Budden, who has been vocal in his criticism of Drake, recently took to his podcast to attack the Toronto rapper, accusing him of manipulation and causing personal rifts behind the scenes.

During a particularly intense segment, Budden slammed Drake with a series of harsh accusations. 

"He's a selfish, lying, manipulative, sack of st who has made enemies for 15 years and now, we're here at the fing boiling point," Budden declared. 

"You've been behind the scenes being the biggest sack of st you can possibly be. I'm not here to fing play games with you nas. Nas know what it is out there. [...] You have been behind the scenes hitting nas baby moms, sending money to nas baby moms. You been back and sending messages to this na's wife, talking st about fing, 'Aye, but this na's mom died. Aye, all that's cool but where my beat at, na. I don't give a fk that your mom died.' This n*a's been a sack of st behind the scenes and because he got fans and had Lucian, everybody just gets to turn a blind eye. The blind eye days are done."

The comments sparked outrage among Drake's fans and family members, prompting a quick response from Dennis Graham.

This isn’t the first time Dennis Graham has come to his son's defense against Joe Budden. Last year, Graham expressed his frustration with Budden’s remarks, calling it "a fing shame that a young artist can’t do his own thing and enjoy his glory without an old hater motherfer trying to bust his bubble because he has nothing going on." 

He added, "And to mention or put a limit on what age anyone should be dealing with which is none of his goddamn business as long as they’re of legal age."
