AI Rap Battle Video: How to Make Two Friends Roast Each Other (2026)

To make an AI rap battle video today, make two roast songs (one per friend: the first is free, and buying the first video adds 2 more songs), turn 15 seconds of each into a rap video with that friend's photo ($9.90 per video, or 3 for $19.90), and put the two clips back to back or side by side in any video editor. GetRapVideo makes one rapper per video, so a battle is two videos. It takes about 15 minutes in total, most of it waiting.

The honest limit first

There is no one-click two-person battle on GetRapVideo yet. Each video shows one person (or one pet) rapping to the camera in a recording booth, lip-synced to the 15 seconds of song you picked. A battle needs two of those, plus a quick edit. The upside: each friend gets their own verse, their own beat and their own close-up, and you control the order.

What you need

• Two photos, one per friend, face clearly visible, each from someone who agreed to be in it. Adults only; no celebrities.
• Two songs. Your first song each day is free, and each rap video you buy adds 2 more songs, so the second verse comes with the first friend's video. Or make the second verse tomorrow. Songs you made today stay available if you come back later.
• Two videos. Two singles, or the 3-video bundle if you want a rematch or a third round.
• Any video editor, such as CapCut or the editor built into TikTok or Instagram.

Step 1: Write the two roasts

Make the first song with Who's rapping set to friend A, the roast vibe, and a topic about friend B. Then flip it for the second song.

Good roast material is stuff the other person already jokes about:

• always 20 minutes late
• can't parallel park
• still uses a phone with a cracked screen
• loses every game night, blames the dice

Keep it playful. The roast vibe is built to tease without being cruel, and it leaves out looks, body, race and religion. That is also what makes it funny to the person being roasted. More on writing lines in tips for better AI rap lyrics.

Edit both lyrics until each has one killer line. If you want the second verse to clearly answer the first, add a reply line by hand, like "you call that a roast? I've heard better from my toaster".

Step 2: Pick beats and voices

Give each side its own sound so the battle feels like two rappers:

• Drill or trap for the aggressive side.
• Comedy for the one who leans into the jokes.
• Boom bap for the "old-school veteran".

Pick a male or female voice for each. Editing the lyrics is free and unlimited, so get every line right before you make a song, then listen to it all the way through. Make friend A's song first (that's your free song for the day); friend B's song comes with the 2 songs your first video adds.

Step 3: Make the two videos

Start with friend A's song: pick the 15 seconds with the best punchline (often the chorus), upload that friend's photo and pay. That video adds 2 songs, so now make friend B's song and do the same. Each video takes about 5 minutes and arrives on the page and by email: 15 seconds, vertical 9:16, with sound.

Step 4: Put the battle together

• Back to back (simplest). Friend A's clip, then friend B's. 30 seconds total, which fits TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
• Side by side. Put both clips in a split screen. Better as a reaction, since both play at once and the audio overlaps, so mute one side or offset them.
• Title cards. A one-second "ROUND 1" or each name between clips makes it read like a real battle.
• Let people vote. End with "who won?" in the caption.

Label the post as AI where the platform asks.

What it costs

If a video fails, its credits come back automatically.

Roast rules

• Both friends agree. Only use photos of people who said yes to being in it.
• No real rappers or celebrities, as rappers or as targets.
• No minors.
• Nothing private: no addresses, workplaces, health or relationship details they did not share publicly.
• Punch at habits, not at who someone is.

FAQ

Can two people rap in the same video?

Not yet. One person or pet raps per video, so a battle is two videos edited together.

How many free songs do I get for a battle?

One a day, which covers the first side. Each rap video you buy adds 2 more songs, so buying the first friend's video gives you the second verse with one to spare. Otherwise, make the second verse tomorrow. Songs that fail to generate don't count, and songs you made today stay available.

Can I battle my dog?

Yes. Make one video with your photo and one with your dog's or cat's, each with its own roast. Pets need a clear photo with the face visible.

Will the AI write insults?

It writes playful roasts, not cruel ones. It avoids looks, body, race and religion, and refuses real celebrities' names.

Is there a rap battle generator for lyrics only?

The lyrics step works as one: pick the roast vibe and you get a free verse and chorus. Turning it into a video is optional. See the free AI rap song generator.
