Joey Badass addressed Ray Vaughn's claims that he attended Diddy's "Freak-Off" parties by saying he saw Anthony "Top Dog" Tiffith there too in a new diss song titled "CRASH DUMMY."

On Tuesday (May 20), the Brooklyn rapper unleashed "CRASH DUMMY," another response to Ray Vaughn and various West Coast rappers who have been throwing shots at him. Joey wasted no time baiting Kendrick Lamar once again by claiming he's scared and would rather have others fight his battles for him before addressing the allegations Vaughn made on "GoldenEye."

On the diss record shared the night before, Vaughn alleged that Joey was seen at Diddy’s “freak-offs,” which were drug-fueled parties the music mogul held that are now the center of his highly publicized sex trafficking trial. “I ain't never been to Diddy house/ Serayah gon' be shocked when all that footage out,” Vaugh rapped.

Joey flipped the script on Vaughn by claiming he saw Top Dawg Entertainment boss Anthony "Top Dog" Tiffith at Diddy's crib and had a conversation with him to help out Vaughn's career. According to Joey, he was willing to help Vaughn's career if Top were to make a rap battle happen between him and Lamar.

"I was at the party, but I also saw Top there," raps Joey. "He said, 'Hey, Joey, I got this artist named Ray Vaughn / And I'd appreciate if you would really help me put him on' / I said, 'Okay, Top, but you know it's gon' cost you' / You know I really want the one who elevated your roster."

Joey then went on a lyrical assault where he took more shots at the West Coast by referencing Dr. Dre's ill-fated Detox album, Daylyt's violent bars thrown at him, and more. He even admitted to studying how Kendrick handled the feud with Drake by consistently dropping diss songs and predicting how Vaughn would use the Diddy angle. He also highlighted the sexual assault allegations that Top Dawg Entertainment's Brandon Tiffith and Anthony "Moosa" Tiffith Jr. were accused of.

"Joey just spun again, how could it be? / It's like he knew it was comin', the future, what he foresee? / Have you ever thought TDE was working for me?," Joey raps. "Last time I checked, your label exec's was in hot water / The Diddy house angle is terrible, you makin' it way too easy for me, we ain't comparable."

Since Joey's diss has dropped, Daylyt took the lead for his West Coast brethren and dropped two tracks, "WORDISBON" and "ICANTHOLDYOUTHISA." Check them out below.
