Royce Da 5’9″ is disappointed after lack of support from KXNG Crooked, Joyner Lucas, Eminem, and more in the feud with Lupe Fiasco.
Royce Da 5’9″ recently had a falling out with fellow podcast rapper Lupe Fiasco after they both had a verbal spat during a live stream. It ended up duo throwing shots at each other with new diss tracks. In the song called “Silence of the Lambda“, Royce also takes shots at Mickey Factz, who responded with the track called “Wraith“. In the song, Mickey Factz also name drops Eminem, Slaughterhouse, Joe Budden, and more. After diss from Mickey Factz, Royce took to IG where he posts a video of himself saying, “Now everyone gang up on the GOAT huh, the GOAT got rapper friend too.”
But since then, no rapper friend of Royce Da 5’9″ came forward to join him in the feud with Lupe Fiasco. Now in a recent live stream, Nickle talked about lack of support from his fellow rappers like KXNG Crooked, Joell Ortiz, Joyner Lucas, Eminem, and more. “Speaking of Crook and Joell, what are they up to?” asks Royce, with a laugh. “Watching me get jumped on? Where’s the order right now? You know what I would be doing right now if somebody pulled this on one of my loved ones? I would have been rapped. I’m disappointed in Crooked, I’m disappointed in Joell, I’m disappointed in King Los, I’m disappointed in Grafh, I’m disappointed in Joyner Lucas, I’m disappointed in Marshall. Nah, I ain’t disappointed in Marshall.”
“Those people right there I just named are very close loved ones,” he continues. “Never should you sit back and watch me. It’s not about [trusting me], that’s not the point I’m making. It’s not about them wondering if I can handle myself in rapping. It’s the fact that you’re looking at me, and you’re looking at two other individuals gang up on me on some lyrical sh*t, and you just sitting there watching.”
When asked about whether or not Eminem weighed in yet, Royce shakes his head and says with a laugh. “I don’t think it made its way to the f**kin’ Android Metro phone. I don’t think it’s that f**kin big. Hasn’t reached the Batphone yet.”
It was conceivable to view Royce’s altercation with Lupe Fiasco up until this point as a ruse to foster hip-hop competitiveness and fighting spirit. Even his song “Silence Of The Lambda,” which was dedicated to Lupe, maintained a high level of dialogue and avoided any signals of hurt pride; it was free of personal attacks and possessed all of the characteristics of longevity outside of this debate. Fans viewed it as a show of dignity and proof that Royce can manage a crisis like this without bringing in the reinforcements.
When Nick Cannon was shooting at Eminem, Royce didn’t want him to be distracted and instead wanted him to focus on “interesting contributions.” Royce has spent the last few years urging people to put aside their differences and solve their issues by talking to one another. He seemed to have taken a U-turn as soon as someone got under his skin.
