Mal Addresses Fall Out With Joe Budden

Joe Budden is believed to have self sabotaged himself with his bad leadership skills after he fired his podcast co hosts Mal and Rory. Ever since, there have been a decline in the Joe Budden Podcast.

Joe initially claimed that Mal and Rory were ungrateful for the money they were making. He’s taken accountability for the way he handled the situation. In fact, he offered an apology to Rory on an episode of the show.

However, the duo made it clear that they had percentage-based contracts which meant they were entitled to see the podcast’s revenue, which Joe simply wouldn’t allow.

Mal Addresses Fall Out With Joe Budden

Well, Rory and Mal now have their very own podcast and on the latest episode, they had a deep conversation about business and whether or not you can work with your friends.

Mal had an interesting take on the topic as he noted that friends can do business as long as they are open with each other. He also noted that Joe’s behavior has been hypocritical, especially since he labels himself a champion of creators.

“You can’t cry about De La Soul not getting their splits on one show and then do what you did to me and Rory,” Mal said. “You can do business with friends and I think we gotta stop acting like you can’t. People love to say ‘don’t mix business with friends.”

He continued, “You can absolutely do business with friends. It’s just conversations, it’s just transparency, it’s just honesty.”
