Metro Boomin openly talked about the beef between himself and Drake in a new interview with GQ Magazine. The two artists have the honor of being two of GQ’s “Men Of The Year.”
The hit producer admits that he was frustrated by the fact Drake dissed him on record. Metro isn’t a rapper, obviously, so he felt compelled to respond via social media.
He explained, “Me and [Drake], we had a personal issue, and for the record, not over no girl or nothing silly like that.”
“It was a personal issue that really hurt me and disappointed me,” he added. “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 continued. “It happens every day. It’s just regular shit. This just happens to have an audience.”
Metro also made it clear that the theory to collaborate with Future and others for the sole purpose of attacking Drake is wrong.
“People really think we sat for two years, making two albums [to be] like, Yo, fuck this dude. What kind of shit is that?,” the 31-year-old hitmaker stated. “You really think we are going to spend that much time, effort, resources on just trying to get at somebody on an album? Blowing budgets on two albums—going over budget? That’s some serious hate. Neither one of us rock like that.”
The St. Louis producer further admitted he regrets posting malicious tweets about Drake.
“Now I did have my moment online, which I do regret. I should have been stronger than that. That was out of character for me,” he said. “But at a certain point, it’s like, I don’t rap, bro, so you’re going to just sh*t on me on all of these songs […] I’m not going to get in the booth, so I’m finna tweet at you.”
