In the long run, Budden prolonged an apology for his remarks however couldn’t resist taking one other swipe on the R&B sensation within the course of.
“In an trade that traditionally has not been nice to ladies, now isn’t the time for any girl on the market to really feel like they’re below assault, unheard, or not seen, and if I’ve ever added that, I need to do my greatest to alter the trajectory. So, shoutout to Ari Lennox,” he stated.
Budden then proceeded to accuse Lennox of attempting “to demean and defame a Black man whereas summoning the powers universally of Black ladies.” In a following episode, the controversial podcaster referred to the Washington, D.C., native as “a bag of fuckin’ combined nuts.”
