Joyner Lucas is ready to step up the mic after Skepta dropped his “Friendly Fire” diss track. The U.K. rapper took shots at Lucas, questioning his style and claiming that American bars fall short next to London rhymes. Lucas wasted no time. On social media, he dropped a clip saying, “Alright, say less, my boy.” That bold statement set the stage for a potential battle: a true face-off between U.K. and U.S. talent.
Initially, Skepta mocked Lucas by calling him a “joke” and challenging his ability to consistently produce hits. Lucas, known for his quick wit and sharp delivery, responded with anticipation. He teased his fans and the music scene by hinting at a forthcoming retort. Meanwhile, Skepta showed a brief nod of respect. He admitted in a candid Instagram Story that he planned to reply. This back-and-forth adds heat to an already lively transatlantic exchange.
Additionally, industry heavyweight Drake stirred the pot further at Wireless Festival. He praised London’s lyricists while indirectly sparking more debate about national talent. Lucas laughed at Drake’s comments, amplifying the stakes. Now, excitement grows as fans wait for Joyner Lucas to deliver his counter-diss. This unfolding drama not only lights up social media but also reaffirms hip hop’s raw energy and competitive spirit.
