Royce da 5'9" and Benzino has been entangled in a war of words and tweets for a few days. Their interactions have sparked commentary from several rappers including Joyner Lucas which didn't sit well with Benzino.
On Thursday, Benzino hopped on Twitter to take direct aim at his fellow Massachusetts native.
"Man dis clown tried to inbox me a few months ago tryna VERZUS battle me too," Lucas wrote under Royce's Instagram post about the challenge. "Idk what nursing home he escaped from but they needa find him and bring him back ASAP."
Benzino didn't deny these messages. Instead he urged Lucas to accept the challenge or stop mentioning his name.
@joynerlucas remember I got the dms where you said we should come together for our community, now u wanna talk tough. U ain’t bout that so stfu. Now it’s either u wanna do a versuz or just mind your business house nigga

@royceda59 is a nerd rapper who gets no spins in Detroit clubs. He makes songs that no hood banged. He’s scared to do a #Versuz because his catalogue will be exposed. Name a hit he got? I got hood bangers, produced platinum artists & radio hits. Now are you gonna keep running

This prompted Royce to respond with some low blows of his own. After Benzino continually referred to Royce as Eminem's slave, Nickle decided to drag Benzino's daughter, Coi Leray, into the drama.
I’m gon take your daughter to the park and let her ride the swings if you don’t quit spending your whole day being a twitter goon. She pussy popping on a handstand on IG. Now go hug her and tell her she’s beautiful before Drake or Trey Songz does
