Yung Joc addressed the viral clip in which Mehgan James asks him how he has been able to “sustain a 20-year career off of one-hit” on the Hollywood Groupchat podcast.
Joc told the Shade Room that, even though he considered the remark to be “below the belt,” he ultimately decided to answer the question in an effort to “break it down” for her. The “It’s Goin’ Down” rapper admitted he isn’t a stranger to receiving shade.
“It’s just y’all got a chance to see it from somebody y’all may not be as familiar with, so it’s like, ‘Oh, the nerve,’” he said. “And that’s how I felt too.”
James shared a comment on her Instagram Stories questioning how men can use the “SAME exact humor and energy as Mehgan,” but seemingly only get upset when it’s coming from a woman.
She then called out Funny Marco for commenting that he should have been the one who interviewed Yung Joc.
Joc also spoke on James comparing herself to Funny Marco, saying the latter utilizes a different approach that he’s “gotten down to a science.” After conceding that Mehgan may have figured out her own comedic style, the Atlanta native admitted that she may have brought up a “valid question.”
Yung Joc said he will no longer appear on podcasts going forward, unless it’s hosted by someone he actually likes.
