Joey Bada$$ On Troy Ave: "I’m Not The One Who Learned The Lesson”
Joey Bada$$ has been beefing with Troy Ave since 2015, a rivalry that heated up again last month when the two exchanged another series of disses.
The Brooklyn, New York rapper says he hasn’t gained any insight from the rivalry.
“Ain’t no perspective,” Joey Bada$$ stated during an interview with HipHopDX.
"I’m not the one who learned the lesson. I just taught it.”
Joey Bada$$ does have some perspective on his performance at Coachella yesterday (April 15), though.
“It means a lot,” he says. "I’m extremely honored. To perform at the main stage of Coachella has been one of my dreams upon entering the Rap game. I’m extremely honored to have [a spot] on the main stage in basically the third or fourth year of my career. You can’t ask for more.”
The rapper wanted to give his longtime fans a new wrinkle with his Coachella performance, so he performed new material and with a live band for the first time.
“Every time I perform, I like to give people something that’s relatively new,” he says. "Some of these kids, they’ve come out to see me three, four times, so this time I’d like to give them something that they’ve never [seen from] me before and that’s a live band. I’m excited to debut that on the Coachella stage.”
