Joe Budden is not here for Kanye West inserting himself into Drake and Kendrick Lamar‘s beef with a diss track of his own.
Ye dropped his remix to Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar‘s “Like That” earlier this month, where he took shots at both Drizzy and J. Cole – much like K.Dot did on the original.

The track opens with West nodding to Drake’s current beef with K.Dot by saying, “Yo Dot, I got you.” And the verse ends with direct shots at Drizzy and Cole: “Y’all so out of sight, out of mind/I can’t even think of a Drake line/ Play J. Cole, get the pussy dry.”
On the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Joey called for Ye to remove himself from beef that is none of his business – particularly because, in Budden’s telling, Ye missed an earlier opportunity to beef with Drake.

“Kanye, sit your fucking ass down somewhere,” Joe began. “Mind your fucking business. This is not about you. This is some attention-seeking shit that you’re doing. Kanye has been trying to insert himself in this since the beginning. You had your shot. You didn’t take it. That n-gga was gunning for you. Y’all all ran except for Pusha… It’s not smooth when it’s not your beef.”
The podcast host did, however, admit that Ye’s tweaks to the “Like That” beat were top tier.

“I’ll tell you one thing – what he did to that beat? Woo!” Joe said. “Any time Kanye get around a choir, magic is coming.”
Though Joe Budden isn’t a fan, Metro Boomin appeared to co-sign Kanye West’s diss after it dropped.
Taking to social media, the super producer posted a photo alongside Ye and captioned it, “Drake somewhere texting his mom they bullying me again.”

The ante has been upped just that much more this week as Kendrick Lamar finally fired back at Drake on his blistering new diss song “Euphoria.”
Released by surprise on Tuesday (April 30), the fiery track finds the Compton rapper unloading on his longtime rival for several minutes in response to Drizzy’s own diss records “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.”
After opening with a sample of Teddy Pendergrass’ “You’re My Latest, My Greatest Inspiration,” over which K.Dot refers to a “pathetic master manipulator” who is “paranoid,” “spiraling” and “fabricating stories on the family front,” the song kicks into life with a sudden beat switch.
From there, Kendrick throws jab after jab — and even a few haymakers — at the 6 God, using everything from his parenting skills, alleged use of ghostwriters and rumored plastic surgery to his appearance, tough guy persona and attitude towards women as ammo.

He also accuses Drizzy of sending a cease and desist letter in attempt to have “Like That” taken down.
