Sexxy Red is currently making waves in the music industry, especially after she collaborated with Drake on the song "Rich Baby Daddy." Yet Joe Budden recently shared his thoughts about the duo's friendship, suggesting that it's not genuine.
In an episode of his podcast, Budden suggested that the rapper is secretly "getting paid to promote Sexxy Redd." He also doubts the pair's friendship as they love posting photos together on social media.
Even though some of his co-hosts agreed with his sentiments, Trevor Robinson thinks otherwise, saying, "Quick, real, quick, real quick, you said this 'paid on somebody's deal... Is this confirmed, or is this just some inside sh-- that you are saying?" (via Uproxx)
