The rap world is buzzing after Skepta dropped a scathing response to Joyner Lucas, proving he’s not someone to underestimate. Joyner recently claimed that Skepta “wants to be American so bad, he stays in the States,” but Skepta’s reply makes it clear that he is proud of his roots and doesn’t need validation from anyone.

Skepta Defends His Identity
In his diss track, Skepta confidently shuts down Joyner’s claim about wanting to be American, pointing out his pride as a British-Nigerian artist. He raps:
“I don’t wish I was anything else
I’m a British-Nigerian Black man
Why would I wish I was you
When you wanna be Eminem
Blvd, you’re the Black Stan
You’re just a fan, so I’m spinnin’ you round,
Then I’m sitting you down.”
This bar not only defends his identity but also calls out Joyner for allegedly trying to mimic Eminem, labeling him as a “Black Stan.”
Throwing Shots at Joyner’s Past Rap Battles
Skepta didn’t stop there. He took direct aim at Joyner’s battle history with Tory Lanez, suggesting Tory actually came out on top during their heated exchange:
“Tory don’t care, he was beating you senseless
The gloves came off, sent you to the dentist
With your own flow, hit you in the liver — you’re legless
You wanna label me anything? Call me relentless
K⁰ll you by myself — I don’t need the Avengers.”
This line was a heavy shot, reminding Joyner that he’s faced challenges in rap battles before and that Skepta doesn’t need a team or backup to take him down.
No Help Needed from UK Heavyweights
Skepta also made it clear that he stands alone and doesn’t need support from other UK stars like Dave or Central Cee to address Joyner. His confidence shows that he is prepared to handle this feud entirely on his own terms.
Will Joyner Lucas Respond?
The big question on fans’ minds is whether Joyner Lucas will fire back or let Skepta’s diss stand unchallenged. Joyner is known for his lyrical skills and has previously engaged in memorable rap battles, but Skepta’s sharp delivery and direct shots may put the ball in Joyner’s court.
Did Tory Lanez Really Beat Joyner?
The reference to Joyner’s clash with Tory Lanez has also reignited old debates among fans. Many still argue about who truly won that lyrical exchange, and Skepta’s comments have brought that rivalry back into the spotlight.
