Metro Boomin is making it clear that he won’t take the blame for the end of Drake and Future’s collaborative era. As one of the most influential trap producers of the 2010s, Metro played a key role as executive producer on the 2015 collaborative mixtape What a Time to Be Alive, which brought Drake and Future together. He had also worked with both artists individually, most notably contributing to Future’s critically acclaimed DS2 album, also released in 2015.
The perceived tension between the artists resurfaced last year when Metro and Future publicly feuded with Drake. The drama escalated when the duo teamed up with Kendrick Lamar on the Billboard-topping single “Like That,” which appeared on Metro and Future’s joint album We Don’t Trust You. The release sparked a wave of diss tracks and speculation about a falling out between Drake and Future.
On September 12, a fan on X (formerly Twitter) directly blamed Metro for the lack of new collaborations between Drake and Future, writing, “Ur f**ka** the reason we ain’t getting no more Pluto and Drizzy f*** your day.” Metro’s response was dismissive: “cry me a river f*** boy [crying emoji],” signaling he refuses to accept responsibility for the situation. Last November, Metro told GQ that the fallout stemmed from a “personal issue” that left him “hurt and disappointed,” framing it as a normal part of personal relationships rather than something rooted in professional betrayal.
Metro has consistently maintained that he respects all his collaborators, even in the competitive and high-stakes world of hip-hop. At Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Summit, he reiterated his admiration for the artists he works with, stopping short of naming Drake directly. Despite public speculation and ongoing fan discussion, Metro appears content to leave the narrative where it stands, emphasizing that falling outs happen in everyday life, even when played out in front of millions of fans.
