Kendrick Lamar’s fiery “Like That” verse fuels Metro Boomin-Drake feud rumors

Fans dissect Kendrick's verse for Drake disses, adding fuel to the rumoured feud between Drake and Metro Boomin.

Future and Metro Boomin finally dropped their highly-anticipated album 'We Don't Trust You.' Fans are buzzing about the track 'Like That,' featuring Kendrick Lamar, and are closely analyzing it for any potential disses aimed at Drake, fueled by the rumored feud between Metro Boomin and the rapper.

 

"Yeah, get up with me, fuck sneak dissing/'First Person Shooter,' I hope they came with three switches," Kendrick raps on "Like That" at the 2:19 mark.

"Think I won't drop the location? I still got PTSD/Motherfuck the Big 3, n***a, it's just big me."

Lamar closes out his verse referencing Drake's last album with the bar "'fore all your dogs gettin' buried, that's a K with all these nines, he gon' see Pet Sematary."

The supposed feud started in December 2022 when Metro Boomin reacted to a tweet comparing streaming numbers on his album Heroes & Villains to Drake and 21 Savage's collaboration Her Loss. Metro Boomin wrote, "Yet Her Loss keeps winning rap album of the year over H&V." Though later deleted, the statement implied disappointment and a sense of competition.

Drake seemingly responded with a few subtle jabs. He posted on his Instagram Stories quoting Jay-Z's "Heart of the City," seemingly addressing Metro Boomin. 

Unfollowing Metro Boomin on Instagram fueled the speculation further amongst their fans. Drake edited 21 Savage's album post: He covered Metro Boomin's name with emojis, seen as a petty move.

While not directly addressing Drake, Metro Boomin liked several tweets praising Heroes & Villains. In January 2023, he dismissed the severity of the feud, tweeting "Not deep at all lmao". Metro Boomin and Drake have a history of successful collaborations. 

This rift marks a shift in their relationship. It highlights the competitive nature of the music industry, even among former collaborators. Fans have taken sides, adding to the hype and online conversation.
