The ongoing saga of the Drake feud has taken another turn, this time with record producer Metro Boomin stepping in to dispel rumors and clarify the situation.  Following the release of a remix to Kanye West’s song “Like That,” speculation swirled online about a potential escalation in the tension between Drake and other artists, particularly Pusha T.

Here’s a closer look at what transpired and how Metro Boomin set the record straight.

Remix Fuels the Fire

Let’s rewind a bit. According to the Uproxx, the feud between Drake and Kanye has been ongoing for years, with various incidents exacerbating the situation. At one point, they seemed to reconcile, but the truce was short-lived. Kanye West recently released a remix of his song “Like That,” reigniting discussions surrounding the ongoing feud between Drake and several other

rappers. The remix, featuring additional verses from himself and others, was seen by some as a potential catalyst for further lyrical clashes.  This, coupled with Metro Boomin’s past collaborations with both Drake and Future, led some to believe that the producer might be pulling the strings behind a broader musical confrontation.

Here’s snippet of verse 

“ They been tryna be on they best behavior

Now I gotta get on Kanye Wеst behavior (I did)

Kendrick spazzed out, that was thе best he gave ya (I did)

But y’all knew y’all had to save the best for later (That mean)

Y’all so outta sight, outta mind (Outta sight)

I can’t even think of a Drake line (Nigga, who?)

Play J. Cole, get the pussy dry (I’m a god)

Play this shit back a hundred-thirty times (Yeah)

Social Media Sparks Confusion

Adding fuel to the fire, a tweet that Metro Boomin allegedly “liked” expressed a desire for Pusha T’s involvement in the “Like That” remix. This online interaction sparked a wave of speculation, with fans and media outlets interpreting it as a hint towards a potential Pusha T diss track aimed at Drake.  However, the specific content of the tweet and its current availability remain unclear.

Fans began to wonder if this was just the beginning, with Metro Boomin and Future potentially bringing even more artists into the fold.

As rumors about Pusha T’s involvement gained traction, Metro Boomin took to social media to address the situation directly. Responding to an article that presented the alleged “liked” tweet as a confirmation of Pusha T’s participation, Metro Boomin simply called it “fake news.” This response left fans wondering – was he refuting the existence of the tweet, the idea of a Pusha T verse, or both?

The rumors seem to have stemmed from a now-deleted tweet that Metro Boomin allegedly liked according to .  This tweet, according to some, suggested that Pusha T would be a perfect fit for the remix.  This sparked a wildfire of speculation on social media, with many outlets interpreting the like as a cryptic message hinting at Pusha T’s participation.

While the exact details surrounding the deleted tweet remain unclear, one thing is certain: Metro Boomin wants fans to know that Pusha T will not be involved in any future iterations of “Like That.” This puts a definitive end to the speculation and clarifies Metro Boomin’s stance on the ongoing feud.

Beyond the Headlines: What Does This Mean for the Hip-Hop Landscape?

Metro Boomin’s intervention serves as a reminder that not every social media interaction or artistic collaboration should be interpreted as a continuation of the Drake feud.  While the “Like That” remix undoubtedly reignited discussions about the ongoing tension, it’s important to separate creative ventures from personal conflicts.

This incident also highlights the power and pitfalls of social media in the music industry.  A single like, misinterpreted or not, can send the rumor mill into overdrive.  In this case, Metro Boomin’s swift response helped to control the narrative and prevent further speculation.

Looking Forward: Where Do We Go From Here?

With Metro Boomin putting the Pusha T rumors to rest, the focus can now shift back to the music itself.  Fans can continue to dissect the “Like That” remix and anticipate what future projects these talented artists might have in store.

Whether this marks a new chapter in the Drake feud or simply a creative detour for Kanye West remains to be seen.  One thing is for sure, the hip-hop landscape is constantly evolving, and Metro Boomin’s actions serve as a reminder that not every collaboration or social media interaction is a harbinger of conflict.

As the music industry continues to navigate the ever-changing digital landscape, clear communication and a focus on the music itself will be crucial in separating artistic expression from personal disputes.  Metro Boomin’s decision to address the rumors head-on demonstrates a commitment to this principle, ensuring that the conversation remains centered on the creative power of hip-hop.
