British Rapper Skepta Slams Kendrick Lamar & Drake’s Beef

British rapper Skepta is not happy about the aftermath of Drake’s beef with Kendrick Lamar and says the rappers have closed a lot of doors for other rappers in the game.

“When I was clashing, we never had nothing to lose. You can call me anything in the world, I’m not gonna lose a Nike deal,” he told Apple Music’s Ebro Darden.

The beef was the rap highlight of the year and some say the biggest rap beef of all time, but Skepta says the beef affected all of the culture.

“I’m not gonna not be able to put food [on my table],” he continued. “That’ll probably get me even more money because we’ll go to the show and do the clash on the stage and more people are paying. It’s helping us. [What they’re doing] is hurting what we’ve built. It’s hurting what we’ve all built this whole time.”

Skepta went on to say, “If you two don’t like each other, just link up and just talk or just don’t speak to each other. But all the stuff you’re saying to each other, for the rest of everyone else who’s waiting in line for the doors that you’ve kicked open, these doors are shutting on us right now, bro. We’re looking crazy out here. That’s why I didn’t like that. It was good until it sounded crazy.”

Skepta is a British grime MC, rapper, record producer and DJ. Alongside his younger brother Jme, he briefly joined Roll Deep before they became founding members of Boy Better Know in 2005. With Boy Better Know, Skepta clashed with fellow MC Devilman for the video release Lord of the Mics 2, in what is remembered as one of the biggest clashes in grime history.
