Joe Budden is catching some smoke after calling Tyla out for refusing to dance with Usher.

Joe Budden calls Tyla out

Following her win at the recent MTV VMAs, it appears that Tyla rubbed some Americans the wrong way with her "entitled uppity African" vibes.

One such American is veteran rapper, Joe Budden, who addressed an incident in which Tyla attended a party hosted by Usher and got to share a dance with the Let It Burn hitmaker.

What apparently ticked Budden off was Tyla's playful refusal to dance with Usher, and said the 22-year-old singer was disrespectful of American culture:

"Once you hit the stage as a performer and your song is on, and a legend is trying to highlight you, there is a way to do what you did without being nasty."

Like Emtee, Joe claims that he caught a vibe from Tyla that made him believe she was disrespectful.
