Whoever leaked that shit is beyond fucked up. Most dudes would end up committing suicide from being outed in such a manner. I’m glad people supported him. This could’ve gone a whole different way. This man’s music is all that matters, let him do what he wants

[TheTouchdownWithDougSmith]

Joe Budden was disappointed when he found out he was in a relationship 😂

[young]

Man, bros music got me through some of the hardest times of my life up to this point. I don’t care what he prefers 🤷🏻‍♂️ he’s a human like the rest of us trying to figure out this life for himself. It’s just another chapter in the book

[DenisR-vr]

Did not expect this level of respect from Joe. He was really well-spoken and polite this whole conversation.

[basedmatcha]

"So you arent monogamous?" *Joe licks his lips*

[DivoCapella]

This whole experience was good for him. It showed him how beloved he is by the rap community

[herby]

I'm glad he is free to be himself and people still support him, Its still disgusting that a person would go a try to sabotage him like that.

[nosihctadraner]

Now that I think about it, it all makes more sense now.. His lyrics were always cryptic like someone who wanted to tell you something but didn't wanna come straight out and say it

[parrisxann]

So happy for him, it takes a lot of strength and confidence to speak out loud about something that is basically taboo in his industry. Wish him love and peace.

[TzaTed]

He’s been through a lot recently. Head up king

[sleepdaslumking]

His sexuality doesn’t change his talent. Still a dope ass rapper as far as I’m concerned.

[johngladman]

As I fan of Rashad I was disappointed for like 5 seconds. But then I was like for what? Dudes music is dope and has got me through a lot of late night rides home when I was was trying to figure things out. Thank you for staying true.

[jusbe]

The music industry is so evil, Zay is handling this very well.

[jonathancineus]

Joe Budden couldn’t wait to be the first to tap this interview (pause). He was low-key flirting the entire time and asking question that *we the people* never asked. This interview was really for Joe himself, it’s clear he tryina smash.

[otzenfree]

I'm so out of touch with media, he's one of my favorite current rappers and I heard nothing of this. But it makes no difference, fantastic artist

[Rizzlyricist]

The whole music industry in a nutshell (pause).

[marqueesound]

Glad to see that this man is living his truth. Good for him

[dandyung]

I dont understand why people worry about who other people take to bed ...

[greendro]

So he's basically pansexual hey Isaiah Rashad you be you and keep on making dope music.

[Pericles]

Finally someone who understands and can clearly explain this mindset. Not letting what everyone else around you tell you what you’re supposed to like.
