Nicki Minaj and Joe Budden got into a heated argument during Budden’s appearance on the most recent episode of Queen Radio.

It all went down Monday when Minaj decided to address a few issues she had with the State of the Culture host, including accusations from Budden that Minaj and Megan thee Stallion‘s Instagram Live moment was planned versus organic and that the “Megatron” rapper had previously used drugs.

As their conversation spiraled, Minaj asked Budden, “Are you that fucking dumb? You like tearing down women when they can’t defend themselves.”

Eventually, Budden’s mic was cut and the show continued without him.

Despite the pair’s shouting match on Queen Radio, Minaj still pulled up to Budden’s The Joe Budden Podcast

You can listen to a few clips from the episode above and catch up on what went down in full on Apple Music.
