Joe Budden Apologizes to Latto for Making It Seem Like She Doesn’t Write Her Own Raps: ‘I Wasn’t Tryna Play With Your Pen Like That’

The rapper-turned-podcaster suggested that her flow on her song "Hostage" reminded him of Drake's flow on "Shabang."

Joe Budden has apologized to Latto in a clip from a Patreon episode of the Joe Budden Podcast that recently surfaced.

Earlier this week, Latto tweeted out a picture of her handwritten lyrics to “Hostage” from her new album Big Mama, and @’d the podcaster after Budden said that her flow reminded him of Drake‘s cadence on ICEMAN’s “Shabang.” So, of course, his co-hosts brought it up and he tried to explain his reasoning.
