Medan Future bjuder på intressant take.
I en ny omslagsintervju med GQ har Metro Boomin och Future adresserat beefen med Drake. Framförallt den förstnämnda avslöjar en del detaljer kring vad som låg bakom den plötsliga dispyten som resulterade i ett av årets mest uppmärksammade bråk.
Via Elliott Wilson går följande citat att läsa från intervjun:
“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”, säger Metro Boomin i intervjun, tyvärr utan att utveckla vidare.
“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? It happens every day. It’s just regular shit. This just happens to have an audience.”
Metro Boomin adresserar också teorin om att båda samarbetsalbumen med Future, “We Don’t Trust You” och “We Still Don’t Trust You”, var planerade och noga utförda för att attackera Drake.
“People really think we sat for two years, making two albums [to be] like, Yo, fuck this dude. What kind of shit is that? 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”, menar Metro.
Han uppger senare att han ångrar saker han sa på X, som han kallar “a moment online” och att han borde varit bättre på att tygla sig själv.
“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. 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.”

Future, å andra sidan, erbjöd en helt annan vinkel på frågorna om beefen. En delvis sarkastisk sådan, men också en talande. Han menar bland annat att Kendrick Lamars vers i själva verket måste ha varit riktad mot honom då han, med all rätt, ser sig själv som en del av toppskiktet inom hiphop.
“There was a beef? I didn’t even know there was a beef. I didn’t even know they had nothing going on. I ain’t never participated in rap battles, man”, säger han först skämtsamt innan han fortsätter:
“I’m supposed to be the one who gets mad; I’m still confused about that. Nobody cares what I think. That’s what was so fucked up about the shit. To the point where I’m so player that I ain’t even said anything to the public about how I feel about it. Like, why is everybody mad when he was talking about me on my song? So y’all just forgot about me, I ain’t part of this Big Three, I’m nobody on my song, man.”
Han tillägger sedan:
“If I didn’t get mad, nobody should have gotten mad. If I would have been really mad about it and I made something out of it, then someone else could be like, Oh, I can make something else about it.”

Just Elliott Wilson hävdade för ett tag sedan att Future och Drake löst sina problem, men detta ifrågasattes dock av YouTube-profilen DJ Akademiks. Det återstår att se hur relationen mellan profilerna utvecklas framöver.
