<p>The <em>It&#8217;s Going Down </em>rapper <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/meats-for-beats-yung-joc-says-artists-exchanging-sexual-favors-for-tracks-is-very-common/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">appeared on</a> a recent episode of James&#8217; podcast, <em>The Hollywood Groupchat</em>. During their talk, the reality TV star asked Joc how he managed to sustain a career for 20 years with one hit song. He responded,<em> &#8220;well, I got more than one hit; I got hit records,&#8221; </em>and she replied, <em>&#8220;ooh, tell me about &#8217;em.&#8221; </em></p>

The former <em>Bad Girls Club </em>participant took a screenshot of Marco&#8217;s post and responded on her Instagram Story.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Bc you was in the comments talkin bout they shoulda let you interview him,&#8221; Mehgan wrote.</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Yung Joc Reacts To Mehgan James&#8217; Question In Exclusive Video</h3>
<p>Before Mehgan apologized, Yung Joc reacted to the viral backlash in an exclusive video provided to The Shade Room&#8217;s<a href="https://www.instagram.com/beedev_/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Brianne D</a>. He revealed that the interview with James was a last-minute situation and that her question had him saying, &#8220;damn.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Shawty hit me so below the belt, I was like, damn&#8230;I ain&#8217;t even come here to interview withcho a** today. You know what I mean. I really came to see somebody else and they asked me right there. Soon as she hit me with the first question, I wanted to be like girl stop playing with me, but then I said you know what? Nah. Break it down for you, know what I&#8217;m saying. I just commenced to answer the question, but I don&#8217;t even feel no shade by it. People been shading me. This ain&#8217;t nothing new. It&#8217;s just y&#8217;all got a chance to see it from somebody y&#8217;all may not be as familiar with. So it&#8217;s like&#8230;who, the nerve. I said the same thing.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Yung Joc also commented on Mehgan&#8217;s comparison to Funny Marco.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I see she compared herself to Funny Marco. You know Funny Marco that&#8217;s my broddy, he got a different approach to how he do. It&#8217;s a science to it, not saying she ain&#8217;t got no science to hers.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Joc also vowed that he&#8217;s not doing any additional podcast interviews unless he&#8217;s locked in with the hosts.</p>
