Metro dismissed speculation that his collaboration with Future on the two albums, "We Don’t Trust You" and "We Still Don’t Trust You", was an intentional attack on Drake.
"People really think we sat for two years, making two albums [to be] like, Yo, f*ck this dude. What kind of sh*t is that?"
He said. Metro called out the absurdity of wasting time, effort, and massive budgets on such a vendetta.
"That's some serious hate. Neither one of us rock like that."
Reflecting on his own actions, Metro admitted he regretted his angry tweets aimed at Drake. He described it as a lapse in judgment. Metro explained that social media felt like his only outlet.
“Now I did have my moment online, which I do regret. I should have been stronger than that. That was out of character for me, But at a certain point, it’s like, I don’t rap, bro, so you’re going to just sh*t on me on all of these songs [...] I’m not going to get in the booth, so I’m finna tweet at you.”

Future, on the other hand, seemed indifferent to the drama. He revealed that he felt overlooked in the ongoing "Big Three" debate involving Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole.
Future questioned why no one considered his feelings when Kendrick made bold claims about being the best on their collaborative track "Like That".
"I'm supposed to be the one who gets mad; I'm still confused about that, Nobody cares what I think. That's what was so f*cked up about the shit. To the point where I'm so player that I ain't even said anything to the public about how I feel about it. Like, why is everybody mad when he was talking about me on my song?"
Both Metro and Future’s comments highlight the complexity of relationships in the hip-hop world.
Through their perspectives, they remind fans that personal growth and professionalism are key, even in an industry as competitive as rap.
