The outlet plans to continue churning out new episodes with special guests in the new year and didn’t reveal any plans for a replacement just yet.
In a series of tweets, Budden aired his grievances with the show, tweeting, “I created that show… I’ll create another if need be… & another & another….. it’s when u CANT create that you move WITHOUT integrity….”
“I am not on paternity & they should stop using my 3 day old child to mask internal chaos, thx,” he replied to DJ Whoo Kid, who recently appeared on the show.
