Drake has accomplished a lot in his career as a rapper so far, breaking records left and right. Therefore, it comes as no surprise when Drake decides to respond to some shade from his fellow rappers, especially over petty matters. This is exactly what happened with Metro Boomin recently.
Metro Boomin took to Twitter to share his thoughts on the streaming figures of his album, Heroes & Villains, compared to Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss. After a report highlighted the impressive streaming numbers of Heroes & Villains, Metro commented on the fact that despite its success, Her Loss continues to win rap album of the year over his project – throwing shade at Drizzy.
“Yet Her Loss keeps winning rap album of the year over H&V. Proof that award shows are just politics and not for me. Idc about awards honestly, the true award and REWARD is knowing that the music I spend so much time on brings joy to people’s everyday lives.”
Drake, never one to back down from any kind of petty fight, seemed to respond on his Instagram Stories by quoting lyrics from JAY-Z’s song “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love).”
“Damn. little mans, I’m just tryin’ to do me/ If the record’s two mil, I’m just tryin’ to move three.”
It’s worth noting that Metro Boomin is credited as a producer on one song from Her Loss (“More M’s”) and has collaborated with Drake on various records in the past, including hits like “Jumpman” and “Knife Talk.” Regardless, the two seem to have some beef and fans hope they can squash it eventually.
