As a long-time fan of both Metro Boomin and Drake, I must say that it’s always interesting to hear about the behind-the-scenes drama in the world of hip-hop. The revelation that their beef was due to a personal issue is not surprising, as such issues often fuel feuds in the industry. It’s like when your best friend and you had a fallout over something petty, but everyone else around you thought it was about something more significant.
Metro Boomin recently disclosed that a private matter served as the catalyst for the conflict between him and Drake, leading to multiple diss songs and even drawing in Kendrick Lamar.
Elliott Wilson, from TIDAL, posted bits of the GQ cover story featuring Metro Boomin and Future on social media. In this interview, they spoke about their ongoing feud, each offering their individual viewpoints. When asked by Frazier Tharpe about his issues with Drake, Metro explained, “Our problems were personal, and for the record, it wasn’t because of a girl or any immature reasons.” He didn’t elaborate on the specific issue, but compared it to a situation where friends fall out over something. In simpler terms, he said, “Have you ever had a disagreement with someone that upset you? It’s nothing extraordinary; it just so happens that this argument has a broader audience.
The producer made it clear that he and Future didn’t create their “WE DON’T TRUST YOU” album series with the aim of instigating a feud with Drake, stating, “It’s hard to believe we spent two years crafting these albums just to take shots at this guy. What kind of absurd idea is that?” Young Metro further explained, “Would we really invest so much time, energy, and resources into attacking someone on an album? Going over budget like that? That’s extreme animosity. Neither of us operates like that.
Even though they had some personal disagreements, Boomin admitted that he regretted some harsh remarks about Drake he made online. He acknowledged that he should have been more restrained and those words were out of character for him. Essentially, he wished he hadn’t responded the way he did, especially since he doesn’t create music like Drake does; instead, he chose to express his feelings through tweets.
In a somewhat cryptic manner, Future seemed to downplay the rumored conflict between him and Metro, implying that he wasn’t aware of it. “A beef?” he asked, “I didn’t know about it. I didn’t even realize they had anything going on. I don’t engage in rap battles, man.” He was more vocal about feeling excluded from the “big three” mention in J. Cole’s “First Person Shooter,” a song where only J. Cole, Drake, and Kendrick Lamar were named. “I should be the one who’s upset; I’m still puzzled by that,” Future stated. “Nobody seems to care about my opinion. That’s what was so frustrating about the whole thing. To the point where I didn’t even speak publicly about how I felt about it. It’s like, why are people angry when he mentioned me on his song? So y’all just forgot about me, I’m not part of this Big Three, I’m nobody in that song, man.
