Fiasco acknowledged rapper Mos Def‘s resistance to engage in a war of words on his Instagram page a few weeks ago.
Instead of green lighting the potential rap battle, Mos downplayed the situation in a recent interview.
“I stand behind the statement but at the same time I’m not trying to arrange some sort of exhibition,” Mos said in an interview. “It’s threatening to turn a fair portion of the thing into a gladiator tournament. … There’s a lot of people out here who’s a**es I think I could kick but I’m not out here trying to arrange fights with them.” (“A Country Called Earth”)

Fiasco publicly showed his interest in engaging in a battle rap with Def on Instagram August 7.
