Joyner Lucas has returned fire at Skepta with new diss track "Nobody Cares".
On the song, Lucas throws a number of sharp jabs at his London rival, rapping: "I bet you sit in your room and secretly wish that you were American."
He also spits: "Nobody cares about how you and Drizzy are close / Or how you invented UK rap but still ain't top 10 on your coast, n-gga."
Lucas also mocked Skepta as being washed up: "I wanna know what drugs you taking and what do you take me for / Maybe you mad 'cause you ain't got buzz up in the UK no more / I heard your career just ain't what it was and you don't get paid no more / If you wanna fеature, nigga, just say it, but you gotta pay me for it / And after I body you, I don't want you еver saying my name anymore."
The track is a response to Skepta's "Friendly Fire" where he spat: "Where I'm from, I'm a GOAT / Where you're from, you're a joke / SK turn you to a ghost, yo / Talkin' like you're lyrical miracle, oh please / Where I come from, that's a default speed."
He also rapped: "Joyner Lucas, you bastard / Why you rap like you studied at Harvard? / Catch him outside and move to him, heartless / Cuts, bruises, and plasters / If I see him on tour in London, I jump on stage and move to his dancers."
The cross Atlantic feud kicked off when Skepta declared that UK rappers were better than their American counterparts.
Lucas took that as a sign Skepta wanted to battle with the Londoner replying: "Hey Jonah, I wasn't even gonna reply back but I'm a rapper's rapper. I'm gonna respect the fact that you stood up and said something. The first man, you get me? But this is just another example of the ignorance. Jonah, if you was from the UK, fam? Quiet, bro, understand?"
Drake also inserted himself into the feud and backed up Skepta's original statement, commenting: "London rappers are the best lyricists in the world. No disrespect to America, but nobody in the world can outrap London rappers," a response which Lucas found hilarious as he simply commented on social media with a laughing emoji.
