The newly surfaced audio seemingly confirms that the strain between the 2 industry titans is tied to the homicide of Metro Boomin’s mother, Leslie Wayne.
The feud between Drake and Metro Boomin has been a subject of a lot hypothesis since the collaboration with Future and Kendrick Lamar, with the 2 trading thinly veiled jabs on social media and in songs. However, the foundation trigger remained a thriller, with both sides holding mum on the issue. Metro Boomin himself briefly addressed the animosity in a November 2024 interview with GQ, stating that it was “a personal issue that really hurt me and disappointed me.”
The producer was fast to debunk fan theories, particularly clarifying that it was “not over no girl or nothing silly like that.”

The origin of the meat, according to Young Thug, goes back to the HEROES & VILLAINS period in 2022. The hit music, “Trance,” which options Thugger and Travis Scott, initially had a verse from Drake. However, the Toronto native’s verse never made the ultimate cut, a resolution that Young Thug explained was completely up to Metro Boomin, as it was his file.
Per Lady Whistledown of Atlanta‘s cellphone call, the state of affairs between Drake and Metro allegedly escalated to a level of no return after the tragic death of Metro Boomin’s mother.
Young Thug claims that Drake’s conduct during this time was insensitive and largely self-serving. Thug alleges that Drake barely did something to show his assist for Metro, and was instead more centered on getting his verse on “Trance” than anything. Young Thug expressed his disappointment in Drake’s actions, stating,
“I don’t understand how anybody could approach him about music right now,” the Atlanta enigma said in the cellphone dialog. “It ain’t even nothin’ I can suppose to say. Even if I be like ‘Bro, you know, it’s actually just about supporting me, bruh, and just making an attempt to get us out and just get us back with y’all,’ but it’s like, your momma’s useless.”
King Slime finally felt just like the “What Did I Miss?” artist may have been more of a good friend to Metro than centered on getting music from him in a tough time.
“Then you come right back two, three weeks later like ‘Yo, let me get this song’ instead of doing the whole real procedure of calling the ni**a every single day just figuring it out,” he added.
He also labeled Drake “stupid” for how he dealt with the delicate state of affairs.
“He probably just sent some stupid condolences…instead of giving him some wisdom or something real… Then, you come back two three weeks later like, ‘Yo, let me get this song…’ instead of figuring it out… You using the fact that you’re Drake as a weapon now.”
The fact that Drake allegedly prioritized a music over a good friend’s grieving course of is a narrative that is difficult to shake, and one that is probably going to be a central speaking level in the continuing drama between the 2 artists.
Meanwhile, followers are rallying around Metro Boomin and calling out Drake for his alleged conduct.
