Arguably the mad scientist behind this Civil War, Metro Boomin's feud with Drake first began when the producer chose not to feature the rapper on his song “Trance” from 2022. Heroes and Villains album. In an interview with DJ Drama's Streetz is watching Radio, Metro claimed that the song, which eventually featured Travis Scott and Young Thug, was already done and didn't need an extra verse.
“He really wanted to be involved in it, but I let him know that it really happened. I was really ready for what it was like,” Metro said. “I said, 'Brother, I'm not trying to sell you any dreams. I am locked up where he was.' He'd hit me up and say, “Let me see if there's anything you could add to this.” He used to say, “If you don't like it, then whatever.”
Despite the misunderstanding, Metro appeared on Drake and 21's album Her loss as a co-producer with DAVID x ELI for their song “More Ms.” However, things turned nasty when Metro tweeted and deleted the following while speaking at awards shows Her loss above his album:
However, her loss still wins Rap album of the Year over H&V. proof that the awards are just politics and not about me,” Metro wrote in the since-deleted tweet. “Honestly, for the awards, the real prize and reward is knowing that the music I spend so much time on brings joy to people's everyday lives.”
Shortly after, while performing on Kick, Drake posted a message that some believed was aimed at Metro. “And to the rest of you: the infidels, the underdogs, the tweet-and-deletes, you make me sick to my stomach, famous,” he said during the live stream.
Metro seemed unfazed at first, saying there was no real problem between him and Drake. However, that hasn't stopped Metro from taking potshots at Drake on Instagram and Twitter in recent weeks, with Drake calling him out on “Push Ups,” rapping, “Metro, shut your ass up and make some drums. n–a .” She also teased him on social media, using quotes from the film Drumline to punctuate his points for him by focusing on his production.
