DDG isnât letting up on Joe Budden. On Sunday (Oct. 6) evening, he took even more shots at the Slaughterhouse rapper on the âNo Ordinary Podcast.â
Regarding âPump It Up,â DDG questioned, âIt took you 20 years to go gold? To get a gold record, you gotta sell 500,000 copies, right? Just to put it in perspective, I got three gold records and [another] one [thatâs] double platinum.â
âArguments,â âIâm Geekin,â and âHood Melodyâ featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again were certified gold by the RIAA, while the Blueface-assisted âMoonwalking in Calabasasâ joined the platinum club in 2021.
âThis man is old enough to be my uncle [or] my pops. This is an old man. He ainât an OG to me â n**ga, you ainât getting no respect from me â but heâs like an old dude,â DDG continued. âIâm not going to lie: I looked up his accolades, and it made me feel way better about myself because a lot of people [get] on me crazy. These n**gas [donât] even got plaques.â
During a Saturday (Oct. 5) episode of Buddenâs eponymous podcast, he asked his cohosts, âWho the f**k is DDG?â The New York native went on to say, “I’m very happy that they have broken up so I don’t have to keep seeing this name attached to [Halle Baileyâs] name when I don’t know him from nothing as a standalone, and for me, it’s important to know people based on their name, merit, and what they have done.â
Taking to Twitter, DDG admitted that heâs been holding back on the women but made it clear, â[You] n**gas [with] platforms gonâ get a response.â He subsequently blasted Budden in a string of tweets for weighing in on a relationship involving people as young as his own kids. The âShe Donât Put It Downâ artist reacted, âLOLâ and âI love this place.â
