Joe Budden Apologizes To Rory After Fall Out

Joe Budden Takes Accountability, Apologizes To Rory And Mal

Joe Budden fired his co-hosts Rory and Mal on the popular ‘The Joe Budden Podcast’ and made some degrading comments about Rory.

“Rory feels like he has so many options here, somehow he still feels like he’s running the show [and] he still feels like he has choices and options,” Joe said earlier this week.

“He feels like he’s entitled to more. Rory, you are in breach of your contract. And from this point forward, you are fired and you are not welcome back,” Budden added.

Well, Joe has taken some sort of accountability for the way he handled the situation. In fact, he offered an apology to Rory on the latest episode of the show.

“Seeing all of this feedback and all this — I do need to apologize to Rory, as well. Maybe Rory and Mal, too, but definitely Rory,” Joe said before reflecting that “things sound a lot spicier in the go-out.” He said that he initially asked for that part to be edited out of the final cut.

“Ever since that last pod, I’ve just been having like pictures in my head of every moment that me and the guys have ever had together,” he continued with a maniacal laugh.

“When I say I didn’t ask you to do shit for me — ’cause I don’t ask y’all to do shit for me but that’s a man thing to me. You just don’t ask men too much shit but when I said I didn’t ask you to do something, it don’t mean I’m not appreciative. It don’t mean I’m not grateful. It just means I never asked.”

“When do you say that and not sound like a dickhead?” He admitted that regardless of his intentions, it was wrong for him to address Rory with such a tone. He explained that it stems from a deep-rooted issue with authority.

“I don’t want that to affect people I love which is why I’m going to apologize to Rory because me and Rory have so many fly n***a moments together. Like, fly, friend type of vibey — like, it’s unfortunate that they might not feel that we’re so friendly today and it’s unfortunate that I can’t tell you how we got here, maybe aside from — if I’m taking accountability — poor leadership skills,” he said.

Later on in the episode, Joe invites his therapist for a conversation as they discuss accountability, trust, and more.
