Seriously, the world has been shit for the last month, but as I've mentioned on the site multiple times – we thank Trapt for providing the tiniest bit of entertainment and distraction in these trying times. Earlier this week, Trapt's ongoing meltdown focused on Ice-T for some reason. While Ice-T was electronically snuffing Trapt, Trapt just couldn't keep their mouth shut and now they got the attention of the New York Hardcore community, namely Danny Diablo aka Lord Ezac.
Diablo is best known for his project Icepick, an all-star group featuring Hatebreed's Jamey Jasta and other hardcore luminaries. Diablo is a tough dude. He made a name for himself with hardcore projects like Crown of Thornz and Skarhead. Diablo almost died after a 1993 fight where he was stabbed with an eight inch screwdriver. Despite that, he was almost charged by the court because of the beating his attacker took. In 1998, he was arrested for attempted murder. This guy is no joke.
And now Trapt is fucking with him!
So, how did this begin? Well, it started when Trapt just couldn't keep their mouth shut about Ice-T. Diablo just didn't understand how these guys could step to a legend like Ice-T.
WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU SAY SOME STUPID SHIT LIKE THAT TO@FINALLEVEL TRAPT IS A FUCKING JOKE. ICE IS A PIONEER & INNOVATOR. YOU ARE A NOBODY SINGING FOR A WACK BAND. LEARN SOME RESPECT.

I'm assuming Trapt is not too familiar with NYHC, because the exchange gets good. And, really, Trapt is (perhaps literally) digging their own hole.
HEY THAT IS MAD CUTE. I SEE HOW YOU TALK MAD SHIT TO OTHER MUSICIANS ON HERE. ASK ANYONE WHO THE FUCK I AM & WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT. YOU’RE A STRAIGHT BITCH. SEE YA SOON.

HA. YOU ARE A NOBODY. NO ONE RESPECTS YOU. YOU ARE A JOKE. SO IS YOUR MUSIC.

Trapt make the mistake of calling Diablo at "tattooed gauge queen"
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. ASK AROUND WHO I AM THEN YOU WILL BE SILENCED. HAVE A GOOD DAY.

Then, it really boiled down to insults. But as grade-school as they are, I did find Diablo's comebacks hilarious here:
That has to be lamest attempt at an insult I’ve heard all day

You are a child…. I bet you’re single

Do you have Down Syndrome?
— TRAPT (@TRAPTOFFICIAL) April 15, 2020
YOU’RE A WACK ALIEN ANT FARM.

If that's not the mic drop of all insults, I don't know what is.
Thank you, again, Trapt! And, we really hope you don't get killed for this.
