In an exclusive interview with Battle Rap, Okwerdz gave fans an explanation of why he left the industry and the type of emcees he’d be willing to return to battle.

“They still offer me a battle every fucking event,” Okwerdz said. “I think about it still but it’s not gonna be DNA. I just think he’s wack. They keep offering me DNA every time. Every time. I think he’s trash. He’s had a couple good performances. His shit against Rone was fire and I’ve told him that to his face, ‘Your shit against Rone was amazing.’ But you gotta think too, that’s three one-minute rounds. So then when you go to a SMACK battle that’s one of his rounds.”

Despite his thoughts on DNA, Okwerdz did say he’d consider a match up against veteran battlers like Sirius Jones and Reed Dollaz.

“I’d fuck Sirius Jones up,” he said. “I’d kill him. I always thought it’d be fun to battle Reed Dollaz. I don’t think he’s even battling anymore either. I always thought it’d be fun to yell at that guy a little bit. Just out of respect. I’m a fan of Reed Dollaz, don’t get me wrong. Me and Sirius Jones go back and forth. I don’t really fuck with him. But Reed Dollaz, I’m a fan. That would be fun.”
