Drake And Metro Boomin Will Attend 21 Savage Birthday Party Despite Beef

To say Drake and Metro Boomin aren't cool is an understatement. The rapper and producer who once made hits together are on opposite sides of the culture war. Metro Boomin declared war on Drizzy with "Like That" and "BBL Drizzy." Drake memed him into oblivion by telling him to shut and make drums. It went back and forth for months. Now that the dust has settled, though, the enemies will be attending the same birthday party. Drake and Metro Boomin will both be showing up to support 21 Savage.

21 Savage announced his birthday party plans on social media. He posted a graphic with information about the party, which will focus on 2008-2013 era music. The event will take place on October 19, and Drake decided to poke fun at his longtime friend in the comment section. "So specific," he wrote. "Can we get reference pics?" 21 Savage got back at him and wrote: "Coming soon twin." Metro Boomin has been 21 Savage's day one producer, so he will obviously be in attendance. The fact that Drake and the producer will be in the same space for the first time since the beef is interesting, given the comments both of them have recently made.

 

Metro Boomin Claimed He Still Has Love For Drake

Metro Boomin turned lots of heads when he was asked about the beef during the Forbes 30 Under 30 Summit. He claimed that he "has love" for every artist involved in the conflict, Drake included. "I have love and respect for all my collaborators," he claimed. "I just want to see everybody do their best and continue to help push this forward." Metro Boomin also dismissed the toxic side of the beef by blaming fans. "It's more like Stan culture," the producer added. "It makes it kind of weird."

Drake, on the other hand, publicly spoke about betrayal during a recent appearance in Toronto. The 6 God took the stage at a music event and warned attendees to be aware of who their real friends are. "You’re going to come to a point in life where people you thought were friends," he asserted. "Or people you thought were close to you, switch up. They might stab you in the back. They might do a lot of things to you." Drake obviously considers 21 Savage a real friend, and Metro a fake one. The party should be an interesting one. Hopefully the DJ avoids playing any disses.

Lil Wayne Breaks Silence On Kendrick Lamar's "Wacced Out Murals" Reference

The Lil Wayne and Kendrick Lamar conflict has been a fascinating addendum to the Drake and Lamar battle. Lamar has made it clear that he does not respect the 6 God in any regard. Lil Wayne, on the other hand, is someone he grew up listening to. He even rapped about the irony of letting Weezy down on the first song of his new album, GNX. Fans have gone back and forth as to whether the reference was meant to be a diss towards Wayne or a tacit acknowledgment of the fact that he will be playing the Super Bowl Halftime Show in Lil Wayne's hometown. Well, Weezy has finally given his two cents on the matter.

Lil Wayne went on The Skip Bayless Show to explain what transpired between him and Kendrick Lamar. He absolved the Compton rapper of any fault in the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show. He did not feel slighted by the fact that Dot referenced him by name on "wacced out murals." "Used to bump Tha Carter III, I held my Rollie chain proud," Lamar spits. "Irony, I think my hard work let Lil Wayne down." Lil Wayne clarified that he had not actually heard the song prior to the Bayless interview. Upon having the lyrics read to him, however, he took it as a sign of mutual respect.

Lil Wayne Took Kendrick Lamar's Lyrics In Good Faith

"He's a fan like I'm a fan," the rapper stated. "He saw like everybody else, he saw how much it meant to me. I think that's all he mean." Lil Wayne went to say that he understood what Lamar meant, especially with regard to his hard work. "I understand those words," Weezy assured the host. "He made it there... His hard work is the reason he made it there." Wayne's good faith read of the song makes a lot of sense given that Kendrick Lamar dubbed him the "greatest" in a 2022 interview with The Coveteur.

The Compton rapper, who worked with Wayne on 2018's "Mona Lisa," told the outlet that Weezy's impact on hip hop culture is immeasurable. "We was just huge, still to this day, huge Lil Wayne fans," he explained. "Lil Wayne is the greatest. Not only because of his music but also because of the culture he put behind it. It was a big part of what he was talking about, so we always hold Wayne in high regards." Wayne responded to the interview by calling Lamar a "real one" on Twitter.
