Joey Bada$$ claims that he will not perform on the "Under The Influence" tour if Trinidad Jame$ is listed above him on the bill.

This weekend the "Under The Influence" tour was announced. The tour sports an all-star cast of rappers, including Wiz Khalifa, A$AP Rocky, B.o.B., and more. While most were excited when reading the list of acts on the poster, Joey Bada$$-- who is also set to perform on the tour-- was not one of them. 

Joey took to twitter today to voice his disapproval for the order of the names on the bill, more specifically the fact that Trinidad Jame$' name was just above his. "If I'm under Trinidad James I'm not doing the Under The Influence Tour. Straight" he tweeted, adding, "no disrespect to the man on gold. but I just don't like seeing myself at the bottom. APEX."

The "Unorthodox" rapper concluded his rant with "I'm sorry I speak my mind. I'm sorry I know my worth."
