Draft:Ricky Pucino-LeMickey feud

The Ricky Pucino–LeMickey Feud is an ongoing internet rivalry between Discord users Ricky Pucino and LeMickey, known for their intense exchanges of diss tracks, cyber confrontations, and public ridicule across multiple online platforms. The feud, which originated in early 2025, has become a viral spectacle, drawing in audiences from Discord communities, social media, and online hip-hop circles.

Background

Ricky Pucino

Ricky Pucino, an emerging figure in online battle rap culture, gained notoriety for his razor-sharp insults, quick wit, and aggressive lyrical delivery. He built a reputation for dismantling opponents in Discord rap battles, often leaving rivals humiliated.

LeMickey

LeMickey, a self-proclaimed internet tough guy, was known for his frequent boasts, exaggerated stories, and attempts to assert dominance in online spaces. Despite his efforts to appear intimidating, he was frequently called out for inconsistencies in his claims, including allegations of financial struggles, social failures, and fabricated street credibility.

Origins of the Feud

The conflict reportedly began when LeMickey attempted to assert his dominance in a Discord server freestyle battle, where he challenged multiple users, including Ricky Pucino. After delivering what many described as an underwhelming and poorly structured verse, LeMickey was met with widespread ridicule. Seizing the opportunity, Ricky Pucino unleashed a brutal diss track that quickly spread through the Discord rap community.

Key Moments in the Feud

First Diss Track – "LeMickey Exposed"

In response to LeMickey’s challenge, Ricky Pucino released the diss track LeMickey Exposed, which mocked LeMickey’s financial status, lack of street credibility, and alleged dependence on his mother for financial support. The track gained traction and was widely shared, solidifying Ricky’s reputation as a lyrical powerhouse.

LeMickey’s Response – "Pucino Who?"

Determined to salvage his reputation, LeMickey released a counter-diss titled Pucino Who?, which attempted to portray Ricky as an irrelevant figure in the online rap scene. However, the track was met with mixed reactions, with many listeners criticizing its weak delivery, lack of punchlines, and overall generic composition.

"LeMickey’s Funeral" – Ricky Pucino’s Knockout Track

Following the lukewarm reception of Pucino Who?, Ricky Pucino escalated the feud with LeMickey’s Funeral, a savage, extended diss track that obliterated LeMickey’s persona. The track made direct references to LeMickey’s failed rap career, his habit of fabricating stories, and his consistent losses in online debates. The song became a viral sensation, effectively burying LeMickey’s credibility.

Aftermath and Internet Impact

LeMickey’s activity on Discord and social media significantly declined following the release of LeMickey’s Funeral. Rumors circulated that he had deleted his accounts, rebranded under a new alias, or abandoned rap battles entirely. Ricky Pucino, on the other hand, continued to thrive, gaining followers and recognition for his lyrical prowess.

The feud became a widely referenced meme in online communities, with phrases like "LeMickey took the biggest L of 2025" and "LeMickey’s career got packed up in VC" being used to describe humiliating defeats.

Legacy

The Ricky Pucino–LeMickey Feud is considered one of the most one-sided online rap beefs in recent history. It is frequently cited as a case study in "when online flexing goes wrong." The incident serves as a cautionary tale for aspiring internet personalities who attempt to build a tough persona without the skills to back it up.

While LeMickey has yet to make a full return to the Discord rap scene, Ricky Pucino remains active, continuing to roast challengers and cementing his status as one of the most feared lyricists in the online rap battle community.
