The long-standing feud between Joe Budden and his former co-hosts Rory and Mal doesn’t have an end in sight. After Complex ranked the former Everyday Struggle host as the leading voice in hip-hop media, his former co-hosts chimed in on the matter. Rory and Mal called Budden a “cat burglar,” citing alleged salary discrepancies during their time on The Joe Budden Podcast. However, they’ve now taken their issues with Budden up a level as they debuted a new line of merch.
This week, Rory and Mal debuted a brand new t-shirt as part of their merch line that trolls the ex-Slaughterhouse rapper. The new shirt includes n phrase “Bare Minimum Boys,” playing off of the iconic Billionaire Boys Club design. The design references comments made by Budden on his podcast when he addressed Rory and Mal’s criticism. “Instead of critiquing people’s placement on this list, we need more critiquing on why you’re not on it,” he said. “Stop doing the bare minimum and expecting that to yield results. You n***as are the bare minimum boys.”
Rory & Mal’s Revenge
In the latest episode of the Rory & Mal podcast, Rory explained how he’s kept Budden’s name out of his mouth since he was fired. “Outside of maybe two or three jokes since we put our response video out two years ago, I have not said a fucking word. Matter of fact, if anything I’ve been objective and complimentary in a lot of places. And if you look at that clip, I even said you deserved to be on that fucking list,” he explained. Not only did he say he was talking about Budden but he also pointed out that his name is bleeped out anytime its mentioned on The Joe Budden Podcast.
“I told you the last time I saw you, ‘Leave me alone.’ And I have not said a fucking word. I’ve been nothing but kind, polite [and] anytime someone brings you up publicly, I don’t say bad words. Stop talking about it.” he added. We’ll keep you posted if Joe Budden responds. For now, take a look at Rory & Mal’s new merch and let us know if it’s a cop or not in the comment section below.
