Jemele Hill Responds to Content Creators Who Said Joe Budden Dodged the Fat Joe Controversy

Jemele Hill pushed back on content creators criticizing Joe Budden and his co-hosts for not addressing the controversy surrounding Fat Joe.

Hill argued that people should not force every podcast or creator to cover serious political and social issues simply because they have a large audience. Instead, she pointed people toward creators who already specialize in those conversations.

She specifically said people should support Marc Lamont Hill, Joy Reid, Don Lemon, Roland Martin — and herself if they want more serious news and political analysis.

Her argument was essentially: Joe Budden should be allowed to stay in his lane, while audiences should support the independent creators already doing the type of commentary they’re looking for.
