If you check out the Joe Budden Podcast, then you may be familiar with the fact that his co-hosts, Rory and Mal took a break from the show a while back. Apparently, all 3 men were good friends and needed that break and a littler therapy as well to get their friendship on the right track. Also, it seemed Mal’s allegiance to Rory caused a strain on his connection with Joe but that they were still good friends as well. The guys made their return with Joe a few weeks ago and things seemed okay, but nope. According to Hip Hop Wired, in episode 437, which was uploaded and later deleted, Joe laid out things from his vantage point despite noting that there was some of the magic still left but it wasn’t enough. A user on The Joe Budden Podcast Reddit page, broke things down about the beef between Joe and Rory and said it was over money and contracts. But the guys claimed it wasn't that, but just the respect between the men. And it seems like Joe threatened to sue the guys if they start their own podcast too soon.
