In a heated exchange that has sent shockwaves through the podcasting community, N.O.R.E. has labeled Stephen Jackson a “hater” for his criticisms of N.O.R.E.’s recent comments on the podcast landscape. During a recent appearance on Joe Budden’s podcast, N.O.R.E. stirred controversy by asserting that only a few podcasts, including his own, truly matter in the hip-hop sphere. This bold declaration ignited a firestorm, with Jackson responding online and challenging N.O.R.E.’s dismissive remarks about other creators in the industry.
In a passionate defense, N.O.R.E. insisted that his words were misinterpreted and that he was merely acknowledging his own platform’s impact. “I can’t get hurt, right?” he stated, dismissing Jackson’s concerns. However, many fans and fellow podcasters have taken issue with N.O.R.E.’s comments, arguing that they undermine the hard work of countless creators striving to make their mark.
The tension escalated as Jackson, who has previously praised the contributions of various podcasts, expressed disappointment over N.O.R.E.’s claims. “If you have a problem, you should handle it directly,” Jackson remarked, emphasizing the importance of unity within the podcasting community. The fallout from this exchange has sparked widespread debate, with listeners weighing in on social media, calling for accountability and respect among podcasters.
As the feud continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the podcasting world is watching closely. Will N.O.R.E. and Jackson reconcile, or will this clash deepen the divide among hip-hop podcasters? Stay tuned as this story develops, and the stakes rise in the battle for podcast supremacy.
