Media mogul Joe Budden ripped into Drake on his podcast August 10, 2026, following Drake’s public comments that his “pen isn’t dry.” Budden called the claim “damage control” and referenced Drake’s historical feud history with Pusha T, Meek Mill, and Kendrick Lamar. The clip from The Joe Budden Podcast pulled 2M views in 6 hours.
Budden argued Drake is trying to rewrite the narrative after his Iceman rollout was overshadowed by the Kendrick battle fallout. He said “pen isn’t dry is what you say when you lost.” Drake previously said his pen isn’t dry during his Stake livestream with Adin Ross, warning opponents he’s still writing. Budden’s co-hosts agreed, saying Drake needs to drop, not talk.
The feud between Budden and Drake dates back to 2016’s “Making A Murderer” disses. Fans are split, with #TeamDrake and #TeamJoe trending simultaneously. With Iceman still at #1, Budden’s critique adds fuel to the comeback debate.
