Joyner Lucas has become a central figure in the rising UK vs US rap clash conversation after responding directly to Skepta’s open challenge.

Skepta, who originally proposed a series of transatlantic lyrical face-offs, posted a follow-up video where he clarified his approach to the idea and mentioned that Joyner would “get two bars” in a track primarily aimed at A$AP Rocky.

 

Joyner responded soon after with a sarcastic post, questioning why he was invited to clash only to be given a passing mention.

His reaction suggested frustration or amusement at being sidelined after stepping up, and helped further ignite the debate across fan communities on both sides of the Atlantic.

So far, no diss tracks have been released, and the interaction remains limited to social media.
