Budden condemned Akademiks after he shared a video clip from his Off The Record podcast featuring an interview he did 10 days prior with PNB Rock. The power of the tongue is vital. PNB Rock recently spoke with Akademics about being out in public with his girlfriend and daughter and possibly getting targeted by robbers, HipHop DX reports.

“I hate that I saw that clip,” Budden said in the video clip. “I hate that Ak put that clip. This was my exact Adam22 argument about sensitivity. You gotta be sensitive about certain things. I can’t put that out. At the end, while alive, he’s describing his partner and he’s talking about the role that your partner plays in those instances.”

“As a man, we’ve all been there where we peep something, and our partner maybe didn’t think it was that serious. So he describes that in his clip, and not very long after, shortly after, it comes to life. That exact shit,” he added.

Budden also noted he caught some heat for posting his sentiments about PnB Rock’s death but didn’t get into the story’s details.

Budden expressed his sympathy for Rock’s girlfriend and mother of his two children Stephanie Sibounheuang who’s been cyber-bullied following the shooting for sharing her and PNB’s location while in Los Angeles.

“Now, the young lady,” Budden continued. “I posted a picture. I deleted it. I was getting fried. Now there’s a clip that says I was slipping before this. I’m not putting that clip out because that young lady is already dealing with enough. I don’t need to compile on what’s going on with her in this moment. For what? It’s nasty.”

Joe Budden and Akademiks were colleagues on Everyday Struggle, but even years after the cast mates split, they still can’t agree on how certain stories play out.
