GQ is ending 2024 with the journal’s extremely anticipated “Males of the Yr” lists, and Future and Metro Boomin have been topped “Hitmakers of the Yr” after back-to-back chart-topping albums.
A collaboration venture between the 2 Atlanta natives was lengthy overdue and over-delivered, but it was nonetheless overshadowed by hip-hop beef.
Following We Don’t Belief You, and We Nonetheless Don’t Belief You from the duo, that headline-making feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar befell. Whereas the meat began on “Like That” from the primary collaborative album, Future and Metro’s takes on the scenario would possibly shock you.
The duo coated GQ to debate their joint albums, the fallout from each albums and their stance on what transpired after.
Based on Metro, the albums weren’t created to focus on Drake.
“Folks actually assume we sat for 2 years, making two albums [to be] like, Yo, f**okay this dude. What sort of sh*t is that?” requested Metro. “You actually assume we’re going to spend that a lot time, effort, assets on simply attempting to get at anyone on an album? Blowing budgets on two albums-going over funds? That’s some critical hate. Neither certainly one of us rock like that.”
Some Drake followers would possibly view his phrases as backtracking on Metro’s half after creating the “BBL Drizzy” beat and sharing memes in the course of the beef, however however, he had extra to say.
Metro finally addressed the elephant within the room and shared the backstory of his points with Drizzy, kinda.
“Me and [Drake], we had a private difficulty, and for the file, not over no woman or nothing foolish like that,” Metro informed GQ senior editor Frazier Tharpe, in accordance with a screenshot shared by Elliott Wilson. “It was a private difficulty that actually harm me and dissatisfied me. However in case you take all of the rap leisure out of it, it’s like, have you ever ever been actual cool with anyone, and y’all fell out over one thing?,” he continued. “It occurs every single day. It’s simply common sh*t. This simply occurs to have an viewers.”
Future Lastly Addresses “Like That” & The Drake Vs. Kendrick Lamar Beef
Future additionally addressed the feud between Drake and Kendrick and initially joked that he wasn’t conscious of any difficulty between the rappers. He went on to allege that “nobody cared about him” or thought he was ok for J. Cole’s “massive three” (J. Cole, Drake, Kendrick Lamar)—so why ought to he care about them?
“There was a beef?” requested Future in GQ.“I didn’t even know there was a beef. I didn’t even know that they had nothing happening. I ain’t by no means participated in rap battles, man.”
Elsewhere within the interview, Future dropped a bombshell alleging that Kendrick dissed him on his personal track and primarily handled him like an afterthought.
“He stated ‘Large Three’ on my track,” Future stated recalling Kendrick’s “Like That” Verse. “No person cares about what I believe,” stated Future, breaking into amusing. “That’s what was so f**ked up in regards to the sh*t. To the purpose the place I’m so participant that I ain’t even stated something to the general public about how I really feel about it. Like, why is all people mad when he was speaking about me on my track? So y’all simply forgot about me, I ain’t a part of this Large Three, I’m no one on my track, man,” he says with fake self-deprecation. “If I didn’t get mad, no one ought to have gotten mad! If I’d have been actually mad about it and I made one thing out of it, then another person could possibly be like, Oh, I could make one thing else about it.”
When requested by GQ if he’s cool with all of the events concerned, Future firmly acknowledged that he has no cause to have any points together with his friends.
“Yeah. Who I’m not cool with? As a result of I ain’t acquired nothing to be mad about. Discover one thing I must be mad at them about, then I assume I’ll get mad.” Future informed GQ. “Received no cause to be mad at no one,” Future says, shrugging once more. “I simply informed you, I’m chilling. Do I sound like I’m mad at anyone?”
We hate to be those to disagree with Future, however it appears like he’s seemingly mad at Kendrick Lamar. What appeared like a 20 vs. 1 towards Drake is slowly morphing into one thing fully totally different. Drake and Future saved the subliminal jabs mild towards each other, and reconciliation appears to be imminent. Younger Thug even beforehand referred to as for everybody to make amends and restore their relationships.
