In the midst a rant about and how he seemingly “needs” the hip-hop and R&B communities to thrive these days, a fan asked Joe Budden to quit whining about the pop star and tell Banks to drop some new music. Surprisingly enough, the podcaster actually responded and his reply was favorable. 

“He cookin,” wrote Budden, in response to a fan who begged for Lloyd Banks to drop something. While this isn’t as credible as a tweet from the man himself, Budden’s ties to Banks lead us to believe there’s definitely some truth behind this. Budden is one the most knowledgable men in the industry and he holds tons secrets about what’s really going on behind-the-scenes. Maybe he’s been in the studio with Banks?
