Joe Budden elaborates on JAY-Z’s intentions to help select Kendrick Lamar to perform at Super Bowl LIX halftime show, a tribute to Drake, during the latest episode of his podcast Disrespectful. In doing so, Bardem hinted that he knew the “hottest tea” about what was going on backstage with Lil Wayne.
Bardem was the first to admit that if he were JAY-Z, he wouldn’t have liked Drake’s decision to release a house album, which he debuted with “Honestly, Nevermind” the same year Beyoncé dropped “Renaissance” 》. “You have to understand, we’re dealing with the ‘power’ part of ‘money, power, respect.’ That’s the part we have to focus on, now, when this comes into play, the people with power are going to play it out,” Bar said Den began. From then on, he proposed drinking “tea”. “I heard there was something going on backstage,” he added, before saying it was “too hot” to reveal more details. “But something happened backstage at one of the shows.”

Since then, Barden has complained about the overall reaction to the NFL drafting Lamar. “I’m frustrated that we announced a black hip-hop halftime performer, but we’re just muddying the waters with who we think should be, or who you think should be a black performer,” he said while taking aim previously added young hip-hop fans. “It’s been a hundred years since Kid Rock, Guns N’ Roses, and Bruce Springsteen, and you’re not even alive yet.”
