Mick Jenkins appears to have become the latest rapper to throw lyrical jabs at Joey Bada$$ following the release of his feathers-ruffling song “The Ruler’s Back.”
The Chicago rapper dropped a similarly chest-beating track called “Wars & Rumors of Wars” on Monday (January 13), and it seemingly contains several subliminal shots at the Pro Era co-founder.
Making a thinly-veiled reference to Joey’s aforementioned song, Jenkins snarls over the menacing production: “Placeholders out here claiming ruler, we goin’ yard / Ferris Bueller, got no regard for the new school, I’m so appalled.”
