After apologising for all the way he ambushed Ari during their interview, MacG threw heavy shade in the direction of the American rapper-turned-podcaster.
Their beef started when Joe labelled MacG a "shock jock", which left him hot under the collar. In an interview on Higher Learning Podcast with Van Lathan and Rachel Lindsay, the South African media personality left a message for Joe, reports ZAlebs.
"Please tell Joe Budden I am not a shock jock dawg, I am a broadcaster, I've been doing this longer than him."
