States of America, you don’t have to apologize for being white anymore.”

But with each passing day, things continue to grow nastier and nastier. Yesterday, Akademiks went berserk on Ebro and his co-host, Peter Rosenberg, for talking down on Charlamagne tha God and his new contract. In the last few days, the hip-hop media titan inked a flashy, five-year, $200 million deal with iHeartMedia.

It allows him to remain on The Breakfast Club and continue to grow his Black Effect podcast network.

Ebro in particular had a lot to say about the news, stating he would essentially never be a sellout to chase the money. “There were things that Charlamagne was willing to do that I would’ve never done. Never. And that’s how you get to those big bags. It’s the same with Stephen A. Smith. When Disney wants to give you money like that, you gotta do a dance I ain’t willing to do,” he said on The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show.

This made its way over to DJ Akademiks and his second social media page, Akademiks TV.

What Happened To Ebro In The Morning?

“Akademiks violates two washed lazy untalented bums Ebum & Rosencuck for hating on Charlamagne getting a $200M deal,” Ak’s other account captions the clip of him blasting the two men. “Mind you, these are the same r**ards who said they got fired cuz they hate Trump & Israel [loudly crying emoji].”

In the reaction video, Akademiks labels Ebro and Peter “lazy” for dragging people who are “putting the work in.” He also says they have been doing stuff like this their entire careers and calls them out for not getting into a studio when they are trying to rebrand.

But instead of giving Ak a fiery rant in response, Ebro kept things short and sweet. He wrote back on Twitter to the clip, taunting him for giving him “promo.” “Promo from a Trump supporter, thanks,” he quipped.

We have a feeling this feud is going to go on for a long time.

It’s going to be interesting to see how Ebro, Peter, and Laura Stylez continue to work their way back following radio show’s cancelation. It’s been two weeks exactly since Ebro In The Morning was shut down by Hot 97.

Reasons for it ending are still pretty unknown, although Ebro has presented his theory as to why already.

In the clip, Choppa can be seen hanging out of the window of a car that is driving away while Ben 10 records him. Afterward, Choppa hopped on social media to provide some context to the altercation. “What type of gangsta pull up on a man, say they gonna do something do a man, and pull out they phone?” he asked in a video post. “… What y’all wanna do? Why y’all keep staring at me? I’m standing here right in the parking lot… I had two n****s on the frontline that would’ve laid y’all down. If you gonna post something, post that. Pull the surveillance footage up. I was standing there…You n****s ain’t do sh*t to me.”

OG 33, who was also present, responded to the story with a video of his own. “You all on these cameras and then you wait until you pull off to pull out a little baby toy and say, ‘It could go down. It could go down.’ N****s know you’re a b*tch man.” He ended by warning him to keep his name out of the beef.

NLE Choppa has been feuding with NBA YoungBoy since dropping his track, “KO,” back in October. “YoungBoy, what? This the big boy league/ I put one up in your gut under the Jesus piece/ Last thing that I heard was ‘Jesus, please’/ Had me looking at the devil like ‘This is your king,’” Choppa raps on the song.

Speaking with Rolling Stone after its release, Choppa explained why he felt it necessary to diss YoungBoy. “And my thing was I’ve heard interviews from him that he’s vocalized, that he’s conscious of what he’s doing, and I have no problems with him, but that’s the part where my assignment, that’s the part of my duty, that’s what I’m on the contract of, because I’m conscious of it. I know you can’t continue to consciously choose a way that’s indifferent to the most highs,” he said.

The fans want ICEMAN to be a career-defining project. While the first few singles from the album have proven to be a tad disappointing, there is no denying that Drake is looking to deliver. He has reverted back into the studio, and his most recent snippets suggest a comeback is in full effect.

We have been able to hear some of these snippets on his Kick livestreams with his good friend BenDaDonnn. That said, there is still one very pressing question right now: when is the album dropping.

Last night, Drake didn’t exactly offer an answer to that question. However, he offered one final update for 2025 that will surely get fans excited. Not to mention, it sends a warning shot at the entire industry.

When is ICEMAN Dropping?

“I’m going on a last recording trip… There’s plenty to talk about. We’ll talk about it,” Drake said. “ICEMAN coming soon, y’all boys better duck and get out the way.”

DJ Akademiks recently made the prediction that Drake was going to be taking a ton of shots on his new album. This shouldn’t be all that surprising, as Drizzy has never shied away from getting his licks in, well past the expiry date.

ICEMAN is a project that will be important for Drake’s career. After losing the beef to Kendrick, there is pressure to perform. GNX was one of the biggest albums of 2024/25. Now, Drake needs to do something similar with ICEMAN. Otherwise, there are going to be numerous pundits calling the project a failure.

Drake understands this better than anyone, and that’s why he is putting this much effort into the new record. He can’t afford not to.
