The clip behind the Phora diss: Drexthejoint says he claims Santa Ana, not L.A.

Juice Unlocked posted the interview clip on Oct. 5, 2025, and called it "the clip that made" Phora diss Drexthejoint. In it, Drex says he claims only Santa Ana and has no respect for rappers who blow up and then say they're from Los Angeles.

The post drew 750 likes and 72 comments.

What Drex said

Seated and wearing a chain that reads "DREX," the rapper says he was born in North Carolina and moved to Santa Ana as a baby, at around age 2. He lists his schools: Wilson Elementary and Willard Intermediate, then Santa Ana High School, before graduating from Chavez.

"Everybody knows I'm really from Santa Ana," he says. "I don't claim nothing but Santa Ana." He adds that he takes pride in being from OC because "that's what made me."

Then he turns to another rapper. He says that artist could have been that kind of figure for Orange County if he had repped OC when he started making music. "But he didn't, but from what I know, from what I heard, he claims L.A.," Drex says. Another voice in the conversation says they heard the same, adding that "when he first came out" the rapper said he was from Atlanta.

“I don't claim nothing but Santa Ana.”

The diss

Drex draws a line between himself and anyone who claims L.A. "just for the look," as he puts it. The rapper's name is not clear in the audio, but Juice Unlocked's on-screen graphic shows a photo of Phora and says this is the clip that made Phora diss Drexthejoint.

The post itself does not show Phora's response.

“Everybody knows I'm really from Santa Ana.”

“But he didn't, but from what I know, from what I heard, he claims L.A.”
