Joe Budden Addresses Nicki Minaj's 'MotorSport's Criticism

Joe Budden and DJ Akademiks have been some of the leading 'MotorSport' rumormongers.

Mainly, the pair suggested that Minaj didn't know Cardi would be the other feature on the Migos track.

Minaj disputed that earlier this week, claiming that anything with her name on it is cleared because she wants it to be cleared.

Budden pushed back hard on the freewill Nicki asserted on today's Everyday Struggle.

"Just stop. Who the fuck believes that ... Let me try to not sound so harsh with my tone. In her thinking, Quavo called and basically was looking for permission to put one of the group member's girlfriend on the song?" Budden said, arguing Nicki had no choice but to clear the song. "People are using Cardi B. Cardi is hot as fuckin' fish grease and she is being used. Nicki your brand is huge and you're a fuckin' huge superstar brand wise, but you need that record, and you need that look. So, of course, you were going to clear it. If you were not going to clear it, when were you putting your Uzi record out? The record that Uzi did, that your desperate ass hopped on immediately, without being requested to be there, and then sent to Atlantic for them to clear...As they're trying to break their brand new woman act??? Answer it!"
