Metro Boomin Says Fallout With Drake Came From Personal…

Metro Boomin has shed light on the conflict between himself and Drake in a new interview with GQ Magazine. Metro and Future appear on the cover of the magazine’s ‘Men of the Year’ issue, and the quotes from the unreleased piece were shared by Elliott Wilson on social media on Wednesday.

“Me and (Drake), we had a personal problem, and for the record, not over no girl or anything stupid like that,” Metro told GQ senior editor Frazier Tharpe, courtesy of Wilson. “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 somebody and you fell out?” he continued. “It happens every day. It’s just plain shit. This just happens to have an audience.”

Metro also vehemently denied the theory that he made this plan to collaborate with Future and others for the sole purpose of attacking Drizzy on his two collab albums, We don’t trust you and We still don’t trust you.

“People really think we sat for two years and made two albums (to be) like, Yo, fuck this guy. What the hell is this?,” the 31-year-old producer stated. “Do you really think we’re going to spend this much time, effort, resources just trying to get someone on an album? Exploded budgets on two albums – underway over budget? That’s some serious hate. None of us rock like that.”

Metro also admitted that he regrets posting malicious tweets about Drake, calling it a “moment online” and acknowledging that he should have shown more restraint on social media. “Now I had my moment online, which I really regret. I should have been stronger than that. It was out of character for me,” he said. “But at a certain point it’s like, I don’t rap bro, so you’re just going to be yelling at me on all these songs (.. .) I’m not getting in the booth so I can be tweeting at you .”

Meanwhile, Future appeared to act completely oblivious to the existence of a feud. “Was there a beef?” he asked with a smile, according to GQ. “I didn’t even know there was a beef. I didn’t even know they had nothing going on. I’ve never been in rap battles, man.”

Fewtch also questioned why no one wondered if he felt a certain way about being left out of the Big Three discussion, especially with Kendrick Lamar declaring himself the best while calling out both Drake and J .Cole on Future and Metro’s song “Like That.”

“I’m supposed to be the one getting mad; I’m still confused about that,” he said. “No one cares what I think. That’s what was so fucked up about that shit. To the point where I’m so game 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 the big three, I’m nobody on my song, man.”

Future added, “If I didn’t get mad, no should have gotten mad. If I would have been really mad about it and I did something about it, someone else might be like, Oh, I can do something else with it.”

Earlier this month, DJ Akademiks refuted Wilson’s latest claim that Drake and Future have resolved their issues. During a live stream, Ak cited “extremely credible” sources saying the two have not spoken, contrary to Wilson’s earlier report. According to him, no progress has been made in repairing their strained friendship.

Back in March, Metro responded to speculation that Drake and Future were dating a woman. “You stop making stuff up and enjoy the music,” Metro tweeted under an account that claimed the two rappers are at odds over a woman named Diana.
