Joe Budden and Adam22 may occupy the same space these days as popular online broadcasters but only one of these men has a history as an elite lyricist. That face didn’t stop Adam22 from taking shots at Joe Budden in a recent cipher session, but the self-proclaimed “Podzilla” responded as only he could.
Adam22, the host of the No Jumper podcast and YouTube show, shared clips of a cipher featuring all the hosts from his network with an emphasis on his bar work. Although we’ve never heard the host — real name Adam Grandmaison — rap before, he at least remained on beat and sounded as comfortable as he could considering his displayed skill level.
In the actual track, Adam22 doesn’t waste any time in going at Budden, who has since long retired from rapping to focus on his podcast empire. The pair have also crossed paths and in one of their chats, things got tense when Budden pressed the fledgling MC about his past dating history.
“‘Pump It Up’ the last time I heard Joe rap/That old ass throwback finally got his gold plaque,” Adam said over the trap-styled beat, referring to a moment when Budden received an RIAA-certified gold plaque to commemorate the classic single officially selling over 500,000 copies.
In response, the Podfather, another self-coined nickname, took to X, formerly Twitter, and didn’t pay the jabs too much attention, writing “LOL” in a quote reply on the social media network.
Adam aside, it’s tough out here for a lot of folks… do everything you can.

He then followed that reply with, “Adam aside, it’s tough out here for a lot of folks… do everything you can.”
One could imagine that this will get traction on both Adam22’s No Jumper podcast and The Joe Budden Podcast over the weekend.
