Why Joe Budden Denied Nicki Minaj When Asked to Perform "Pump It Up"

[@nicolerising3449]

Joe should've showed up & showed out.

[@thequietstorm12]

Right!

[@ronbass2272]

Straight facts 😂😂😂 embrace your success Joe

[@ChazzzMosss11]

I’d be on stage with a fly fit pumpin itttt uppp

[@JaiK64]

And the internet would have talked about him the next day

[@Sponsorship4u2]

@@JaiK64And he knows that which is why he didn’t do it! Drake for sure would have clowned Joe!

[@MrShymon3y]

“Let me just make this statement loud and clear; Jersey’s here!” Lmao Ish funny asf for that 😂😂😂

[@NJ-yt9sk]

Joe didn't want to be a topic on everyone else's pod 😂😂

[@tyree-ob4bf]

That explains it😂

[@thaneros]

Eh? happens all the time

[@Black____]

They talk about him anyway

[@dtippitt2]

Why not that’s how you make $ and be the topic for while

[@NJ-yt9sk]

Guys...its just a joke.

[@dennismelville7532]

😢 I'm soooooooo disappointed.... that was definitely a once in a lifetime missed opportunity!

[@thequietstorm12]

Yup!

[@Sponsorship4u2]

Indeed. And the NJ show was great!

[@dennismelville7532]

👍😎 Thank you all for the "likes".... but for real for real.... the energy that would of have come from this setting would have been epic! Imagine all the young hating ass bloggers/streamers... what they couldn't have said from the crowds reaction to a legend just dropping a few bars on the humble call up? And even if it didn't work out.. he could of easily said it wasn't planned or he wasn't prepared. Now if he ever touches a mic in the future, and it's whack... more people would have clowned him for take a calculated effort to put on a show.

Naughty took those risks back in the day for cats like y'all to WALK. Heard stories that NYC used to boo out of towners. And a big artist is in your town and you can't Pump it UP!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@twon1582]

Bruuuuh! Why did you tell us that! You should just talked to them off camera and then just do it

[@flack0tv286]

That was definitely a “square up” 😂😂

[@Achwpo]

Joe was nervous 😂

[@philb707]

Yea he was 😂😂

[@jman1562001]

Naughty and them put on and laid that groundwork and you turn down whole HIP HOP MOMENTS. Could of ODB the stage on some wild shit!!! Jump on the diss Drake bandwagon and play one of your disses!!!

[@TheFilmLocker]

Scared! He’s cool and in control on his podcast. Maybe with more time to mentally prep and do a run through it would be a different story

[@Msmillz]

I understand what Joe saying lol but it still would of performed with the Queen in a wheelchair idgaf lmaoo

[@henryhudson4965]

Pump it Up by Joe Budden will Always be classic👑 1:34

[@nicolerising3449]

Joe had a few hits that would turn a party up. He could've showed Jersey a hood time. Especially the ones in his age bracket. We would've loved it.

[@Sponsorship4u2]

@@nicolerising3449I was at the NJ show and I promise Joe would have lit that place UP if he came out! Jersey loves a hometown hero FR

In late asf but hell yeah ❤

Ish said "your breath control was different" 😂😭😂

Joe really thinks he’s dark skinned

[@_Just_V_]

That shit is subjective and asinine either way.

He is an honorary.

[@BadwithDates2]

Pump it Up is a classic, he should have did it

[@harshoperator]

Fumbled the bag bruh lol

[@Sponsorship4u2]

Joe got his bag secured he is not missing anything there

[@kboww88]

Joe shouldve pulled up and performed all his drake disses just to join the jumping

[@CapitalE401]

lol

[@diegolopez98741]

Lmaooooo, could you imagine? I wonder how Nicki would feel about that tho

[@MrhuntahOfficial]

@@diegolopez98741she wouldn't care, drake has snubbed her so many times.

[@kennethfocarino7075]

Nah bro, we don’t need to see Joe rap for three hrs lol

[@KingRocco7]

Quick check too

[@toyathebossy1]

That would have been fire 🔥 Joe playing!!

[@youngcnyce]

Although it would be fire Joe doesn't want to have a viral moment where something happens on stage & he's clowned for it.

[@tf8187]

Exactly

[@Sponsorship4u2]

So true! BUT I was at the NJ show and if he had the right fit & some breath control & could work the crowd oh it would have been everything! I promise you the crowd would have gone wild for Joe on stage!

[@brownskindragon]

Damn why Joe ain’t do his thang baby do ya thang , move that thang mami move that thing. It would have shut down the internet!! Crowd would of went insane

[@timoaksproductions]

Right

[@batriciaparker]

Facts!! He pissed me off so bad lol 😩

[@Sponsorship4u2]

EXACTLYYYY cuz I was at the NJ show! It would have gone crazy in there FR if Joe had hit the stage real talk

[@soar12]

We need Joe to perform it at some point 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@brownskindragon]

💯

[@Sponsorship4u2]

I think Joe is demonstrating that ship has sailed If he didn’t do it for Nicki on a huge stage in front of a sold out packed audience he is not doing if

[@soar12]

@@Sponsorship4u2 yeah. Probably. 😂

[@CodenameRawTV]

Joe doesn't want to be criticized that's why. He's one of those people that knows if he doesn't do something he can talk his ish about it for eternity. It's like how he claims he's one of the greatest spitters , but refuses to ever hop in the booth again because he knows people will be waiting to analyze it and he won't be able to blindly claim that anymore. As long as he doesn't participate and put his hat in the game he can talk sh*t lol.

[@t-god2439]

I will say I’ve listened to more of Joe’s catalog(beyond pump it up lmao) and I was surprised. His pen was nice

[@ryancourtneyhenry]

Joe has a mean catalogue already. He needs to rap into his 50s to prove to the youth that he's as nice as he says? I don't see Mike still picking up a ball yet we acknowledge he's the GOAT.

[@t-god2439]

@@ryancourtneyhenry lol Mike did pick up a ball and play til he was 50 . Hell he might even still play since he loves the game to much. The thing with Joe that I think ruined his rap career is that he burned to many bridges. Sometimes it’s not the talent or lack there of. Sometimes it’s the person. Personally I hope Joe never raps again his outro to the game “idols”. Is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. It’s the only song I’ve heard question streaming and what it could do to hip hop and this was in 2016. The early days of streaming

[@BlueDinnie]

Yo that mood music series ridiculous I still play that My daughter who was born in 2015 likes it...

[@CodenameRawTV]

@@ryancourtneyhenry he doesn't if he's going to let his time be his time, but he isn't. He's still talking himself up that he'd body anyone today so in that regard, yes, he needs to lace up 👟 or put the damn ball down 🏀 and shut up lol.

[@lajuan4306]

Joe coming out would have been such a moment! 😩 I wished that he had.

[@NOBLEPAIGEPATRICK]

nicki a real 1 for calling Joe

Opportunities like that don't come often Joe......could have ODB the situation and reignited some shit LOL!!! Throw on the white beater and work up a sweat. Performing a song doesn't mean you are still active rapping. COME ON SON

“Y’all attacking my character”😂😂😂 Joe’s hilarious

[@drewt8138]

It's a no! That song came out 25 years ago. It's a hard no. And the fact that she called dude 30 mins before her show just goes to show how much of a no it is becuz even she viewed him as an afterthought

That would've been epic af!

Ya'll leave Joe alone, he was just nervous and unprepared 😁😁

Legendary move

Joe should’ve done it. She has a show in Brooklyn again coming up this is his second chance

Seen Joe at the brickley on a stage that was waste high lol i dapper him up right after.

Nah you should've shits forever a hit🤣🔥

[@CLS_7301]

Bruh definitely should’ve did it and had fun Joe is weird

[@NjFabiano]

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: This show would be so much better/more popular if they addressed things currently in the news. The drake diss drop will likely be addressed in like a week. Is the edit/production of this show THAT complicated that it takes a week+ before it can be put out? If you’re the type of pod that addresses current events, maybe try to be more current.

[@martyb7064]

😂Yall know Joe forgot the words😂
