American rapper Joyner Lucas reacted to UK Rap legend Skepta’s diss track titled “Friendly fire”.
Joyner started the video from the point Skepta labelled him a “Bastard” who raps like he “studied at Harvard” and he surprisingly seemed amused by the comment.
Joyner then seemed expressionless as Skepta ripping into him and ended the video when the Grime pioneer said “he’s too focused on his clothes”.

The American is still yet to respond with a diss track at the time of writing.
This rap clash started when Skepta ignited the UK Rap vs US Rap debate where we see Joyner retweet Skepta’s tweet saying he’s been waiting for this moment his whole life.
1st ššæ youāre a brave man Jonah.

How long you been waiting for this moment though? https://t.co/6P6euSNtME
The north London rapper then cheekily followed up saying āI didnāt do all the work I did just for Joyner Lucas to be saying my nameā.
Skepta responds to Joyner Lucas calling him out for a clash:

āYou make up the numbers out thereā
āWhen I make my diss track for [A$AP] Rocky Iām gonna give you 2 barsā

Skepta released “Friendly fire” three days ago and Joyner hasn’t responded.
Is Joyner on his level?
