Joyner Lucas Replies to Skepta With Fiery ‘Nobody Cares’ Diss Track: ‘We Don’t Play Your S—t in the States’

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

The Massachusetts rapper continues to pepper Skepta with jabs across the track, while claiming the U.K. rhymer has lost his buzz back home and he’s washed up. “And after I body you, I don’t want you saying my name anymore,” Lucas raps. “I bet you sit in your room and secretly wish that you were American.”

JL clearly doesn’t respect Skepta’s pen and crossover appeal. “I never heard nobody tell me to put on that Skepta s—t,” he spews. Lucas implores Skepta to call up fellow U.K. rappers such as Dave and Central Cee for backup, and goes on to mock his friendship 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 shots.

The cover art finds Lucas draped in a ski mask and jacket that’s half of the U.K. flag while the other half clashes with a patterned American flag. He’s also rocking chains with pendants repping the Ruff Ryders and Cash Money Records.

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

Joyner’s response comes four days after Skepta unleashed the bristling “Friendly Fire,” which saw him jab 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, which Drake chimed in on by taking London’s side. “No disrespect to America, but nobody in the world can outrap London rappers,” he told the Wireless Festival crowd.
