Phora and Drexthejoint trade shots in the comments after Drex drops 'RapperK'

Drexthejoint dropped a new song called "RapperK," and fans quickly decided it was aimed at Phora. Juice Unlocked posted the story on Oct. 21, 2025, tagged in Santa Ana.

According to the post's caption, Drex's track followed a song from Phora that the caption called a diss, "2am in Santa Ana." Neither artist said in the comments who either track was about.

The comment thread

The cover graphic shows a comment exchange between the two verified accounts. Drex's comment carries Instagram's "Author" tag, meaning the thread sat under a post from his own account.

Phora started with a short compliment, saying it "go hard" and adding two fire emojis. Drex answered: "yo ass gon get hurt with all that trolling lover boy."

Phora's reply came later and read more like advice than bars. He offered to get Drex "a love song," told him to get "out the hood wit all that RapperK n the ignorance" and to "use your voice for something better kid."
