Joe Budden is calling out Keke Palmer, calling her a “weirdo” and seemingly a hypocrite after joining Blueface‘s livestream despite standing against abuse and domestic violence. The rapper-turned-podcaster claimed, “She praises a lot of men with abusive…”
During a recent episode of ‘The Joe Budden Podcast,’ Budden asked his several co-hosts if the public is ready to have “The Keke Palmer Conversation?” Marc Lamont Hill — who joins fellow co-hosts Mona Love, Emanny, Parks Vallely, Ice, Ish, Queenzflip, etc. — asked what he meant. Budden quipped,
“Apparently it’s not time for that Keke Palmer conversation just yet… I’m the wrong person to deliver what the Keke Palmer conversation is. I think that you’re being facetious because you’re very well aware of what [it is].”
Hill continued to double down on not immediately knowing what “The Keke Palmer Conversation” is all about, despite being in a group chat with others who previously asked about the situation. Budden replied:
“Ask your group chat. I can’t tell you. I can’t tell you. They ain’t about to drag me because they love Keke Palmer. Keke Palmer—I’ll try to tell you. Keke Palmer, they say, is…
Well, are you familiar with the whole sh*t she went through with her and her baby daddy? She was being abused and then he put out a story that kind of painted a different picture.
They kill her for her Trey Songz story, highlighting him as an abuser with that whole, ‘We were in Florida shooting a video and I had to hide in the closet because I was scared and he made me uncomfortable.’
But in the next breath, she will praise—she praises a lot of men with abusive… She spoke very highly of R. Kelly when she was on ‘The Breakfast Club,’ like very highly, extremely highly. She’s from Chicago. There’s a long list of sh*t on Keke Palmer.”
Hill conceded and said, “Yeah, of course. Contradictions. I see. I just didn’t know what…I get it.” Budden continued:
“So now here we are. It’s a Blueface interview and people are up in arms saying… I mean, on brand for you again. Again, it’s you. But every time a Black person says, ‘Are y’all ready to have the Keke Palmer Conversation?,’ what happened in your group chat and what happens here every time I say it, It happens every time.”
Hill asked, “Is it because we watched her grow up and we love her so much? People don’t want to have uncomfortable conversations about her?” Love quipped, “That is not ‘Akeelah & The Bee.’ That is Keke Palmer.”
After Hill revealed that he first learned of the situation with Palmer in a group chat with his co-hosts, Budden said, “Listen, I’ve been saying it for… I’m the wrong person to do it because of my checkered past.” Love added:
“I’m going to look into it though because I give my opinion for real. I like Keke Palmer and I give my real opinion. I didn’t notice that and I believe that about Trey Songz. I believe that about her baby daddy. But I do think it’s bullsh*t to do that to somebody because… And in turn, that’s like somebody interviewing her baby father, how would Chrisean Rock feel about that? I like Blueface too.”
Joe Budden continued to slam Keke Palmer and said, “She’s a weirdo. She’s a weirdo. I don’t even have… Yeah. She’s just a weirdo.” Love agreed, “Yeah, it’s just weird.” Budden added a disclaimer:
“And that’s okay. I’m a weirdo. Everybody has their own type of weird. You just got to find the weirds that you’re compatible with and the weirds that you’re not. She’s not. That’s not my type of weird. But go her.”
