Skepta Finally Gets a Response;Joyner Lucas Drops Nobody Cares

Joyner Lucas teased that his response to Skepta was on the way, and he didn’t waste much time. He hinted that his reply was imminent and quickly stepped into the booth to drop his relentless “Nobody Cares” diss track on Tuesday (July 15).

The Massachusetts rapper keeps throwing shots at Skepta throughout the track, asserting that the U.K. rapper has lost popularity at home and is washed up. “And after I defeat you, I don’t want to hear you mentioning my name anymore,” Lucas raps. “I bet you sit in your room and secretly wish you were American.”

Joyner dismisses Skepta’s lyrical talent and mainstream appeal. “I never heard anyone tell me to play that Skepta stuff," he says with a dismissive tone. Lucas encourages Skepta to collaborate with other U.K. rappers such as Dave and Central Cee for help, while mocking Skepta's connection with Drake.

“Nobody cares about how you and Drizzy are close/ Or how you invented U.K. rap but still ain’t top 10 on your coast, n—a,” he continues to unload the clip for three minutes of round fire.

The cover art shows Lucas wearing a ski mask and a jacket that’s half of the U.K. flag, while the other half clashes with a patterned American flag. He also sports chains with pendants representing the Ruff Ryders and Cash Money Records.

Fans seem to be receptive to Joyner Lucas’ reply. “Joyner woke up and chose Tea and crumpet with a rifle,” one fan commented on the track’s YouTube section.

Joyner’s response comes four days after Skepta released the sharp “Friendly Fire,” where he took shots at Lucas for not being a hitmaker and called him a “joke” in the U.S. “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,” Skepta raps.

The origin of the feud seemed to be sparked by the U.K.-U.S. rap debate, with Drake weighing in by taking London’s side. “No disrespect to America, but nobody in the world can outrap London rappers,” he told the Wireless Festival.
