[BlaqkSpliffin]

nikkas be defending other nikkas who do weird shyt and I don't be understanding why. It's one thing to be like "let's wait till everything comes out before we choose a side" but you nikkas be dikkriding other grown men who wouldn't spit on you if you were on fire. nikkas with a continued history of weird shyt that y'all ignore cause you like his content. It's very odd behavior.

It's also like all the Trump supporters across the country too who don't care about what he says or does, I am a fan of his podcasting but I want Joe to get help and some type of solid and fair management

Bro, literally in the video after Joe JOKINGLY says "Hit the button bytch" he goes on to explain how he's joking and he obviously didn't mean to offend her. She said "I know it's not malicious Joe" (or something to that extent) they laugh and move on. She literally says that in the video but of course in this social media click driven world nobody wants the facts they just wanna be fake outraged for the week.

Breh, a boss can't call a female employee a "bytch" and then just claim you were joking. A boss can't tell someone that works under him that "we should fukk" and just claim you were joking.

It's 2021, none of this shyt is new information. These aren't new rules that were presented last week.

I was saying this earlier. Dude thought he could do the same shyt he was doing before he became a “boss” He learned that he can’t though.

You clearly didn't watch the video.

Men can holler at women in 2021. You’re a fukking retard if you think a BOSS should be telling his EMPLOYEE “we should fukk”, joking or not. Period.

There seems to be a subset of posters on here that I cant imagine function around women in public places

 

[Secure Da Bag]

So men can’t holler at females at all in 2021?

Even though Joe Budden is married , but even still...

That's all it is. People call out his shytty behavior and he'll double down on it and be like "I ain't changing". He 40 with multiple baby mamas, a failed rap career he ruined, and failed friendships and business that he also ruined. He a talented dude but he refuses to really get help and get out his own way. I can't defend a nikka like that no matter how talented he is.

Joe Budden Apologizes to Olivia Dope Following Sexual Harassment Allegation

In a statement issued Tuesday, May 18th, Budden responded: “As a podcaster, it is my job to address topics and create dialogue around them. During the conversation on the See, The Thing Is podcast I didn’t handle the topics with the sensitivity they deserved. I recognize my words and power in that situation created an upsetting environment for Olivia. Upon reflection, both the network and I take accountability for this.”

He continued: “I apologize sincerely to Olivia, her former co-hosts, our staff, and the public. In an effort to not further any trauma, the episode will be removed from all platforms. We support all women’s rights to feel comfortable and protected in the workplace. We fell short of that in this instance. We support Olivia in her quest to heal, applaud her for finding the strength to share her experience, and wish her the best in all her future endeavors. I am taking the time to listen and learn; we have already begun to make the necessary changes to ensure this is a safe environment for all moving forward. We at the network endeavor to continue to elevate Black women’s voices and create opportunities to have constructive conversations to impact change.”

"Support Olivia in her quest to heal"

Even when he apologizing this dude a straight up dikkhead

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Joe Budden should have just started an OnlyFans advertising agency

He know tons of bad bytches and could have fukked them behind the scenes

 

[duckbutta]

It’s a damn podcast...do they even have HR training?

nikka you need HR training to know NOT to tell a woman you work with you want to fukk her and not to hump her when you hug her

I can't with you nikkas man

 

[Sterling Archer]

Budden been exposed for jerking his dogs off (his own admittance) and kicking a baby out a bytch. Who is surprised by anything he is accused of?

 

[NatiboyB]

nikka you need HR training to know NOT to tell a woman you work with you want to fukk her and not to hump her when you hug her

I can't with you nikkas man

why do you think they started that type of training? You think folks who own clubs, strip clubs, etc aren’t fukking the workers or haven’t tried the workers? Quit acting like every thing is a legitimate business we are talking about a damn podcast not an insurance company. What it someone had a policy of I won’t sign you to my record label or podcast if you aren’t fukking?

Some of y’all be acting like you don’t understand the underbelly of society and that everything isn’t fair. Quit thinking how your place of work operates is how others operate. Nowhere in any of my statements did I say anything about what’s right or wrong did I.
