Joe Budden has called been called out by Kai Cenat and Adin Ross after he went on a fiery tirade against streamers on his podcast.
While discussing Travis Scott’s claim that he had been robbed by the Grammys after being nominated 10 times but never winning, Budden then played a clip of Cenat getting upset that Scott’s UTOPIA didn’t win Rap Album of the Year and admitting he didn’t know who Killer Mike was.

After the clip finished, Budden looked at the camera and said: “Y’all little streaming n-ggas don’t always run shit! Shut the fuck up! We don’t care about none of that lil’ streamy moshpit, marked card, whatever you n-ggas is doing over there. U-fucking-topia? U-nopia, n-gga.
“I’m just so happy that the little fuckety fucks finally have a look in the mirror moment and say, ‘Oh, it’s not about us!’ No, adults are out, n-gga! […] N-ggas got fly shit on, real execs, business people.”

He added: “Shut up for a change. I’m so sick of these n-ggas. We gotta rush behind Killer Mike. Killer Mike won, we gotta let these n-ggas know what the fuck we really think.”
He went on to call streamers “incels.”
Kai Cenat responded to Budden’s comments on his Twitch stream on Wednesday (February 7), saying: “What we have here is a case of old n-gga syndrome […] Stop talking about streaming n-ggas like we some lil’ n-ggas, bro. I could buy you, my n-gga. Do you understand that?”
After admitting he was wrong for not doing his “research” on Killer Mike, Cenat added: “I could pull up like 20 clips of you doubting every 2016 [XXL] Freshman, and look at them boys right now […] You got one hit, Joe! ‘Pump it up!’ No offense to your career and shit like that, but come on, bro!”
Adin Ross also replied to Budden on his own stream, saying: “Joe Budden, every time I see you or a clip of you, it’s just on some hating shit. I’ma be honest, bro, I don’t know what you do. I can’t even name one Joe Budden song, respectfully.
“You’re one of these old asses who hates. Why can’t you be more like Rick Ross or Snoop Dogg, the OGs that are cool as fuck and show flowers to the young motherfuckers? You have no room to talk, no room to speak.

“Me and Kai are 10 times richer than you will ever be, old man. We are more humble than you and we are nicer than you. You’re obviously a very salty old man. You have nothing going on for yourself, so you now try to hate on the young motherfuckers that are more successful than you.”

Joe Budden also directed his ire at Travis Scott and Playboi Carti during his aforementioned rant, calling them “bozos” over their performance at “FE!N” at the Grammys ceremony.
“What the fuck is Travis and his man doing up here?” he questioned. “Hey, you two bozos! Get the fuck off the stage when n-ggas got beautiful women and tuxedos on, honestly. You up there smashing shit. You got the nerve.”

“All that shit look different when it ain’t a thousand little white kids jumping up and down. When there are grown people here, all that ‘FE!N, FE!N, FE!N.’ That’s what you wanted to win over Killer Mike? You’re fucking stupid!”
He continued: “You bring your man out, Playboi Carti [and] the crowd just stays silent. Playboi Carti looked confused like, ‘Y’all don’t know who I am?’ No, n-gga! You got a fucking mask on. Who the fuck are you under there? You are not at SXSW anymore!

“We can’t recognize you bozos by the stocking mask you wearing. I hate these n-ggas, man, all of ’em! I love that song, I love that song, but not when tuxedos are out. Take that shit to the dirty Coachella grass, n-gga. N-ggas showered and lathered themselves tonight.”
