Migos vs. Joe Budden
The BET Awards walk-off and “Ice Tray”
A misfired BET Awards red-carpet question about Takeoff’s role on “Bad and Boujee” ends with Joe Budden dropping his mic as both camps rise. Migos later name Budden on “Ice Tray”; Budden answers on Everyday Struggle, and the event becomes a closed cultural flashpoint.
