The Migos/Everyday Struggle cast beef gets more & more interesting.

It's been a few months since the whole Migos/Joe Budden incident at the BET Hip Hop Awards. While it feels like it blew over, Quavo added more fuel after he called Joe Budden a hater and a pussy on "Ice Tray" off of Quality Control Presents Control The Streets Vol. 1. Joe Budden had a good laugh about the line on "Everyday Struggle" but it's looking like Migos are taking the roast session one step further.

On a backstage.com casting call post for a Migos video shoot, their looking for Joe Budden, Akademiks and Nadeska look-a-likes for their upcoming video. There's no word on what track their trying to do it for but hopefully, they relive the iconic red carpet moment. The casting calls are pretty vague for the roles. For Joe Budden, they want a male of "African America, Latino/Hispanic, Middle Eastern, Ethnically Ambiguous/Mixed Race or African descent" betweent he ages of 18-37 while Akademiks criteria is the same but can be between the ages of 18-38. For Nadeska, they want some to match the same racial criteria but between the ages of 20-34. While Joe is a lead character, Akademiks and Nadeska are supporting roles.

Both Akademiks and Nadeska have been pretty vocal that they didn't really want any part of it. Nadeska posted a screenshot of the casting call and wrote, "when you get caught up in the f*ckery...Migos casting Nadeska for this video, to yell for security??" on Twitter. 

Hopefully, we get to see this video come to light soon.
