Joyner Lucas Goes Off After Skepta Claims UK Rappers Are Better
American rapper Joyner Lucas has just delivered a fiery response to Skepta’s bold claims about UK rap. His new diss track, titled Nobody Cares, takes direct shots at the British rapper and has already gone viral across social media.
Earlier, Skepta dropped a diss track called Friendly Fire, where he suggested that UK rappers could easily outshine American ones. While many fans praised Skepta’s flow, others waited to hear if anyone from the U.S. would reply.
Well, Joyner Lucas didn’t hold back.
“Nobody Cares” Blasts Skepta and UK Rap Scene
In Nobody Cares, Joyner tears into Skepta with aggressive bars and bold statements. He mocks Skepta’s ties to fellow UK rappers like Dave and Central Cee, saying:
“You should’ve hit up your friends, lil’ btch, go call up Dave and Central…”*
He also questions Skepta’s influence and relevance in the UK rap scene with another harsh line:
“Nobody cares about how you and Drizzy are close / Or how you invented UK Rap, but still ain’t top ten on your Coast, n*a!!!”
The song was released on Tuesday and has already sparked major reactions online. Many hip-hop fans say Joyner clearly outclassed Skepta with sharper lyrics and stronger delivery.
Drake’s Praise for UK Rappers Adds Fuel to the Fire
This rap beef comes just days after Canadian superstar Drake brought Skepta on stage at the Wireless Festival. Drake had proudly told fans that UK rappers are “the best in the world.”
However, Joyner’s explosive response makes it clear he doesn’t agree.
While Skepta’s track did raise eyebrows and got plenty of listens, the internet is currently leaning in Joyner’s favour. Social media is filled with posts declaring Nobody Cares as the harder diss.
What’s Next for Skepta?
Although Joyner Lucas may have won this round, fans now wait to see if Skepta will return fire. The rap battle might not be over yet.
Still, some are already joking that Skepta’s next stage might be at the Brit Awards — not the recording booth.
