Joyner Lucas Responds to Skepta Diss Amid UK-US Rap Feud

A heated rap rivalry has intensified between UK rapper Skepta and American rapper Joyner Lucas after Skepta released the diss track "Friendly Fire," targeting Lucas with sharp lyrics questioning his relevance and skills. Joyner Lucas responded with a confident social media reaction and followed up with his own diss track "Nobody Cares," further escalating the feud. The feud originated when Skepta claimed UK rappers surpass their American counterparts, a statement that Joyner challenged, prompting a back-and-forth exchange. Drake publicly sided with Skepta, praising London rappers as the best lyricists in the world during his Wireless Festival set, a comment Lucas found amusing but did not directly counter. The rivalry has generated significant buzz on social media and among fans, with speculation about a possible formal battle rap showdown; Lucas even suggested a potential match against Meek Mill. Both artists appear poised to continue their lyrical exchanges, fueling the broader UK versus US rap debate.
