Metro Boomin and Future Address Drake Beef

Metro Boomin has revealed that a “personal matter” was the reason behind the beef between him and Drakewhich resulted in several diss tracks and even the involvement of Kendrick Lamar.

TIDAL’s Elliott Wilson took to social media to share snippets of Metro and Futures GQ cover story, where the pair addressed the feud from their own perspectives. “Me and (Drake), we had a personal problem, and for the record, not over some girl or anything stupid like that,” he told GQ’s Frazier Tharpe, but did not go into detail about the alleged issue. “It was a personal issue that really hurt me and disappointed me. But if you take all the rap entertainment out of it, it’s like, have you ever been really cool with someone and you fell out over something? It happens every day. It is just plain s–t. This just happens to have an audience.”

The producer further clarified that he and Future did not collaborate on theirs WE DON’T TRUST YOU album series with the intention of starting a war with Drizzy, “People really think we sat for two years and made two albums (to be) like, Yo, fuck this dude. What kind of s* Young Metro continued, “Do you really think we’re going to spend that much time, effort, resources just trying to get someone on an album? Exploding budgets on two albums – going over budget? That’s some serious hate. None of us rock like that.

But despite the personal issues between them, Boomin expressed regret over some hurtful words about Drake that he shared publicly on X, “Now I had my moment online, which I really regret. I should have been stronger than that. It was out of character for me . But at a certain point, it’s like I don’t rap, bro, so you’re just going to throw me on all these songs (…) I don’t get in the booth, so I I can tweet at you.”

While Metro was more open about his side of the beef, Future played it cool. “It was a beef?” he said: “I didn’t even know there was a beef. I didn’t even know they didn’t have anything going on. I never participated in rap battles, man.” He was more verbal about being left out of the “big three” lineup on “First Person Shooter,” with J. Cole claiming that only he, Drizzy and Kendrick Lamar occupied those spots. “I will be the one who gets angry; I’m still confused about it,” Future replied. “No one cares what I think. That’s what was so bad about this shit. To the point that I’m such a player that I haven’t even said anything to the public about how I feel about it. Like, why is everyone mad when he talked about me on my song? So you guys just forgot about me, I’m not part of this big three, I’m nobody on my song, man.”
