Metro Boomin has suggested that there are rappers in the game that are afraid to support his and Future‘s new album We Don’t Trust You.
While the producer did not explain why he believes artists are scared to publicly promote the project, it can be assumed the disses against Drake have something to do with it.
Shortly after the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, Metro wrote on X on Monday (April 1): “I see a lot of n-ggas been scared to post the album too [crying face emojis] #IForgiveButIDontForget #WEDONTTRUSTYOU [no pedestrians emojis].”
Many fans speculated that the comment was aimed at 21 Savage, who has been a close collaborator of both Metro and Drake, and who has yet to post about We Don’t Trust You (although he has been relatively inactive on social media since the album’s release late last month).

“Metro dissing 21 its over [sad face emoji],” one devastated user wrote in the replies, while another said: “You want to diss 21 savage too? cause you are good at getting people for that.”
Someone else pleaded with Metro not to cut ties with 21: “Bro I swear to God please don’t stop working with 21 Savage that will be a HUGE void in hip hop.”
Metro previously told fans and artists they would have to “pick a side” over We Don’t Trust You, which appears to have led to issues between Drake and Rick Ross who features on the album.
Rozay unfollowed his “Aston Martin Music” collaborator on Instagram and after his ex-girlfriend was given tickets to one of Drizzy’s shows, filmed himself riding around smoking a cigar while listening to Kendrick’s diss verse on “Like That.”
It is not known what could have caused their falling out other than Ross’ appearance on Metro and Future’s album, which contains several shots at the 6 God.
For his part, Drake remains defiant, saying during a concert last month: “I got my fucking head up high, my back straight, I’m 10 fucking toes down in Florida or anywhere else I go, and I know that no matter what there’s not a n-gga on this earth that could ever fuck with me in my life.”
He also seemingly addressed his growing number of enemies on Instagram, writing in one post: “They rather go to war with me than admit they are their own worst enemy” and in another: “I could never sell ya’ll out to sell my latest work. Never do you bad out the blue but I’m down to make it worse.”
J. Cole, who also caught shots from Kendrick Lamar on “Like That,” has yet to issue any kind of response.
