See What Kendrick Lamar Told Ray Vaughn About His Joey Bada$$ Diss Songs

by Daryl Nelson

Last month, Joey Bada$$ and Ray Vaughn exchanged diss songs

It started after Joey sent a few shots at Kendrick Lamar in his song "The Ruler's Back."

Then in his cut "The Finals," Joey said that Ray is crashing out for Kendrick but doesn't even have his phone number.

Ray denied that claim in his song "Golden Eye" and said he does have Dot's number.

The TDE rapper even got some advice from Kendrick, which he spoke to Bootleg Kev about.

"I’m on the phone with him when I’m going at Joey. 'Hey, do you f*ck with this?'" Ray explained. "I always get feedback. Sh*t still don’t come out just like. It’s still got a protocol ... If anything, it’s like take something out."

Now that the dust has settled, who do you say won the battle?
