Yasiin Bey posted a video on YouTube challenging any rapper to a battle.
“Me, Black Thought and King Los versus anybody,” Yasiin Bey says in a video. “Red Bull Music Academy put a mill on that and we’ll give our winnings to charity and take your money, too. Tired of these dudes pretending like they dope.”
The artist formerly known as Mos Def was inspired by the recent exchange of diss tracks between Drake and Meek Mill.
“You all right, but relax,” Bey says in the video. ” We don’t need to make no back and forth corny records about it, we can put it on its feet for the world to see… We’ll battle anyone I don’t care who you tell. Let’s go for any set, any time. Champion sound, for real. The word is out, let’s go.”
Before long, Lupe Fiasco accepted the challenge via social media.
“Dear Yasiin Bey, whenever, wherever, whoever…sincerely Lupe Fiasco,” he says on Instagram.
Lupe Fiasco then threw some bars Yasiin’s way.
“If Mos wanna battle, he can get a whiff of the wrath,” Lupe Fiasco writes on Instagram. “And I’m behind all these bars don’t need to tap Miller for some genuine drafts.”
The line brings up Drake’s alleged ghostwriter Quentin Miller in a pun referencing a popular beer.
Yasiin Bey made headlines earlier this week after doing a stand-up comedy set that references the Drake and Meek Mill feud.
“The male ego can be a very boring place,” Yasiin Bey says during his set. “I feel bad for Nicki Minaj. Damn she’s in the middle of these two rap niggas…I hope she call both of them and curse them out, cuz secretly she’s a better rapper than both of them.”
Lupe Fiasco’s Instagram posts are as follows:

That would be Epic
Hip-Hop fans and artists alike will always remember the name Quentin Miller. Like 9/11, we will never forget lol.
Not funny comparing it to 9/11*jackass*
This what am talkin bout,who gives a damn bout back and forth tracks,and again i say it,i wanna see eminem vs jay-z
That genuine draft line was vicious
Ohhhhhhh! Lmao Lupe’s wordplay is sick wit dat ‘genuine drafts’ line. Only one line yet is it better than anything Drake & Meek have spit in their entire lame beef.
lupe types one slick bar and u salivating like that’s enough for the likes of mos and black thought. lol go calm down groupie
although truthfully i think lupe probably would fuck around and win just cuz he’s harder when it comes to this rapping shit
that’s what they do, try to slander u, try to b u to confuse others into disliking u. when do they just be themselves? end of the day dude did say days ago it’s all fun on the ‘net, so now we know who’s the dx clown. didn’t he try to say I was someone else too? but look who’s typing under people’s screen names.
Wasn’t lupe the one who just wrote an article why ghostwriting is ok in hiphop?
separate the artform from the gossip and realize an emcee battle is not always about beef ok? thank u
Kara don’t take me to serious, i’m an insecure fuck who lives in my mothers basement who only feels tough talking shit to white boys and women…….
2008 internet tactics u have yet to post an original thought little boy, lol
Y’all realize he’s also talking about beers also.
Oooooooh genuine drafts. .. ooooooh&
Those were some cute bars Lupe dropped
This is what hiphop needs, dudes just wanna have a battle just to spit and go at it. move this this drake and tweet mill ish aside and make way 4 real rappers. more lyrical dudes need to do this just to bring back bars, and more industry dudes need to battale these real deal battle rappers. joe budden battling hollow is cool but its not enuff imo.
Meek if you are reading this its not to late to tap lupe for some Genuine Draft…I
That’s a good idea im starting #lupepleaseghostwrite4MEEK
Are you ppl dyslexic? Reponds? Nobody here noticed? I swear you black ppl are illiterate how the fuck nobody noticed that?
Are you people* dyslexic? Reponds? Nobody here noticed? I swear you black people* are illiterate. How the fuck did* nobody notice* that?
Pretty fucked up to comment on illiteracy when yours is not much better.
Mos Def is way too grown to be sparkin’ off some battle shit!
It was for sport and the essence of battle. It wasn’t no beef stuff. It was gonna be a charity event. So he’s not to grown for that. But he realized how the mediancan try and turn it into a “beef” kind of thing so he called it off. There is nothing childish or grown about it. Lu and Mos are friends.
WOW this shows how great drake is. all this niggas a jealous cus of drake. if u wana prove urself just put it into ur music
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. you don’t know what real beef is kid.
shows how much you know…lupe, mos def, black though would run laps around drake every single day of his entire career
Mos just backed out though…
