Joyner Lucas Delivers Knockout Blow in Transatlantic Rap Feud with Skepta
So here's the latest chapter in what's shaping up to be one of the most entertaining rap beefs of the year: Joyner Lucas just dropped a scathing diss track titled "Round 2 K.O." — and, let’s just say, he did not hold back. This whole thing started with Skepta tossing out a challenge to American rappers, saying he wanted to finally settle the UK vs US rap debate once and for all. He even aimed that first shot at A$AP Rocky, but when Rocky didn’t respond, Joyner Lucas stepped up like, “Say less.”

Skepta took the bait and dropped a track called “Friendly Fire.” Lucas fired back with “Nobody Cares,” throwing shade on Skepta’s relevance and taking direct aim at his career trajectory. Skepta came back harder with “Round 2,” and that’s when Joyner really snapped. He dropped “Round 2 K.O.” — and it lives up to the title.
In Round 2 K.O. , Joyner essentially dismantles Skepta from top to bottom. He mocks Skepta’s alleged fall-off, takes jabs at his style, even drags A$AP Rocky and Drake into it, claiming Skepta’s been chasing their co-signs and swagger-jacking all along. One of the harshest lines? Joyner suggests Skepta’s music doesn’t even register in his own country anymore. And he didn’t stop there — he accused Skepta of turning his back on UK grime culture and throwing grime pioneer Wiley under the bus. That’s a bold claim, especially in a scene where loyalty runs deep.
He even brought Giggs into it, saying even the UK legend can’t stand Skepta’s recent work. Then there's the wild fashion digs — yeah, Joyner goes there too, questioning Skepta’s style and masculinity in one of the more vicious verses of the track. It’s brutal, it’s theatrical, and it’s very, very personal.
But what’s interesting is how divided the fans are. Some folks are calling Joyner the clear lyrical winner, saying no UK rapper could match that level of intensity. Others, though, feel like he went too far — or just didn’t deliver as clean a knockout as he claimed.
Regardless, this feud’s gone way beyond just music. It’s turned into a cultural tug-of-war — a lyrical border war between US swagger and UK grime pride. And with both artists still holding mics, don’t be surprised if we see a Round 3 sometime soon.
