Joe Budden let off some steam this week along with an interesting take in regards to Megan Thee Stallion’s current position within the rap game!
Despite her numerous accolades, chart topping projects and singles paired with millions of devoted fans, the former ‘Pump It Up’ rapper says he does not consider Megan a super star.
“You’re not a superstar if you can’t sell an album, what the f**k are we talking about right now? What stops her from being a superstar if we’re taking out sales? She ain’t sold sh*t. Got every brand deal in the world, but also has all the backing from different people. She’s got a lot going on. That’s the game today.,”’says Joe earlier this week during a recently released episode of his Joe Budden Podcast.
He goes on to address how the music industry has changed within the last few years and claims that marketing brands and company executives are what makes folks a superstar now a days.
“There’s mad artists that have a lot going on, your management team as got to be a whole f**king team of people. You got to have a team of know-it-all people.
Joe goes on to state that there are celebrities that when they drop a project the world shifts because of their major status, but he says Megan is not one of them.
“Y’all are just making rules up. You still got to know how to sell a f**king album. When Adele come out, you gotta move. When n****s come out, you gotta move. When a superstar comes out, you mortal, mere minion n****s have to move. Nobody does that for Lil Nas X, nobody does that for the seven Meg Thee Stallion releases that dropped over the past two years. What are we saying?”
