In the heated world of HipHop, headlines are made when rap icons lock horns. The latest tale making waves involves Toronto rap luminary Drake and St. Louis superstar musician Metro Boomin. One surprising conciliator in this scenario is rapper 21 Savage, who recently broke his silence on the beef between his ‘brothers.’
21 Savage, known for his close working ties with both Drake and Metro Boomin, was silent on this feud until recently. Seeing his Instagram Live flooded with comments concerning the feud, the Atlanta rapper took a stand, expressing his allegiance to both artists and confidence in their potential reconciliation. He audaciously stated, “Metro my brother and Drake my brother. They gon’ figure that shit out eventually.”
It’s important to understand the interconnectedness of these three rap icons. In 2022, 21 Savage teamed up with Drake for the joint album ‘Her Loss’, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has been his highest-selling release, attaining 2x platinum status. He also has a rich history of multiple projects with Metro Boomin, including 2016’s ‘Savage Mode,’ 2017’s ‘Without Warning’ alongside Offset, and 2020’s ‘Savage Mode II.’
The controversy between Drake and Metro Boomin ignited in March when the producer released ‘We Don’t Trust You’ with Future. Despite previous collaborations, this album took several jabs at the OVO Sound hitmaker, Kendrick Lamar being most notable with his song “Like That.” The back-and-forth between these artists escalated, leading to Drake furiously telling Metro “shut your ho ass up and make some drums” on his diss track ‘Push Ups.’
In an interesting turn of events, Metro launched the “BBL Drizzy” contest, encouraging fans and artists to rap (or sing) over a beat he created with a sample of a woman singing the phrase “BBL Drizzy.” Seeing the response overflooding with submissions, Metro upped the ante, offering the winner $10,000 and a free beat.
With such intrigue, drama, and potential reconciliation, it’s a must-watch scenario for all Hip-hop fans. While we wait for these rap magnates to resolve their differences, indulge in their music and merch, rekindling their rich contributions to the rap world.
