Joyner Lucas is appalled by the disrespect the Chicago festival showed him and ready to smoke whoever comes his way.
Recently, the rapper posted a series of tweets where he pointed out that Lollapalooza put his name on the bill without his consent and, even more, buried it deep down the miles of small print. It is difficult to figure out what frustrates Joyner the most out of these two offences, but he is fuming.
His tweets go like this:
Bro hit me up today asking me what time is my set at @lollapalooza. I said huh? went and looked at the flier and had to find a microscope to find my name. 🤨 Disrespectful. They said i had to get my numbers up to be respected. So I went top 10 billboard independently. Still this
All I know is @lollapalooza better take my fukin name off that flier. I ain’t agree to that lineup and I don’t want that weak ass 💰 niggaz tried to give me. Next thing I kno the flier goes out and they gon put my name in some tiny ass letter like i ain’t me. Fuck outta here! 😡
Joyner even put out the screen of a festival lineup with his name. He really needed a magnifying glass and a lot of patience to find it.
The main thing Joyner demands is the respect he’s earned as an MC. Lucas states that only Tech 9ine is on his level as an independent artist.
the biggest independent artist period with the exception of my nigga tech. And I got the numbers & the fans & the💰 to back that statement up. How is it that these festivals keep tryna bunch my name up with a bunch of niggaz who ain’t on my level?. nigga I’m JOYNER LUCAS 🤨
And as if to add insult to injury, the festival named MGK as one of its headliners. The celebrity who lives more off hype than off music and notoriously had to switch genres after he attempted to diss Eminem.
Joyner Lucas, who has a super successful joint with Eminem in his bag, is not afraid to give MGK a second helping:
someone said “don’t bring out the rap devil”… 😭 maaaaannnn listen. Lol What my brother Marshall did to this nigga @machinegunkelly is light compared to what’s waiting if he wanna walk down that street wit me. Ain’t nobody worried bout a nigga who paints his nails. 💅🏿 foh
