Future and Metro Boomin dropped their highly anticipated album We Don't Trust You on Friday, and it's already sparking rumors of a rap beef. While Kendrick Lamar's verse on "Like That" has everyone buzzing about renewed tension with Drake and J. Cole, fans also suspect Future himself might be throwing shade at Drizzy.
Lyric Play and Collaboration History
The speculation stems from lyrics on the album's title track, where Future raps about "fake written all over you" and "hate written all over you." Lines like "can't be 'bout a ho 'cause we sharin' dog" could be a reference to Drake's "For All the Dogs" project, adding fuel to the fire. This comes despite Future being a constant collaborator on Drake's projects from 2016 to 2021, with Drake also featuring on Future's latest album in 2
Possible Reasons for the Rift
The reasons behind the supposed beef are murky. Some fans believe it stems from Drake putting a hold on What a Time to Be Alive 2 in favor of his 2022 album Her Loss with 21 Savage. Others point to Metro Boomin's social media spat with Drake last year, where Metro criticized award shows and seemed to diss Her Loss' success over his own project.
A History of Friction
This wouldn't be the first time sparks flew between Future and Drake. Back in 2013, Future was reportedly kicked off Drake's tour after criticizing Drake's album Nothing Was the Same in an interview.
Is it Beef or Just Music?
While the lyrics and history hint at a potential feud, there's nothing concrete. Metro Boomin downplayed any tension with Drake online, but some fans remain skeptical.
Future and Metro Boomin Still Deliver
Regardless of the off-record drama, We Don't Trust You is a solid project. Future and Metro Boomin's undeniable chemistry shines through diverse tracks like the sinister "Magic Don Juan" and the epic "Claustrophobic." Kendrick Lamar (or should we say Future?) delivers a scorching verse on "Like That," setting the rap world on fire.
Stay Tuned for the Next Chapter
Will Drake and J. Cole respond to Kendrick's verse? Will Future officially reignite the beef? Only time will tell. In the meantime, fans can enjoy We Don't Trust You and speculate about the drama.
