Drexthejoint fires back after a commenter says 'OC does not claim' him

Drexthejoint didn't let the "OC doesn't claim you" talk slide. The rapper replied directly to a commenter who wrote that Orange County does not claim him, and Juice Unlocked shared screenshots of the exchange on Nov. 9, 2025.

"Why y'all hating on @drexthejoint," the post asked, before putting the question to followers: does Orange County claim Drex, or is this fan just hating?

What the commenter said

In the screenshot, the commenter said Drex bothered them "soooo bad" and that OC does not claim him. They wrote that people "out here" don't say the n-word and claimed he isn't from a barrio, spelled "varrio" in the comment.

“This a next level of hating you rather hate on someone who's really from your county/hometown?”

How Drex answered

Replying from the @Drexthejoint account, he called it "a next level of hating" to go after someone who is "really from your county/hometown." He described himself as "the only person shining light on us and not claiming La for the looks."

He dismissed the claim that he isn't from a barrio as "boo boo" and told the commenter to "go do your homework." On the n-word complaint, he pushed back by asking if they knew what "afro-mexican" is.

He said the commenter seemed to be looking for "any reason to hate," then closed by wishing them "nothing but the best" and saying their hating was making his "pockets heavier."
