Young Drummer Boy fires back at Juice Unlocked over Phora take: 'There's consequences'

Young Drummer Boy had something to say about Juice Unlocked. In a clip the outlet posted Nov. 18, 2025, the rapper sent what Juice Unlocked called a warning toward the platform after it said on the All Facts podcast that Phora is the more mainstream artist.

Juice Unlocked's cover graphic put it bluntly: Young Drummer Boy "goes off" on Juice Unlocked for saying Phora is the bigger artist, with the line "There's consequences to that!"

What was said

The nearly two-minute clip comes from a podcast taping with four men seated on couches. Early on, a speaker says that when someone talks about another artist, he might want to check with that artist before starting something, because "something like that could cause some" trouble.

He lays out the stakes: if he went after the other artist over something someone else said, that artist could sit back and say he did nothing. "So there's consequences to that," he says.

Someone on the panel also pushed back on any idea that they had fallen off, pointing to "the 75 million streams we just did last year."

“So there's consequences to that.”

Matt Allenn's name comes up

A host brings up Juice Unlocked's Matt Allenn, calling him an Orange County blogger and saying the show recently had him on. The reply: "I don't even know who that is, I've seen you guys post that."

The host stands by him. "Us bloggers stick together," he says, adding that he invited Allenn and that Allenn was backing Orange County. The rapper's side then cools things down, saying he normally doesn't respond and is not mad. "Like, you want to get at me, you get at me," he says.

The clip closes with a speaker framing it as a matter of defending what L.A. has done for the culture when outsiders try to diminish it.

“Let's talk about the 75 million streams we just did last year.”

Your call

Juice Unlocked turned it over to its followers: Is the Phora take all facts or not, and are rappers too sensitive these days, or did the outlet cross the line? The post drew 456 likes and 51 comments.

“I don't even know who that is, I've seen you guys post that.”

“Hey man, us bloggers stick together, man.”
