Joe Budden broke down Drake's newest release, "Fighting Irish Freestyle," during a recent episode of his podcast, weighing in on a rift between the Toronto rapper and LeBron James. "Talkin' 'bout we family, well, I'm not the cousin to visit / God forbid we ever got to tarnish your public image / All that brother talk as if I really discovered a sibling," Drake raps on the song. Analyzing those lyrics, the crew debated whether he was referring to DeMar DeRozan or LeBron James. "If it is about LeBron, that's a funny bar. Why would you say that? I don't think he would ever do that," Budden said.
Budden then went on to share what he feels is the "funniest bar" from the track. Fast-forwarding, Drake finishes the song by rapping: "The Dennis James come out when the vodka is floodin' my system / I don't have a drinkin' problem, I got a subtle addiction / I got my father's habits and I got my mother's permission / My dad has another child, I told him that wasn't my sister." Bursting into laughter, Budden remarks: "That's hilarious. That's funny."

Budden also discussed the idea of Drake allegedly having a daughter, saying: "I don't give a f*ck about Drake's daughter that y'all looking for or Dennis' grandkid. I don't care. This witchhunt that y'all on-- even if you find them, I don't care. It's over. It's 2025. I'm not Drake-Kendricking my 2025. They gotta do something new."
