Metro Boomin Calls Out Rappers Who Are “Scared” To Publicly Support His New Album
Metro Boomin has called out fake folks in the industry who are “scared” to support his new album. On Monday (April 1), the Grammy award-winning producer took to X/Twitter to criticize his peers who were afraid to show him and Future love after releasing We Don’t Trust You.
“I see a lot of ni**as been scared to post the album too,” the outspoken artist typed. “#IForgiveButIDontForget #WEDONTTRUSTYOU.” He then followed up with subsequent messages. The first post proclaimed that the musician entered his “#Villainera,” while the second one was catered to his fans and friends who have supported their new LP. “FEELING BLESSED, FEELING GRATEFUL,” Metro typed. “PUTTING SOMETHING CRAZY TOGETHER WITH THE TEAM TO SHOW APPRECIATION TO ALL THE SUPPORTERS.”
Fans quickly began speculating as to whom Metro’s message may be directed at. The xweet received over 8,000 comments, guessing who could be the “scared” figures. Many fans pointed at 21 Savage as the main culprit. Fans pointed out that Savage, who is one of Metro’s frequent collaborators, hasn’t posted about the album or any of the singles.
“Metro dissing 21, it’s over,” one fan typed. “Bro, I swear to God, please don’t stop working with 21 Savage. That will be a HUGE void in Hip-Hop,” another person shot out. But other fans quickly called out Metro Boomin for being scared to call out specific names.
Spectators also clowned on the musician for previously xweeting about Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss for winning more awards over his album, Heroes & Villians. “Twitter fingers back at it again lmfao you would sure know about being scared, mr. tweet & delete,” the account snarked. “People gassed this female dog into thinking he’s Quincy Jones,” another account quipped. “Whole time he needs those artists way more than they need him. Prepare to be completely forgotten in a few decades; you’re not that guy.”
Metro Boomin and Future kicked off the vitriol when they released their album, We Don’t Trust You. The album contained several veiled shots at an unnamed person whom both men deemed “fake,” “untrustworthy,” “lame,” and more. But the album’s track, “Like That,” featuring Kendrick Lamar, cemented who and what they were talking about: Drake.
On the track, Kendrick asserts he is in a class of his own. He aggressively ponders the notion that the oft-spoken “Big Three”—including himself, J. Cole, and Drizzy—is real. He takes shots at both emcees and references their track, “First Person Shooter.” Toward the end of his verse, K. Dot also references Drake’s recent album, For All The Dogs.
“Like That” has since become No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. We Don’t Trust You also hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
