Metro Boomin has let it be known that won't be taking any responsibility for the end of Drake and Future's collaborative saga.
With Metro being one of the go-to trap beatmakers in the 2010s, he was tapped as executive producer of Drizzy and Pluto's 2015 collaborative mixtape, What a Time to Be Alive. Before then, he partnered with both artists on music separately, but mainly Future on mixtapes and albums like DS2, also released in 2015.
But last year, Metro and Future made their beef public with Drizzy by collaborating with Kendrick Lamar on their Billboard chart-topping single "Like That." The song appeared on Metro and Future's first joint album, We Don't Trust You, and kicked off a wave of diss tracks between Kendrick and Drizzy.
On Friday (September 12), Metro was blamed by someone on X for being the reason Drake and Future no longer collab, despite the fact hip-hop journalist Elliott Wilson claimed last year that the rappers resolved their differences over a phone call.
"Ur fuckass the reason we ain't getting no more pluto and drizzy fuck your day," the X user wrote. To which Metro replied: "cry me a river fuck boy [crying emoji]."
In a GQ article from last November, Metro alluded to a falling out with Drake and said it stemmed from a "personal issue" that "really hurt and disappointed" him.
"But if you take all the rap entertainment out of it, it's like, have you ever been real cool with somebody, and y'all fell out over something?" he said. "It happens every day. It's just regular shit. This just happens to have an audience."
Around the same time, Metro spoke on the competitive nature of hip-hop during Forbes' 30 Under 30 Summit and said that he has "love and respect" for all his collaborators, although he didn't call out Drizzy by name.
