Nicki Minaj screamed at the top of her lungs as she and Joe Budden collided.
On Monday afternoon (Aug. 12), Nicki appeared on Apple’s Beats 1 Radio for the latest episode of Queen Radio. For the show, she had Budden and his podcast co-hosts appear as guests, which led to Nicki airing out some grievances with the rapper-turned-media personality. During their conversation, the two were going back and forth about what she called lies Budden has allegedly told about Minaj over the years. Suddenly, the self-proclaimed Queen of Rap unleashed a verbal warfare after Budden insinuated Nicki was a druggie. She ultimately cut off his microphone.
“Don’t say you ain’t never popped a pill,” he said in part. Nicki screamed, “I never said that you dumb fuck! Cut his fucking mic since you wanna be dumb!”
Prior to the on-air explosion, Nicki confronted Budden about his comments regarding her “Motorsport” collaboration with Cardi B and Migos.
“If you wanna talk about specifics, I can sit up here and give you five specific moments,” she told Budden. “I’m saying that when I say what the fuck it is, that’s what the fuck it is. Another example is when I explained how ‘Motorsport’ came about and you were one of the people — it might have been you and your sidekick Akademiks.

Budden replied, “He’s not my sidekick …”
Nicki quickly interrupted him and said, “This is a time when I wasn’t addressing things. You went on your platform and said she didn’t know this other bitch was on the record. You said it. You said that.
“Again, that is implying I am lying when I sat and said exactly how the song came about. I was asked — and I still have the text messages — can this person be put on this song and my response was, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.’ That was my response. You still went and said … y’all went and told the world Nicki Minaj is lying.” Only four minutes after Nicki cut Budden’s mic off, the Slaughterhouse rapper-turned-podcast host hit Twitter, writing simply, “Spicy.”
He followed up with, “I live for this shit.”
