In the ever-volatile world of rap beefs and diss tracks, the rivalry between Drake and Kendrick Lamar stands out as one of the most compelling and controversial sagas. The tension between these two giants was palpable, reaching a boiling point with Kendrick’s infamous line, “Muthafuck the Big Three, n-gga, it’s just Big Me” in Like That. The implication? Kendrick dissing Drake, J. Cole, and himself as part of the so-called Big Three. This line not only set off a firestorm of responses but also left fans wondering who would come out on top in the rap war. Now, Future, a key figure in the rap game, has finally addressed the drama, and it’s not what we expected.
Future’s Confusion and Cunning Smile: Is He Playing the Game?
In a candid interview with Metro Boomin for GQ, Future (aka Pluto) initially played coy when asked about the infamous beef. “Is there a beef? I didn’t even know there was a beef. I’ve never been part of rap wars,” he said, downplaying the tension like it was just another day in the rap world. However, it was his mischievous smile that hinted at something more. Could it be that Future is fully aware of the gravity of the situation but is choosing to keep it low-key for strategic reasons?
As the interview progressed, the tone shifted. Future admitted he was “confused” by Kendrick’s line in Like That aimed at the Big Three. His admission felt genuine, and it’s clear that this wasn’t just another playful jab in the rap game. “No one cared about what I thought,” Future said, suggesting that while Kendrick’s line may have been directed at Drake and J. Cole, Future himself had a right to feel slighted, too.
Future’s Unseen Role and Why He Should Be Pissed Off
What truly stands out here is Future’s perspective on the “Big Three.” He admits that, as part of this elite group, he has every right to feel some type of way about being left out of Kendrick’s diss. “If I’m not upset, no one should be,” Future declares. “I’m supposed to be the one angry here. Why would people be mad when he’s talking about me in my own song? You’ve forgotten about me? I’m not even a part of my own song?” With a touch of self-deprecation, Future underscores how even he feels sidelined in the rap narrative that Kendrick himself helped fuel.
Could it be that Future is using this rap beef as a springboard to reassert his place in the game? After all, staying on the sidelines could cost him his position in the ever-competitive world of hip hop. “If I’m not mad, no one should be,” he insists, in a statement that cuts deep—perhaps more about claiming his respect than truly caring about Kendrick’s words.
Did Future and Metro Boomin Really Team Up Against Drake?
The narrative that Future and Metro Boomin planned an entire campaign against Drake has been circulating, especially after the release of We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You. Critics have suggested that the two masterminded a coordinated attack on the 6 God. But Metro quickly shuts down this idea, calling it preposterous. “Do you really think we sat there for two years, making two albums, just to diss Drake?” Metro asks incredulously. “That’s some serious hate. No one would waste that much energy just to get at someone.”
This claim is particularly interesting, considering the rap culture‘s tendency to stage elaborate feuds for clout. Yet Metro and Future’s denial calls into question how much of this beef is genuine and how much is manufactured for publicity. The line between real animosity and publicity stunts has never been thinner in today’s hip-hop world.
Is This the End of the Beef or Just the Beginning?
As the drama unfolds, fans are left with more questions than answers. Is Future genuinely confused, or is he playing the role of the innocent bystander while fueling the fire from behind the scenes? Will Metro Boomin and Drake resolve their personal rift, or is this the beginning of a deeper divide in the rap community? What’s clear is that Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Future are all playing a game with high stakes—one that’s not just about diss tracks, but about power, respect, and dominance in the ever-competitive rap world.
And when it comes to the rap beef between these heavyweights, one thing is for sure: drama isn’t just expected—it’s the currency that keeps the game alive. Stay tuned, because the next chapter in this battle could be just around the corner
