Metro Boomin reveals that his involvement in the 2024 Rap Wars against Drake is rooted in a personal conflict with the Canadian rapper that left him feeling frustrated.
While speaking with GQ for the 2024 Men Of The Year issue, Metro Boomin set the record straight on him and Drizzy’s friendship. “Me and [Drake], we had a personal issue, and for the record, not over no girl or nothing silly like that. It was a personal issue that really hurt me and disappointed me.”
He also shut down claims that he and Future made it their purpose to create diss albums aimed at Drake, despite the titles of their albums this year being “We Don’t Trust You.”
“People really think we sat for two years, making two albums [to be] like, Yo, f**k this dude. What kind of sh*t is that?,” Metro asked GQ. “You really think we are going to spend that much time, effort, resources on just trying to get at somebody on an album? Blowing budgets on two albums—going overbudget? That’s some serious hate. Neither one of us rock like that.”
The renowned producer played a crucial role in the entire conflict. Metro created the beat for “Like That,” where Kendrick Lamar first targeted Drake, and he also sparked the “BBL Drizzy” movement.
