(Video) Joey Bada$$ Addresses Troy Ave Twitter Beef On Ebro In The Morning

Troy Ave x Joey Badass_LifeIsTremendez

Last month, New York rappers Joey Bada$$ and Troy Ave traded a few subliminals on Twitter, after Joey didn’t take too kindly to Troy‘s claims that his official first-week sales of 7,700 units as an independent artist was a huge deal. As Joey is independent as well, he tweeted the following:

“Reminder: Joey Bada$$ sold 57,000+ albums in his first week, INDEPENDENTLY… At 20 years old… $10/album… 85% of shares, do the math….That makes me the #1 Independent Hip Hop artist/brand in the world….”

Naturally, an exchange then ensued. Appearing on Hot 97‘s Ebro In The Morning this week to promote the first annual #STEEZday concert (in honor of the birthday of the late Capital STEEZ of Joey‘s Pro Era crew,) the Brooklyn emcee said the following:

So, Meek Mill & Nicki Minaj Were A Little Upset With Joe Budden Last Night…

Joe Budden x Nicki Minaj x Meek Mill beef_LifeIsTremendez

If you frequent this site, then you’re well aware of I’ll Name This Podcast Later, the podcast I’ve been doing weekly with Joe Budden for MONTHS now. Every single week, we discuss current events, we make jokes on each other and other people, we share opinions…we have a show. That’s how shows work. It’s not a podcast about Joe being a rapper, because maybe then opinions wouldn’t be warranted. But it’s 3 friends – one of which happens to have a larger following because of his OTHER work – who come together on a weekly basis for a light-hearted podcast of nonsense.

That being said, it honestly surprised me when Joe‘s comments about Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj‘s relationship on last week’s episode (number 20) made headlines. While we discussed the happenings at the 2015 BET Awards, Joe made a joke about how he was saving pictures he saw of Meek looking at Nicki the entire show. He then said the following:

(Photos + Video) Summer Jam 2015 Recap: Performances, Gossip + More!

LifeIsTremendez_Hot 97 Summer Jam 2015 recap

Yesterday marked the 23rd annual Summer Jam concert from Hot 97, and another epic night for the record books! I was frazzled for a majority of the show because I signed up to work, and was assigned to handle all things Fetty Wap and Ty Dolla $ign…which sounded fun in theory, but DAMN it was a lot of work! Needless to say, I missed about 90% of things that happened – and that includes all that drama outside. My mother actually was texting me in a panic making sure I was okay, and I had to ask her what she was talking about because we were calmly sitting around sharing “deez nuts” jokes backstage at the time. LOL! It’s a shame a few bad apples attempted to spoil the whole bunch, but they ultimately didn’t – as the show went on inside without incident, and for the tens of thousands that did get in, it was an amazing time!

SO much went on behind-the-scenes and on the stage, so I’ll start from the beginning at the Festival Stage.
