On a recent episode of Joe Budden’s podcast, “Artist 2 Artist” podcast that he was discussing about the higher costs of that are now in the strip clubs. Even saying that he brings his own dollar bills to avoid atm fees. From discussing challenges that they face as current artists, Jim Jones also said “I still stand on that, rap is the most dangerous job in the world”. Joe Budden continuing on the subject of the money and cost in the strip club he said, “I come in there with my own bag, or bags sometimes, because of how they tax you in the strip club,” he said. Jones then added: “They’re definitely taking, like, $8 to $10 off every $100 pack.” Continuing to add more on what seems as an annoyance to him, and expressing his feelings about the influx of prices saying, “No! They’re taking $20 to $30 off every $100 pack,” Budden continued. “Then you’re going to hit the ATM, they’re gonna bang you there…It’s too many different ways. Then you’re gonna get food. Then the alcohol is not real alcohol, and they tax you on that. When, as adults, do we, as wealthy adults, say, ‘You know what? Nah!'”.
It is clear that Joe Budden is not exactly happy when it comes to the price increase. While also on the episode he affirmed that Melyssa Ford had left the podcast. That while there is no straight answer, but that he still respects and cares for her. He said this touching on the subject, “Melyssa stepped away and Mel was negotiating for quite some time. Shout out to Melyssa. We love her.”
