John John Da Don gets completely honest about Tsu Surf taking his time before making his highly anticipated return to battle rap—and explains why Surf should not rush back for anything less than the right situation.
John John addresses Surf’s reported $220K asking price, the pressure from fans to immediately return and the one major opponent he believes makes the most sense. He calls the potential matchup a **“perfect nightmare”** for both battlers and reveals that he previously had conversations about battling Murda Mook himself.
The conversation takes another turn when A. Ward names John John as a possible stepping stone on his path to Surf or Mook. John John fires back, tells A. Ward that his road stops with him and questions whether A. Ward is being realistic about his position in battle rap.
John John also speaks on:
• Why fans should stop rushing Tsu Surf’s return
• Surf’s reported $220K asking price
• Why Surf vs. Murda Mook makes the most sense
• His previous Murda Mook battle discussions
• A. Ward calling him a stepping stone
• John John Da Don vs. A. Ward
• A. Ward’s Champion of the Year recognition
• Why A. Ward’s losses get overlooked
• A. Ward needing URL battlers despite saying he does not need URL
Is John John right about A. Ward—or would Ward actually get through him and earn a battle with Surf or Mook?
