Saturday, Joe Budden kicked off the latest version of his annual pool party function, calling on the talents of Lucky Daye and Austin Millz among others to headline his gathering.
The State of the Culture host got on Instagram Live to show his followers how the turn out was so far. Within minutes, Drake joined the session and began to playfully troll Budden, tossing jokes about the attendance, if he has towels, to play some Tyga, and more.
At first, Drake requested Rory come to the Live, which prompted Budden to explain that Rory and Drizzy have a love-hate relationship.
Drake laughs at seeing Rory, and then the lighthearted comments continue. He then requests the DJ to play Budden’s diss tracks because he wants to see “if they ring off.”
“That’s not nice Drake,” says Budden. For the record, Budden has four diss tracks: “Making a Murderer, Pt. 1,” “Wake,” “Afraid,” and “Just Because.”

Soon enough, Drake asks Budden to play Pusha T’s “Story Of Adidon” track to, again, see if it”rings off.”
“I promise the only person that’s gonna know the words is Rob Markman,” Drake quipped, referring to Genius’ Head of Artist Relations.
Markman would later respond by tweeting out some lines from “Adidon.”
“Of course the Genius knows the lyrics,” he supplemented.

Drake’s trolling reached a peak when he asked Budden to play “Pump It Up.” “It’ll send that AirBnb into a frenzy on God,” he wrote.

“And you know it would, n***a. Don’t play. I’ll turn that shit on. ‘Pump It Up’ birthed you n****s,’” Budden said with a laugh.
Budden tells Drake to “don’t play” before he cuts it off. “Don’t come in here and hurt my feelings. My dog just died. My birthday is next week. I don’t have time for these shenanigans.”
As of this writing, Budden is sharing more scenes from his party, so it looks like he’s having a good time despite Drake trolling his Live. He even reconciled with former co-host Marisa Mendez when Budden’s podcast was named I’ll Name This Podcast Later.
