The rap world is no stranger to feuds and rivalries, and the latest drama involves heavyweights Drake and Metro Boomin. The tension between the two has been palpable ever since Drake's clash with Kendrick Lamar. Metro Boomin has been relentless in his jabs at Drake, but it seems like Drake might have just scored a significant victory.
In his latest collaboration with rising star Sexyy Red, titled "U My Everything," Drake addresses some hot topics head-on. The track, which features production by Tay Keith, takes an interesting turn midway through. Keith switches the beat to Metro Boomin's "BBL Drizzy" instrumental, setting the stage for Drake to address recent accusations and rumors.
Drake's verse touches on the subject of plastic surgery, a topic that's been swirling around him recently. He mentions that his wealth funds plastic surgeries for women worldwide but gives a shoutout to his "Rich Baby Daddy" collaborator, Sexyy Red, advising her to keep things natural. He raps, "BBL Drizzy, they want a new body, they ask me for it ... But Red, don’t even worry about all of that s**t/Just keep it natural for ’em, I swear.”
The choice of beat is no coincidence. Earlier this week, Metro Boomin performed the "BBL Drizzy" beat for his hometown St. Louis Cardinals' fans during a live performance on his bobblehead night. This event came after Rick Ross accused Drake of having fake abs, adding another layer to the ongoing feud. However, the tables seem to have turned, with Drake now taking control of the narrative.

It's worth noting that Sexyy Red, a native of St. Louis herself, appears to be firmly in Drake's camp. This allegiance is underscored by the new track's inclusion on her and Tay Keith's mixtape, "In Sexyy We Trust." The move to feature the controversial beat on their project suggests they might have outmaneuvered Metro Boomin for the production credit, further intensifying the rivalry.
The 2024 Rap Wars are heating up, and it’s clear that all is fair in this musical battlefield. With both sides bringing their A-game, fans are in for an exciting ride as these titans of hip-hop continue to vie for supremacy.
