Joe Budden Under Fire For Claiming He Hates BTS “For No Reason” And Calling The Members Chinese
American media personality and former rapper Joe Budden is under fire for his comments about BTS after their performance at the 64th GRAMMYs (also known as the 2022 GRAMMYs).
On the April 6 episode of Joe Budden’s podcast, The Joe Budden Podcast, he recapped the GRAMMY Awards and revealed his feelings about BTS by saying, “I hate them BTS n***as.”
When his co-hosts, Ice and Ish, told him he was “wildin'” and asked why he hated BTS, Joe Budden asked if he needed a reason to hate them. His co-hosts told him that BTS’s music was actually good, but he doubled down on his hatred of BTS. He also mistakenly said that BTS was from China.
I don’t want to hear that s**t. I don’t want to see them dance moves. I don’t want to see you come down from the sky in a little umbrella. I don’t want to see your four f***ing codies come from the audience and then link up like Voltron to do all of the 98 Degrees moves. I don’t want to see none of that s**t. I don’t want to see it. I know they big, I know it’s China, I don’t want to see it.

When his co-hosts reminded him that BTS was actually from South Korea, Joe Budden referred to them as Korea*NSYNC, which was a reference to the American boy band *NSYNC. Then, he wondered out loud why people can’t hate popular music acts without giving a reason why. He asked, “Why do y’all think that because a group is big or an act is big, and they’re talented that you can’t hate them?”
Once again, his co-hosts stated that he should be able to point to a reason for hating BTS if he was going to hate them. They stated that it was “disgusting” to hate someone for no reason.
When ARMYs found out about what Joe Budden said on his podcast, they took to Twitter to express their disapproval of his comments.
joe budden pulling shit about bts out his ass, but he sure knew every little detail of their grammy performance.
that's a lot of attention paid to someone you supposedly "hate" for no goddamn reason.

i mean… there’s nothing wrong with not liking BTS, everyone has different music tastes and all 🤷🏽♀️… but the ignorant comments he made was just so unnecessary.

Just heard the Joe Budden podcast clip of him hating BTS. Just say you are racist and xenophobic, alot quicker than claiming you hate them but " don't need to have a reason". Shut the fuck up. They are more successful than you will ever be. Continue to be jealous.
