Angela Rye caught the attention of cast members of The Joe Budden Podcast after she recently critiqued the program in a recent episode of the Native Land Pod. After originally titling the episode, “Joe Budden and the Dumbing Down of America,” Angela Rye apologized for the show’s title, although one of her co-hosts stood their ground with their criticism of Budden’s massive broadcast.
In the episode now titled “Do We Need to Talk About Black Intellectualism?,” Angela Rye and her co-hosts Tiffany Cross, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers got into a debate regarding a heated exchange from The Joe Budden Podcast co-hosts Marc Lamont Hill and Trevor “QueenzFlip” Robinson.
Hop the 24:00-minute mark to hear the Native Land Pod discussion on Hill’s place on the JBP.
Cross raised the idea that the dustup between Hill and Robinson was a battle of wit and ego, acknowledging that the longtime professor and journalist is more than what some might assume. Cross also feels that, because of Hill’s pedigree in education and journalism that he shouldn’t be a member of Budden’s successful media network.

Budden, along with co-host and longtime friend Antwan “Ish” Marby, addressed the Native Land Pod critique, with Marby making certain to mention that Robinson is successful in his craft despite what observers might feel is lowbrow content from the Queens native. Budden followed and pondered what inspired the jabs from Native Land Pod and stated clearly that Hill never positions himself as the smartest man in the room, although the cast acknowledges his accomplishments in their own way.
After some heated discussions across social media, Angela Rye apologized to the JBP for the previous episode title during an episode where Charlamagne Tha God joined Native Land Pod and essentially defended the cast from the critiques. For what it’s worth, Cross stayed true to her stances and didn’t waver.
Catching wind of Charlamagne’s appearance on Native Land Pod, Budden thanked The Breakfast Club co-host for his defense of his team.
New JBP co-host Mona, aka Don’t Call Me White Girl, suggested that Angela Rye visit the show, while Budden aggressively dismissed Cross, calling her a “nobody,” but Hill stepped up to defend one of his media colleagues.

Dr. Marc Lamont Hill was a guest on Piers Morgan Uncensored this week to discuss Shiloh Hendrix, the woman who called a Black boy the n-word and launched a fundraiser and gaining over $700,00. Piers Morgan urged a white guest panelist to use the N-word in front of Marc Lamont Hill, who stopped the act and framed it as an attack.
Marc Lamont Hill shared the clip in question on his Instagram account at the exact moment where Morgan tried to get cultural commentator Lilly Gaddis to say the N-word. Gaddis has been supportive of Hendrix and says she uses the N-word slur frequently herself.
Morgan, with a grin, asked Gaddis repeatedly to say the slur before Hill jumped ahead of her and said that he would not be subjected to the verbal assault on the program. Ahead of that moment, Gaddis attempts to illustrate that her use of the N-word slur is part of her right to free speech, which made Hill grimace in the video.
As Hill blasted Morgan for the stunt, he also threw fellow panelist and Fresh and Fit Podcast co-host Myron Gaines under the bus and referred to Gaines as an “Uncle Tom.”
Here is what Hill had to say about the moment on Instagram:
The other day, I was asked to appear on Piers Morgan to discuss the recent fundraising campaign for the white woman who used the N-word against a five-year-old autistic Black child. It wasn’t until the show started that I realized I’d be sharing space with Myron Gaines (racist, misogynist, antisemite who pretends to be a Black American) and Lilly Gaddis, a proudly self-proclaimed racist who admits to frequently using the N-word. At the end of our debate, Piers dared her to use the N-word on the show. While I understand that his intention was to expose her as a racist —and get ratings for shock value— I felt compelled to shut it down.
