Star Replaces Joe & Waste No Time Attacking Dj Akademiks Music Judgement On the First Day!!
STAR steps into Joe Budden's shoes as the new co-host on "Everyday Struggle."
And so a new, Budden-less season of Everyday Struggle begins.
There was much debate during the holiday season of 2017 over who might replace the outspoken rapper as co-host, alongside DJ Akademiks, on the popular web series that also features Nadeska Alexis as the ring leader/moderator. Budden was a force of nature on the show, getting into it with Ak and even providing some of last year's best hip-hop memes (including a Migos interview walk-off). However, that's all in the past as of today, with a new STAR being born on the Struggle set.
STAR, aka Troi Torain, is well-known as a radio shock jock, having held morning show positions at several stations in large hip-hop markets. He brings a wealth of experience to the table and should be an interesting foil for DJ Akademiks. He may not be as outwardly antagonistic as Joe Budden was in conversation but, as he puts it early on in the first episode of the new season, he's not here trying to make friends.
