Jennings is apparently tight with rapper Joe Budden and Budden does a bit of his own web streaming. Jennings' Twitter page (before it was taken down) had a mention of trying to get on Joe Budden TV, the rapper's live video feed. You can see a cached version of the page here, including a few tweets that mention Budden by name.
Two separate videos were posted on YouTube by user TotalReviewNet, which have since been taken down, where you can hear someone who is allegedly Jennings on speakerphone talking to Budden about a variety of topics. Without being able to see the videos, you probably lose some of that context that it's two close friends, really saying things in private, but once you put that stuff out there for the world on a web cam, it's out there for anyone to interpret however they'd like. (Update: I neglected to make this point right here in the post that Shoals and I discussed at length over the phone. The whole thing is almost so candid that you sort of wonder whether he even knew he was being broadcasted. Got a note from a friend who reminded me to make that point. Carry on. -- 6:38 a.m. ET)
Give the conversation a read through :p
