Father-son framing
"Last year I lost my son… thank God that I found him again because he’s fully grown up and sounding like REN."
REN opens by turning SKAMZ into his “son”, making the battle feel like a parent-child clash from the first moment.
Father-son framing
"How awkward is that? Clashing my son and I taught him to rap."
He expands the son angle by claiming SKAMZ learned from him, so facing him now looks like a student challenging his teacher.
Level setting
"We’re both black, we are the same race, but we don’t run the same."
REN separates shared identity from status, saying they may come from the same race but they are not operating at the same level.
Appearance
"Look at his drip, you can tell he ain’t eating, coming like The Hunger Games."
A clothing and poverty joke, saying SKAMZ looks underfed or badly dressed, then linking it to The Hunger Games.
Appearance
"First things first, you’re not funny, you’re just funny looking."
A simple but effective insult, flipping “funny” from humour into appearance.
Efton choke angle
"You went straight to the finals, had to clash Efton, but you couldn’t."
REN attacks SKAMZ’s biggest PenGame weakness: reaching a major moment and failing when it mattered.
Efton choke angle
"You said three lines and choked three times."
A brutal summary of the Efton battle, reducing SKAMZ’s final performance to repeated choking.
Comedy response
"The only time you see me choke is the day I tried his mummy’s cooking."
REN turns the choke angle into a joke, saying he only chokes from bad food, not under battle pressure.
Humiliation
"How’s man handed you dough when he handed you smoke?"
This refers to Efton beating SKAMZ and then giving him money, making SKAMZ look like he got paid after being embarrassed.
Name flip
"Instead of doing exams, your son is doing up scams."
REN attacks SKAMZ’s name and maturity, saying he should be focused on education rather than fraud-style image.
Career critique
"PenGame’s all you have, cause nobody’s rating your rap tunes."
A career attack, arguing SKAMZ only matters in the battle space because his actual music is not respected.
Level setting
"I am the king of the jungle, you are the king of the stumbles."
A clean contrast bar: REN gives himself dominance while reducing SKAMZ to someone known for mistakes.
Appearance
"I ain’t seen him for a while, now his hair’s all grown and he thinks he’s Rapunzel."
REN mocks SKAMZ’s appearance, turning his hair growth into a fairy-tale joke.
Retaliation
"Should’ve never mentioned my daughter, should’ve listened to me."
REN begins his third-round retaliation by saying SKAMZ crossed a line first, so the personal response is justified.
Retaliation
"I don’t need to war him, I’ma just bar him, and the truth is I’ma still win."
REN says he does not need to physically threaten SKAMZ because his writing and information are enough.
Exposing opponent
"Went from a bad man to Nicki Minaj."
REN claims SKAMZ acted tough publicly, then softened behind the scenes when the pressure came back.
Exposing opponent
"Don’t think I’ma get info and not use it."
This explains REN’s whole third-round strategy: if information has been given to him, he will weaponise it.
Exposing opponent
"I printed the full pic, so try and tell me that’s not you."
A receipt-based attack, using a printed image as evidence rather than just making a claim.
Crowd chant
"When I say SKAMZ, get out of here."
REN turns the end of his round into a chant, trying to make the crowd participate in dismissing SKAMZ.
Crowd chant
"SKAMZ, SKAMZ, get out of here."
The repeated chant becomes a performance moment, even if the judges later questioned whether the prop angle itself was enough.
