Mustard Leaks Boi-1da’s DMs Where He Calls West Coast Rap “Ass”

by

Mustard and Boi-1da both know what it takes to make great music, especially that represents the regions they are from. It’s always going to be up for debate on which area produces the better material. However, these two are obviously going to be a little bias toward the sounds they are familiar with. Even though they disagree, which is clear by these leaked DMs courtesy of Mustard, there’s got to be a mutual respect… right? Well, there’s definitely not anymore, that’s for sure. Boi-1da made that apparent thanks to some recent messages he sent to the “tv off” beat maker via Messenger.

What starts of the beef is a blurred-out video or photo with the following message attached: “West Coast rap is ass.” Mustard replied bluntly, “hater,” followed by “😂🫵🏿” There appears to be no texts before this that would’ve provoked Boi-1da to just say this. That is unless Mustard decided to hide what would be some telling information. Regardless, he’s very stunned by the “random” verbal attack” on his respective region of hip-hop. “@boi1da tell me this ain’t real crodie,” Mustard captioned the IG Story.

But wait, there’s more. Boi-1da then proceeded to double down on his take after his contemporary tried to sway his opinion. “Ass,” he said again. He then added, “Nobody outside LA wanna hear that s***.” All Mustard could do in that moment was hit back with a laughing emoji. “@boi1da I thought you was a real one i ain’t kno you felt this way,” he captioned this exchange in another IG Story post.

Finally, Mustard shared one more series of messages. These ones are from May, immediately following the release of “Not Like Us.” It’s pretty crushing evidence against Boi-1da, as he was initially congratulating Mustard for the beat on the crushing Drake diss record. “Good s***… Beat hard AF.” He then proceeded to taunt Boi-1da by captioning these DMs, “You said you liked not like us😂 welp there’s enough yellow tape to go around🤷🏿‍♂️” He concluded with one more IG Story, writing, “and that’s the end of my ted talk. Lame a** n****.” Mustard buried him pretty good, so, let’s see how his newest enemy responds.

Boi-1da Thinks JAY-Z Slighted Drake With Super Bowl Halftime Show Pick

by

Boi-1da has been a crucial part of Drake’s sound since day one. He produced “Best I Ever Had” back in 2009, and dominated the production on the rapper’s 2015 classic mixtape If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late. He has never been particularly outspoken on social media, but the producer made his allegiance to Drake known on Monday. Boi-1da liked an Instagram reel comparing Drake’s upcoming sports plans to that of Kendrick Lamar’s. The reel in question theorized that Drake’s global success is threatening to both Dot and Roc Nation head, JAY-Z.

This theory has been floating around for months. DJ Akademiks and other Drake supporters have put forth the idea that JAY-Z felt slighted by Drake’s plan to perform at the World Cup in 2026. The World Cup is among the most viewed events in the world. It tops the list when it comes to sporting events. The World Cup pulls in 5 billion views compared to the Super Bowl. The American sporting event only pulls in an estimated 127 million. Boi-1da liked the Instagram reel claiming that JAY-Z chose Drake’s enemy, K. Dot, as a means of combating this clear disadvantage in terms of popularity.

Boi-1da Implies Drake Is Playing The Long Time

Drake has been talking up his World Cup involvement since September. The rapper sat down with FIFA President Gianni Infantino to discuss the impact the 2026 event will have. He also praised Toronto, his and Boi-1da’s hometown. “Canada as a whole, we have an incredible melting pot,” Drizzy stated. “But in Toronto, there are just so many different cultural experiences. So when the world comes, it’s going to be beautiful.”

Boi-1da has worked with JAY-Z and Kendrick Lamar in the past. He produced a song on Hov’s 2013 album, “FuckWithMeYouKnowIGotIt,” and Lamar’s classic 2015 single, “The Blacker the Berry.” He’s found tremendous success with both artists, but his allegiance remains with the 6 God. Boi-1da had three production credits on Drake’s last album, For All the Dogs (2023). He produced, the hit single “First Person Shooter,” which kicked off the Kendrick Lamar “Big Three” battle. “First Person Shooter” also contained the phrase “big as the Super Bowl,” to put an ironic bow on the whole thing.

Vory’s Alleged Reference Track For Drake’s “Mob Ties” Leaks Online

by

Drake’s had a controversial history with reference tracks. The 2015 reference track for “10 Bands” was what sparked the rumor that the rapper used ghostwriters, and he has struggled to live them down ever since. Kendrick Lamar mentioned ghostwriters during his recent battle with Drake, and every couple of months, it seems as though another reference track for a Drake song makes its way online. The latest is “Mob Ties,” which was a single on his 2018 double album, Scorpion.

“Mob Ties” has multiple credited songwriters. Drake is one of them, then Allen Ritter and Boi-1da, both of whom produce the song. The Firm and the Trackmasters are also credited, which makes sense given that “Mob Ties” samples the 1996 Nas single “Affirmative Action.” Vory is the only one songwriter who isn’t part of OVO or the artists who made “Affirmative Action.” His involvement in “Mob Ties” was never made clear, but if the leaked reference is to be believed, Vory wrote the bulk of the song. The version he did has a very similar structure, and only a few differences in terms of lyrics.

Vory Was A Credited Writer On Drake’s 2018 Single

To be clear, this is not a ghostwriting situation. Vory is credited on the final version of “Mob Ties,” just like he is on Bryson Tiller’s 2015 single “Don’t.” Vory also pops up all over Kanye West’s 2021 album Donda. The artist is a frequent behind-the-scenes presence for some of the biggest names in rap. The notion of him penning a song for Drizzy is, consequently, not a surprise.

Vory’s involvement with “Mob Ties” has been debated in the past. DJ Akademiks claimed Vory didn’t have any involvement with the song during a Twitch stream, only to look it up and realize he was wrong. “[Vory] is credited,” he asserted. “But he ain’t write nothing.” This reference track upends DJ Akademiks’ theory outright. That being said, Vory has not yet verified that the reference is real.

A reference track for Drake’s 2023 song “Calling for You” was leaked online, only for the artist credited on the reference track, Cash Cobain, to refute it. The rapper/producer hopped on Instagram to post an image of Allen Iverson. In other words, the reference was as fake as Iverson’s famous fake pass move. AI-generated content is making it harder than ever to determine what’s real. Ironic, given Drake’s own use of AI for his “Taylor Made Freestyle.”

Freddie Gibbs Says He’s Now Working On Not One, Not Two But Four Albums At Once

Uproxx cover star Freddie Gibbs has been more prolific than ever in recent years, releasing no fewer than five projects over the past five years. Beginning with Freddie in June 2018, he’s released at least an album a year since (if you count October 2018’s Fetti with Curren$y as his 2019 project). That number is about to rise drastically according to a new interview with XXL in which he boasts he’s now working on not just one but four joint projects with different producers, including ones with past collaborators Madlib and The Alchemist and his long-awaited R&B album.

“I’ma hit y’all with some sh*t that y’all thought y’all was ready for, but you really ain’t ready for,” he promises in the interview. Alchemist and Madlib ain’t going nowhere, so keep that in mind. And me and Boi-1da in the studio now real, real, real heavy. I’m making the best music of my life, so it’s no reason to stop. And I’m the king of R&B, so I gotta do that album as well.”

Gibbs first teased an R&B album in 2021, telling Revolt that Soul Sold Separately, his Warner Records major label debut from last year, “might be” one of his final rap albums. “I ain’t gotta rap no more, man,” he said. “After SSS, I’ma show y’all … I’m ’bout to bust out with an R&B album. R&B is what I started out doing before all the rap sh*t. Now, all you n****s just wanna make me rap all day, and I don’t wanna rap.” Given Fred’s sense of humor, he could well have just been joking, but considering he’s earnestly moving into movies and television and proving equally adept at acting, I wouldn’t put it past him to follow through and become just as accomplished while singing instead.

Freddie Gibbs is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Freddie Gibbs Has Four Albums In The Works

Freddie Gibbs is proving to have an overwhelmingly successful career in the rap game. As he ventures off into other creative endeavors such as acting, music has always been his main focus.

He’s apparently working on four different projects right now. The Indiana native made the announcement in a recent lengthy interview with XXL.

“Alchemist & Madlib ain’t goin’ nowhere, keep that in mind. Me and Boi-1da in the studio now, real heavy. I’m making the best music of my life, so it’s no reason to stop. And I’m the king of R&B, so I gotta do that [too],” he says in a part of the interview.

Of course, the “Crime Pays” rapper has full-length collaborations with both The Alchemist and Madlib in his discography. In 2014, he linked up with the Madvillain producer for Piñata. Five years later, the duo blessed fans with its follow-up, the 15-track Bandana.

In 2018, The Alchemist and Freddie linked up with Curren$y for a short, collaborative album, Fetti. The Indiana native and the decorated producer re-united in 2020 for a full-length release between just the two of them, Alfredo. They saw a nomination for Best Rap Album at the 2021 Grammy awards for their effort. However, Nas and Hit-Boy took the award home for the first album of their collaborative trilogy, King’s Disease.

Furthermore, the 40-year-old is still fresh off the release of his latest album, $oul $old $eperately. Serving as his fifth solo studio album, the project finds Gibbs making music with both his past and more recent sounds in one place.

Although he’s yet to make a full-length project with Boi-1da, the pair have collaborated in the past. Most recently, the Canadian producer has a production credit on “Space Rabbit”, off of $$$.

After implying that his 2022 album would be his final one, it’s certainly surprising to hear this news. “As of right now, I feel like I gave the world what it needed with $$$. I just wanna sit down and live life with my people…” he said during an AMA session on Twitter in October.
