The back-and-forth between Troy Ave and Joey Bada$$ continues.
Earlier today, Joey Bada$$’ unleashed a scathing 5 Fingers of Death freestyle loaded with vicious bars aimed directly at Troy Ave. This evening, Ave responded via Instagram. In short, he wasn’t impressed.
“A GUN IN YA (Drug Addict) FACE AND THATS ALL YOU CAN COME UP WITH,” Ave captioned. “backpack rapper I’m not gonna say ya $hit was garbage cause that would imply that I’m being malicious. So Ima tell u YOUR MUSIC IS NOT APPEALING OR A REFLECTION OF ANYTHING THAT REPRESENTS THE REAL NEW YORK CITY, the $treets don’t fuk wit u, maybe DUNBO, yea use a DUNBO, SOHO, 42nd Street Times Square Village People rapper.”
Things have been tense between Troy Ave and Joey Bada$$ since 2015 when Ave called Bada$$ a “fake independent” artist since he’s signed to indie outfit, Cinematic. Today, Ave released visuals for “Bada$$,” which mocked the 1999-emcee as “just an internet rapper.” The track also disparages fallen Pro Era artist, Capital Steez, who committed suicide in 2012. View Ave’s IG post and the “Bada$$” video below, as well as Joey Bada$$’ 5 Fingers Of Death Freestyle on Sway In The Morning.

So my NY people, are yall really not fucking with Joey like Troy claims yall aren’t? Inquiring minds would like to know…
Troy ave is wack. If you’ve heard one of his songs you,ve pretty much heard them all. Nigga talks about the same shit in EVERY song. This nigga in is 30s still tryna make it off rappin lmao..
@NYC for real: Funny how you call Joey a backpack rapper when Troy posed with one on one of his album covers.
so newyork doesn’t fuck with their tradition sound wtf ? Some of ave’s music is tradition hiphop !
In his 30s or just 30? Jay Z was older than thi nigga and he represented/represents New York City. Niggas always fucked with him. You obviously some 14 year old if you don’t know this. Kids in New York only listen to Chie Keef and trap music. But I can tell you for sure, no one fucks with Joey Badass. Most people in the city who listen to rap have never heard of him. No one fucks with Joey he’s some wick wack backpack rapper, he doesn’t even dress like us. Streets is definitely fucking with Troy Ave more than Joey Badass.
Found Troy Ave’s account.
Stop it
To be real New York don’t really fuck with neither as a hip hop head and not being from New York I just be in Brooklyn cus I got homies there I hear the same reaction nobody is checkin for Ave cus his shit isn’t really hot and nobody checkin for Joey cus he hasn’t really done anything to catch NY attention niggas in New York will listen to the other rappers before Troy average ( fab, kiss ect)
Troy Average is garbage, aint nobody in the streets fuckin with him either, streets dont need a 30 year old Doo Doo rapper. Fuck outta here.
This dude Troy Ave wat too flagrant and disrespectful with that making fun of sucides talk. Back in the day someone would’ve already got shot son.. Smh
At least joey has fans at all. Troy ave just an all around failure. If the ‘streets” were fuckin with him like he pretends his sales wouldn’t have been so low they became a running joke for a while. Fact is, joeys name in his mouth is the best thing tryos career has going for it. Thaat should tell you all you need to know.
Troy’s only pullin’ that bully shit with someone who wont go out his way to put hands on him. He’s soft…prolly got loyals around him but REAL real niggas handle their own. Speakin’ ill of dead homies is not whats hot regardless of your location. Shout out to Joey for not losing his mind and trying to really air this foo foo out…
Nobody cares but Troy Ave! Nigga took the time to make a 5 dollar video, Bada$$$ killing him without saying nothing
best 5 fingaz of death ever
fuk dat, troy ave got a new fan that song was flames
You a fuckboy who probably thinks he a real nigga. Just like troy ave.
Nigga take joey dick out ya mouth!
“shit’s weak. answer with bars”…. he already did remember, Joey said he was above dissing him back, then a month later after he had time to come up with something slick to say takes more shots
Joey is more lyrical … niggas are getting dumb as fuck.
Over & done with. I’d almost feel bad for Troy if his bars were any good… but everything about dude is stale, then he’s a whiny hater on top of that. Fossilized clown rap, burks in muh buckpuck, fucking yaaawwnn.
When everyone starts ignoring his tantrums, this cornball is gonna vanish. “The streets” have a short memory, unless you really blow up… dude peaked w/ Twitter beef. I hope he really does all that d-boy nonsense because rap definitely isn’t gonna pay the bills now.
Yeeeaaa you’d probably like to do a lot of things, yet here you are making empty threats in an internet comment section
Funny how that works right
Would love to knock the stupid out of you boy
shit’s weak. answer with bars
joey > troy ave
Joey’s style is horrible. It’s exactly what New York doesn’t need for representation. But damn that boy can spit. Troy is just the man all around. I’m not choosing sides on this one. Suicide is pussy shit tho
Man nigga you’re stupid all around. I hope and pray to God you stay far away from hip-hop if you even think this battle is good. It became one sided right after Joey ended this whole shit with that Five Fingers of Death. He freestyled his response and had more quoteables then anything Troy Ave has ever wrote. This nigga Joey said, ” I des”TROY” “AVE”rage rappers. That wordplay right there is other worldly. No they are both not dope one is in a class of his own and one’s a 30 year old try hard pissed off rapper who never made it.
From Nas and Jay…from 50 and Ja…to this?
No thanks.
does he mean dumbo?
Troy Ave had a buz. Son played himself. He shit is wak! Joey is nice! Troy don’t wanna battle him. Troy is simple. Comes off like a clown.
MY ALBUM IS DONE, I REPEAT, MY ALBUM IS DONE! I COULD’VE DROPPED THIS SH*T BACK IN DECEMBER BUT MY MONEY WASN’T RIGHT. NOW I GOT A FEW DOLLARS TO WORK WITH. IF I DON’T BELIEVE IN MYSELF THEN WHO WILL, SO AS OF TODAY I’M LABELING MYSELF TOP 5 DEAD OR ALIVE BEST EMCEE IN DETROIT! I DON’T CARE ABOUT OUT OF TOWN RAPPERS STATS , I ONLY CARE ABOUT MY STATS IN MY CITY & I SAY THAT I’M TOP 5 DEAD OR ALIVE!
WHO F**KING WITH MY CATALOG? I STILL DON’T HEAR NO RESPONSES, NOW I’M TALKING S**T BECAUSE I BEEN PLOTTING THIS S**T FOR 2 YEARS!
ON SOME ONE ON ONE BATTLE S**T, I’LL EAT ANY RAPPER ALIVE, AND MY FREESTYLE AIN’T THAT BAD, DON’T SLEEP ON MY NO PEN OR PAD GAME. I TALK S**T BECAUSE I CAN BACK ALL OF THIS S**T UP, GET AT ME! I’m not mad, I’m just human like everybody else, my opinion counts too!!
M.U. Tha Don is Ghost
NEW ALBUM COMING SOON!
Man nobody’s ever heard of you ur to confident for no reason????????????????… The top five niggas from Detroit is on right now and ur name is mentioned nowhere sit DA fuck down_/
Best part about this beef is that “nobody cares”
Troy’s still bitter from those sales figures…
I haven’t even heard a Troy Ave song until this one. I fucked with Joey since he came out with 1999. Dude is tight. Troy is bitter because Joey is touring and he ain’t doing shit
S/O to Pro Era, The Underachievers, Flatbush ZOMBiES & everybody from the East Coast, West Coast, Down South, Midwest, Canada & any other foreign states that keeps it real & makes dope music. Joey Bada$$ won the beef fair and square. People who don’t like him or his style don’t wanna admit that. Anybody saying Beast Coast is not what New York is looking for is DEAD wrong. STEEZ Lives Forever.
