Logic has addressed negative comments made by Joe Budden in a new interview with the rapper-turned-podcaster’s former co-hosts Rory and Mal.In a 2019 episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Budden described Logic as “easily one of the worst rappers to ever grace a microphone”.

His comments came after he had listened to French Montana‘s ‘Twisted’ single featuring A$AP Rocky, Juicy J and Logic.“I’m going to be honest with you – I don’t know what they tell you at Def Jam, I know you sold a lot of records, I know you sell out a whole bunch of tours and I know just how successful you are,” Budden said, referring to Logic. “I have to be honest, you are horrible, man.”Budden’s co-host’s at the time were Rory Farrell and Jamil Clay (aka Rory and Mal), who now have their own podcast, New Rory & Mal.

On the latest episode of the pair’s show, Logic, whose new album ‘Vinyl Days’ was released on Friday (June 17), opened up about Budden’s comments and how they were partly responsible for him deciding to retire from rap in 2020.Recalling the moment he found out Budden had called him the “worst rapper”, Logic said: “I read this and my heart rate explodes.

And I’m like, ‘Oh my God’. And I go out, and I’m at like the [Madison Square] Garden and everyone is rapping my lyrics and shit, whatever.
