In the ever-evolving world of hip-hop, clashes and disagreements among artists are no strangers to the limelight. The latest feud-grabbing headlines involve Drake and Metro Boomin, two giants in the industry whose exchange of words on social media has set tongues wagging.
The tension seemingly ignited when Twitter users pointed out the staggering success of Metro Boomin's "Heroes & Villains," amassing a remarkable 3.7 billion streams in a single year. However, the accolades seemed skewed as Drake and 21 Savage's album, "Her Loss," continued to secure wins in the rap album category, prompting Metro Boomin to voice his discontent in a now-deleted tweet.
"“Yet 'Her Loss' keeps winning rap album of the year over 'H&V.' Proof that award shows are just politics and not for me,""Metro Boomin
shedding light on his disillusionment with the industry's accolades. He further emphasized his indifference towards awards, prioritizing the genuine reward of bringing joy to people's lives through his music.
Drake, known for his cryptic social media responses, chose to reply indirectly. He shared lyrics from Jay-Z's “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love)” on his Instagram story, quoting:
"“Damn, little mans, I’m just tryin’ to do me/ If the record’s two mil, I’m just tryin’ to move three.”"Jay-Z
