The insults ran deep and cheap on Monday nights rap battle betweenGirls and Star Wars actor Riz Ahmed and Late Late Show hostJames Corden.
The crowd deemed Ahmed the freestyle winner. Though for someone who also raps in real life, the Rogue One actors jabs at Corden were mostly predictable fat jokes: You look like Matt Damon if he only ate butter to I saw you at Coachella you were the big white tent. After Corden made a dig at Ahmeds Rogue One performance (making him miss the days of Jar Jar Binx), Ahmed retorted, too bad they werent casting Jabba the Hutts dad.
Corden compensated for his lack of flow with more nuanced attacks, both funny and biting. He began his freestyle announcing Ahmeds lyrics lack depth just like when he acts. Ahmed took a few swings at Cordens show, calling him an Ellen hack and a singing Uber driver. But when Corden called Ahmed the worlds worst version of Will Smith, the crowd actually went silent.
