Drake vs Metro Boomin

Drake and Metro Boomin worked together for years before their dispute. Metro contributed to What a Time to Be Alive and later collaborated with Drake on “No Complaints,” “Mr. Right Now” and Her Loss.

In early 2023, Metro said he had left Drake’s recorded verse off “Trance” because he believed the original version was complete. He described that decision as creative rather than personal. Metro later said their eventual falling-out came from a separate personal issue that hurt and disappointed him, but he did not disclose the incident.

On December 2, 2023, Metro criticised award shows for favouring Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss over his album Heroes & Villains. Drake replied the next day with a Jay-Z lyric dismissing a “little man.” Later that month, Metro said the situation was “not deep at all,” temporarily playing down the disagreement.

On March 22, 2024, Future and Metro released We Don’t Trust You. Kendrick Lamar used Metro’s project and the song “Like That” to challenge Drake directly. The album made Metro the producer and co-lead artist behind the release that opened the wider 2024 confrontation.

Drake directly attacked Metro on “Push Ups,” telling him to stop speaking and make drums. On “Family Matters,” Drake used Metro’s legal name, insulted him and alleged that he had influenced Future’s break with Drake. Metro denied claims involving his partner and said Drake could not reveal the real reason for their fallout without damaging his own image, but Metro did not provide evidence or disclose the alleged incident.

Metro answered by uploading the “BBL Drizzy” instrumental and offering a free beat and cash prize for the best verse. The giveaway turned a viral Drake parody into Metro’s direct public response. Drake then rapped over the same instrumental on Sexyy Red’s “U My Everything,” using Metro’s diss beat as his own reply.

Metro later told GQ that the original disagreement was personal and had genuinely hurt him. He regretted parts of his online response and rejected the claim that he and Future had spent two years making their joint albums only to attack Drake.

In December 2025, 21 Savage said Drake had apologised to Metro multiple times and that he had tried to bring them together. Neither Drake nor Metro confirmed that account or announced renewed joint work. The direct exchange has stopped, but the undisclosed grievance and lack of a confirmed reconciliation leave the feud publicly unresolved.
