Joyner Lucas Escalates UK-US Rap Feud With Diss Track

An intense transatlantic rap feud has ignited between UK rapper Skepta and American rapper Joyner Lucas, centered on claims of lyrical supremacy between UK and US rap scenes. Skepta initiated the battle with his diss track "Friendly Fire," asserting UK rappers' dominance and targeting Joyner Lucas as a "joke." In response, Joyner Lucas released "Nobody Cares," a sharp rebuttal that mocks Skepta's status, legacy, and his friendship with Drake, who had recently praised London rappers. Fans and commentators are divided on who won the initial exchanges, with some favoring Skepta's confident jabs and others applauding Joyner's technical prowess and rapid-fire punchlines. The rivalry highlights ongoing debates about regional rap styles and lyrical skill, though some voices call for collaboration rather than conflict. Both rappers appear to be holding back their best material, suggesting the feud may escalate further.
