Skepta Says U.K. Rappers Can Outsell Americans in Battle, Joyner Lucas Fires Back

Skepta stirred the rap world by proposing a battle between U.K. and U.S. rappers, suggesting matchups like Ghetts vs. Eminem and Central Cee vs. Jack Harlow.

He even called out A$AP Rocky directly, challenging him to a lyrical face-off and promising bars instead of violence.

Joyner Lucas quickly accepted the challenge, stepping up as the first American to respond, reigniting the cross-Atlantic debate.

Skepta welcomed the response but warned Joyner not to expect much, teasing just “two bars” before letting a younger U.K. rapper handle the rest.

This clash taps into grime’s deep-rooted clash culture and tests how it stacks up against American battle rap tradition.

The online buzz is massive, with fans already debating hypothetical matchups and awaiting the first diss track.

Skepta’s challenge might mark the beginning of a new era in global hip hop rivalry.
