What did Joe Budden say about Michael B Jordan? Rapper slammed over comments on Lorel corny drama

American media personality Joe Budden is now under fire for his March 1 comments about Michael B. Jordan's run-in with his former classmate and radio show host, Lore'l at a red-carpet interview.

The incident in question occurred on Thursday, February 23, 2023, during a screening of Creed III, which stars Jordan. At the event, he was approached by The Morning Hustle host for an interview, during which he briefly questioned her about her past comments on a podcast, where she had called him corny.

The New Jersey native took to his podcast, The Joe Budden Podcast, to blast the Black Panther antagonist for publicly calling out Lore'l. He called the actor's actions "corny," adding:

"If I bring back those White girl rumors, then it's gon' sound even crazier. Why you talking to our sisters like that on the red carpet when you don't talk to White b*tches like that?"

Lore'l said that her co-host was the one who called Jordan "corny"

During Michael B. Jordan's interaction with Lore'l, the former referred to a 2021 episode of the Undressing Room podcast, where he alleged that the host had deemed him "corny."

Lore'l, however, explained that she was misquoted and it was her co-host Dominique da Diva, who had commented on the actor. While discussing Jordan's relationship with Lori Harvey, da Diva had said:

"You know what I really think deep down inside? I think that Michael B. Jordan is a nice, corny guy, and I don’t mean that as a slight."
