Joe Budden Addresses $250K Jay-Z Verse Rumor

Joe Budden recently addressed rumors that Jay-Z was down to remix one of his tracks with a verse... if he forked over $250K. Moreover, that's an insane amount even by today's feature standards, but the podcaster couldn't confirm or deny that that was the amount. Furthermore, he addressed such rumors on the Drink Champs podcast on Revolt TV, after hosts DJ EFN and N.O.R.E. pressed him about it. While he spoke about trying to get Hov to remix his hit "Pump It Up" from 2003, he confirmed reports that the New York legend was down to do so. However, Budden hesitated on the details.




"That's the rumor. That's a rumor," the former Everyday Struggle host stated. "I didn't personally ask him. I couldn't personally speak to him," he said before stating that A&R Skane reached out to Jay in his stead. At the time I'm not ranting anywhere. I just don't know how to receive that. I just know that I don't have 250 grand, I think Webb put the battery in my back. [He said], 'You gon' let him do that? Nah, you gotta get to the studio right now!' I don't think that was a big number, I think that was his number. 'That's my number to rap on this new artist's remix.' It was just big in my world, but it wasn't a big number.




Jay-Z May Or May Not Have Wanted $250K For A Verse, Says Joe Budden







Their conversation about the rumored "Pump It Up" price begins around the 5-minute mark.




"Listen, I'm super young in that moment," the 42-year-old continued. "I wasn't in the studio when [Skane] had the conversation. I knew that they had some type of relationship. It was a Just Blaze beat, and I was green behind the ears. I just thought that it would get done. I didn't know anything about the business and how things like that are supposed to go. That was par the course... It was big to me because it was unattainable... but the blessing was that he gave a number."




Moreover, these comments come after the "Big Pimpin'" star's comments about not charging often for features. Furthermore, he said "it's actually always been mostly relationships" to Kevin Heart on his Hart to Heart series last year. "Sometimes it's talent and sometimes someone asks me to be on something. Pretty much every song that I'm on I'm asked to be on. I don't ask people to be on their songs. I never charge." Regardless of your take, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Joe Budden and Jay-Z.
