It’s official; Joe Budden is leaving “Everyday Struggle.”

Joe Budden confirmed his exit from Complex’s daily show “Everyday Struggle” on Tuesday, citing internal issues on the production’s end and inability to create.

Recently, the rapper’s been absent from the show and has been replaced by guests co-hosts like DJ Whoo Kid, who erroneously attributed Budden’s departure to paternity leave. Though he and Love & Hip Hop star Cyn Santana recently welcomed their first child, Budden shut down that claim.

"Joe Budden is not continuing as a host on Everyday Struggle in 2018," Complex told Billboardon Tuesday. "The show will be back in the New Year with all new episodes and guests… We love and respect him; we believe he's terrific but the reality is we couldn't reach an agreement.”

Since its premiere in April, “Everyday Struggle” has garnered a steady following of fans as Budden and co-hosts Nadeska Alexis and DJ Akademiks would debate hot topics in hip-hop.

No word on who will replace him, but Budden’s presence may have been the show’s saving grace.
