UPDATE**

Joey dropped his vague response to everyone dissing him

I figured we might as well consolidate the battle into one thread and update it as we go. Here's a brief summary of what has happened so far.

Joey Badass sneak dissed the west coast, specifically Kendrick Lamar on his song " The Ruler's Back", dropped on January 1st, 2025.
"Too much west coast d*ck lickin' "

TDE signee, Ray Vaughn fired back seven days later with " Crashout Heritage".

"What's with the sneak dissin'? Takin' shots at us, then hide the Uzi
'Cause the only badass the world was recognizin' is Boosie"

Another long time TDE affiliate, and battle rap legend, Daylyt responded to Joey Badass' bars with his music video " HIYUU". The music video shows daylyt paying respect to Joey Badass' late friend Capital Steez before he dishes some bars warning Joey not to mess with the westcoast.

Enter Mick Jenkins

Mick Jenkins responds to Joey Badass claims of being "The Ruler"

Cj Fly ( Joey's friend and Pro Era member) responds to Ray Vaughn & Daylyt

Daylyt drops ANOTHER diss responding to CJ Fly and more shots at Joey Badass

Clout chasing one hell of a disease brother

Nobody really taking Joey seriously

made this thread to say that Joey Badass absolutely cannot ignore Daylyt

"we dont give a f*** about your birthdayyy"

need full version of first part in the 2nd daylyt song tho

somebody is going to get hurt

Hell nah its not like that. This is just a pure hip hop battle

JID and Big Sean better find a way to hop into this undercard

Why Joey start sneakin for? What happened

I honestly think JID would smoke everyone except Lyt and Mick Jenkins

Joey always felt like the underdog compared to Kendrick and Cole so this is him showing out a bit lol.

And do what?

In

For the love of the sport. He's always had that energy

Who's producing these daylyt joints ? All 3 beats hard

The cj and 2nd daylyt song the best tracks out of this whole thing

that ray diss was so f***ing ass bro

If I had a nickel for every time Joey tried to battle Kendrick and no one moved

I wonder if we will ever get a direct response or something from Joey cuz this just looks like they rapping at walls right now

scraping and scrambling

Bro wants Cole and Ken to respond which...

Using the pro era/Joey's old style against him is fire. nigga also brought up the odd future interview which is a cool angle. best diss track easily and it's just jabs.
