When she realized she would be a shootable character, she turned down the opportunity due to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/profile\/torylanez\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Tory Lanez<\/a> case. While reacting to this on his podcast, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/profile\/joebudden\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Joe Budden<\/a> allegedly shaded Meg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Take this with a grain of salt, as the audio clip emerged on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PoliticalPimpn\/status\/1992250805202862538\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">Twitter<\/a> with no video or further context attached. Nevertheless, the JBP cohosts discussed the confession, with the panel agreeing that it was an understandable move. But then Budden allegedly said this: &#8220;I don&#8217;t even play Call Of Duty, I&#8217;d have bought it off the strength.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Of course, it&#8217;s impossible to know exactly what the rapper and podcaster referred to with this comment without more context or explanation. Maybe he meant that he would&#8217;ve bought the game if an artist like the Houston femcee was involved. But a less grace-giving interpretation that many fans online expressed is that Joe wanted to buy the game to shoot the Houston femcee. At press time, it doesn&#8217;t seem like he has addressed this controversy, nor have the other podcast members.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Budden &amp; Megan Thee Stallion<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">We will see whether or not this gets any clarification or if clips with more context on the Internet will combat this narrative once fans get a fuller picture. Nevertheless, it drew a lot of heat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">One reason as to why is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotnewhiphop.com\/26629-joe-budden-turns-himself-in-to-nypd-news\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"font-semibold hover:text-accent-color border-b-2 border-accent-color\">Joe Budden&#8217;s past allegations of domestic violence.<\/a> While he has denied wrongdoing in the past and continues to try to move on, many fans are not forgiving. As such, these alleged comments struck a nerve with folks who remember these allegations and aim to protect women in these situations.<\/p>\n<p>Fan Reactions<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-lora text-dark-grey !leading-[1.9125rem] break-words text-[17px] lg:text-lg\">Will Joe or Megan respond to this possible disrespect? We don&#8217;t know, but fans are still going wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During her defamation case against blogger Milagro Gramz, Megan Thee Stallion revealed why she turned down an offer&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":399631,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[108410,171,2260,61697,40585,189400,975,50,189401,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-399630","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-call-of-duty","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-hip-hop-news","11":"tag-joe-budden","12":"tag-megan-thee-stallion","13":"tag-megan-thee-stallion-shooting","14":"tag-music","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-the-joe-budden-podcast","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115600400535136712","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
