“White boy trippin fr”: Video of battle rapper getting punched in the face for using N-word takes the internet by a storm

A white battle rapper is in the spotlight for using the n-word in front of other rappers. Ironically, he was commenting on how white rappers were afraid of using the 'n-word.' However, as soon as he said the n-word, his opponent punched him in the face.

A video of the verbal turned physical fight between William Wolf, a white man, and Avenue C, a fellow battler, went viral on social media platforms. In the video, you can see Wolf saying:

"I ain’t like these other battle rappers, they talk too much, saying I can’t use the n-word in this battle, my n***a….”

Before the last word is completely out of his mouth, Avenue C delivers a hard right jab straight to Wolf's face. Onlookers and fellow battlers separated the two from each other. The video shows Wolf tending to his injuries while bending over.

However, much to Wolf's disappointment, the video of him being embarrassed by Avenue C's punch has already gone viral, with several social media users making memes out of it.

Rap battles and all that comes along with it

Rap battles are competitions between two or more rappers as they improvise or write down lyrics that help them insult the other rapper. Although battles can happen in songs and albums, the most well-known form is through live battles.

Many mainstream rappers have started their careers as those who battled at certain points. Mickey Factz and Eminem are just two examples of numerous people joining rap battles before their careers shot off.

Some of the major professional battle leagues include Ultimate Rap League, Grind Time Now, King Of The Dot, Don't Flop, Queen of the Ring, and Flip Top.
