Fans of the renowned artist Drake have expressed their displeasure with super-producer Metro Boomin. The discontent stems from Metro Boomin’s alleged role in fueling rumors about Drake’s past conduct.

A series of questionable tweets, allegedly from Metro Boomin, resurfaced and quickly went viral. These tweets included references to inappropriate conduct.

The intention behind sharing these tweets seemed to highlight that Metro Boomin’s past actions were no better than Drake’s.

However, it’s important to note that these tweets and many others were posted back in 2011. Metro Boomin, now 30, was only 17 and not legally an adult at that time.

Metro Boomin and Drake feud

The tension between the music producer and Drake is not entirely unexpected. Metro Boomin and his frequent collaborator, Future, had publicly distanced themselves from Drake in March. This move gained more attention after Kendrick Lamar’s pointed guest verse on the new track Like That, which appeared to target Drake and his collaborator J. Cole.

Drake and Future have a long history of collaboration, including co-headlining the Summer Sixteen Tour in 2016 and releasing the joint mixtape, What A Time To Be Alive. However, speculation is rife that their relationship soured due to a woman they both may have been involved with.

Listeners have been dissecting the new track’s lyrics, with many believing that Drake may have shared confidential information with a lover, eventually reaching Future. This theory gained traction when fans noticed that Metro had unfollowed Drake on Instagram.

Metro Boomin, however, dismissed these claims, urging fans to stop creating rumors and enjoy the music. It remains unclear whether Metro Boomin denied the feud between Drake and Future or refuted the speculation that their disagreement was over a woman.
