On July 7, 2015, in an interview withEbro DardenonHot 97,Joey Badass had words of praise for Troy Ave, stating: "At some point you gotta have some level of respect for Troy because, at the end of the day, we're both independent artists who are standing on major platforms next to a whole bunch of major artists and they know who we are."[70]However, in February 2016, he reignited the feud in a single entitled "Ready", where he rapped: "60k, first week for the badass / 200k to this day, I know you niggas mad / With that 80-20 split, my nigga do the math / my nigga Kirk just outsold Troy Ave" (in reference toKirk Knight's debut studio albumLate Knight Specialand Troy Ave's second studio albumMajor Without a Deal).[71][72]

...He took a leap of faith and only brightened his light / You took a cheap shot at hate and only shortened your life / Difference between you and him is that he lives forever / You'll be the first to die that nobody ever remembers / 'cause the city never needed you ever / You committed career suicide and made New York better...

— Joey Badass, on his "Five Fingers of Death" freestyle onSway in the Morning.[79][80][81]
