Joe Budden took to his podcast to talk about why he does not think Megan Thee Stallion is a superstar. 'The Pump It Up' fame rapper had been talking about his frustrations about the current rap game in his podcast when he began to explain why he does not think Megan is a superstar. 

"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 s**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," Budden remarked in his podcast about the "Thot Shit" rapper.

Budden also argued that the fame and publicity of an artist can not be measured by the number of brand deals they get. "Griselda has a lot going on (too). There are mad artists that have a lot going on, your management team has got to be a whole f**king company of people. You got to have a team of know-it-all people," the rapper said. 

"Y'all are just making rules up. You still got to know how to sell a f**king album. When Adele comes out, you gotta move. When n***as come out, you gotta move. When a superstar comes out, you mortal, mere minion n***as 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?(sic)" The Slaughterhouse continued in his podcast.

Budden had earlier commented on female rappers like Nicki Minaj and Cardi B on his podcast, mentioning that they had reached stardom. "Cardi B is a superstar," he declared a few days prior. "And you can't argue that she is not," he stated in one of the episodes in his podcast. Replying to this, Cardi B gave Joe a shoutout on Twitter by sharing an old photo of herself with him. "I told y'all he always believed in me……that's why I always got love for him even when he gets me mad …That's my mean uncle," she wrote.
