Future & Metro Boomin have been named GQ‘s 2024 ‘Hit Makers Of The Year,’ in their annual ‘Man Of The Year’ issue. Other industry heavyweights who made the list include Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Pharrell Williams, and Shaboozey. The duo stuns as they grace the magazine’s yearly cover, getting more personal than ever as they reveal how their hit track, “Like That,” led to one of the most ferocious rap battles hip hop has seen. Metro Boomin tells GQ his issues with Drake stem from a “personal issue.”
However, the Atlanta native didn’t go into specifics about the alleged situation between him and the Her Loss rapper. “It was a personal issue that really hurt me and disappointed me,” he told the outlet. “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 sh*t. This just happens to have an audience.”
Future says he had no knowledge of beef Between Metro Boomin, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake
On the other hand, Future is none the wiser in the war of words between Kendrick and Drake. “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.” The war of words between Lamar and Drake kicked off after the release of Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That.” The single featured a fiery rap from Lamar, where he took multiple shots at Drake. The track was rumored to be a response to Drake and J.Cole’s,” First Person Shooter.”
The “Headlines” rapper quickly fired back with “Push Ups,” where he called out Lamar, Rick Ross and The Weeknd. Following the release of Drake’s “Push Ups,” Kendrick offered his blistering response with “Euphoria.” Throughout the track, Lamar makes several accusations against the Toronto rap star and offers his interpretation of Toronto slang. “Talk about me and my family, crodie?/Someone gon’ bleed in your family, crodie,” Lamar raps. “I be at New Ho King eatin’ fried rice with a dip sauce and a blammy, crodie.”
He would eventually follow that up with “Taylor Made Freestyle.” However, it removed from social media due to threats from Tupac Shakur’s estate, after the rapper used AI-generated voices of Pac and Snoop Dogg. Not too long after, Kendrick fired back with two more diss tracks, “6:16 in LA” and “Not Like Us,” which has been breaking records across multiple streaming platforms.
