American rapper Nyck Caution released a track called Die Another Day on May 21, 2025, amid the beef between Joey Bada$$ and the entire group of West Coast rappers. One of the lyrics that stands out in the track reads:
“Turn his YouTube off / Ray to the Vaughn you sound jealous / You was at the Met Gala holding Doechii’s umbrellas,"
While there is no proof of Ray Vaughn holding Doechii's umbrellas at the 2025 Met Gala, the rapper was reportedly hinting at the viral clip of Doechii having her staff cover her outfit with umbrellas before she arrived at the event.
Nyck's track dissing multiple rappers comes right in the midst of Joey Bada$$'s feud with West Coast rappers. The beef began with Joey criticizing the West Coast's impact on the rap arena on New Year's Day, followed by a back-and-forth between Joey Bada$$ and West Coast rappers like Ray Vaughn and AZ Chike, among others.

In another verse, Nyck Caution raps:
"Top got his new artist on a severance chip (Severance chip) / Tryna make a clone of who Kendrick is, the king prawn / How the top dog got a bottom feeder who will never know what it means to be King Von?"
The rapper continues:
"Yeah, you in the matrix (Ayy), you a top agent (Yeah) / Made in Dot's image but there's glitches in your statements / See, Top will innovate, we know him, but who's Raymond? / Kendrick really aced it"
