Joe Budden has slammed Saweetie for releasing a new song that cryptically addresses rumors about herself rather than directly addressing the rumors that she slept with Offset.
Joe goes off on Saweetie for dropping the new song "Don't Say Nothin'," which he refers to as freestyle, and refusing to say whether or not the rumor surrounding her and Offset is true in a new episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, which was released on Sunday (Nov. 20).
"Saweetie gotta shut the fuck up," Joe Budden said. "Come on, let's just get to it. I don't got time to play today. Saweetie gotta shut the fuck up. That's my take."
"I'm not listening to Saweetie until she answers the question everybody waitin' for her to answer," he continued. "Did you fuck Offset or not? That's it."
Budden agreed with his cohosts that the timing of the release of the new song was unfortunate given the death of Takeoff. "Well, that's why whatever she was saying in that freestyle was horrible timing," he continued. "That's not the time for freestyle. Because I didn't hear anything directed toward Quavo from what I heard. I can't stop thinking about Lil Baby. I keep hearing the song "Lil Baby." And, like last time, I believe people are conflating it with Quavo.
"But either way, it ain't the time for confusion. It ain't the time for none of that after they just lost they brother and nephew. They ain't time for that. Sorry, Saweetie. Push it back. You been quiet. You been quiet. No need to shake the table. I hate hip-hop. And did you fuck dude or not?"
Saweetie responded to what Joe Budden said on Twitter Tuesday. "saweetie needs to STFU????? ok joelisha 😍," she tweeted.

Saweetie did not actually mention any names like Lil Baby or Offset, both of whom she's been linked to this year, on "Don't Say Nothin'," which dropped last Friday (Nov. 18), but she does query why men are "always speakin' on who I'm fuckin' on?"
"Why niggas always speakin' on who I'm fuckin' on?/ He must've got excited when I FaceTimed with nothin' on," Saweetie raps. "Them same lips that's yappin' be the ones I nutted on/ A hunnid K, please, know how much paper I be touchin' on?/ That's light, better check my net worth/ Post a pic' in his sweatshirt, I bet it have my ex hurt/That's what I get for kissin' on these frogs/He got mad and told my business to the blogs."
Saweetie and Lil Baby were thought to be dating after her separation with Quavo last year. Then, in October, fans assumed Quavo was referring to Saweetie sleeping with Offset when he said on the song "Messy," "Bitch fucked my dawg behind my back, but I ain't stressin' (Not at all)/You wanted the gang, you shoulda just said it, we would have blessed it (You shoulda just said it)/Now shit got messy (Uh)."
