Joe Budden is convinced Megan Thee Stallion sent a stray his way among the many coded lyrics on her massive new single “Hiss.”
The rapper and podcaster spoke on The Joe Budden Show about the new song, saying, “I’ve been scraping my head all morning trying to figure out who been dancing to R. Kelly recently. Then it hit me like a bag of bricks. Well, my girl told me. That was us!”
He added with a laugh, “Don’t quote me, but I think that she’s dissing us.”
The line in question goes, “I can never be judged by a bitch that was dancing, making R. Kelly go viral.”

“Hiss” has been ginning up a ton of controversy since it was released on Friday (January 26). It was also assumed that the “Cobra” rapper took a shot at Drake on the song.
During the second verse of her new single, the Houston dynamo raps, “These n-ggas hate on BBLs and be walkin’ around with the same scars/ Real curvy, no edging, n-ggas fight to get in my section/ Don’t speak on my body count if the dick ain’t worth coming back for seconds.”
She adds, “Cosplay gangsters, fake-ass accents/ Posted in another n-gga hood like a bad bitch.”
Hip Hop media types and fans alike immediately began speculating who the bars were directed at, and focused in on one superstar in particular.
“Why they saying Meg tried to respond to Drake w these bars,” Akademiks asked in an Instagram post on Friday (January 26). “Yall think these meant for the [goat] Or na,” he added, using the goat emoji.
One user commented on Megan’s official Instagram post of the single, “The way you whacked a couple of people! We running it back again and again!” Another account simply added, “GAGGED THAT CANADIAN.”
Tina Snow called into The Breakfast Club this morning to clarify who the song is about.
“It’s for these bitches and hoes, bitches and hoes alike, men or women,” she said. “Every time one of these motherfuckers uses Megan Thee Stallion name, they get 24 hours of attention.
“Basically, I understand what y’all doing, and I want y’all to get up off me. Use something else. Do something different. Use another tactic. This one getting old.”
