Offset Reveals He Originally Hated His Platinum Single "Ric Flair Drip"

One of the biggest singles of Offset’s career, “Ric Flair Drip,” almost never came out. Speaking on The Debut Live podcast with Carl Lamarre, Offset revealed: “I hated the song.”

“It was a West Coast beat—I’m not saying nothing like that—but it was, like, during this time it’s 2017,” Offset said. “When I did it, I didn’t take it serious. I’m like, ‘Goin’ to the jeweler, bust the AP, yeah,’ like I’m not trying.”

Offset said he woke up to the single making the Without Warning joint album created between him, Metro Boomin and 21 Savage, and he eventually revealed the super producer was right. “Three days later, we No. 1 on Apple.”

“Ric Flair Drip” has had a consistent presence in Hip-Hop. Would you want to get high with Ric Flair and Mike Tyson? The two combat sports legends were at a cannabis conference in Chicago, and TMZ caught the two sparking a couple of blunts to celebrate the occasion.

“Smokin’ That Ric Flair Drip All Night Long With @miketyson! WOOOOO!” Ric Flair wrote online.

The two are partners in the Tyson 2.0 company, a cannabis company that produces various products. In the product line is the “Ric Flair Drip” products.

While on stage at the conference, the duo engaged in smoking, and Flair revealed marijuana assisted in handling pain from his wrestling days.

Offset Originally Hated “Ric Flair Drip”

During a recent interview, Offset opened up about his 2017 Without Warning track, “Ric Flair Drip.” While the song remains a hit among listeners, Offset revealed that he actually wasn’t a fan of it at first. He says that after recording it, he told Metro Boomin not to put it on the joint album with 21 Savage. Metro Boomin clearly ignored his request, as he had a hunch that it would perform well.

“Just so y’all know,” he began. “I hated the song.” When asked who was able to convince him to put the song on Without Warning, he said “it was Metro for sure.” He went on to detail the recording process, revealing that he didn’t even put much effort into it. “It was a west coast beat … when I did it I didn’t take it serious.”

Offset Discusses “Ric Flair Drip”

“Like, y’all don’t even know. I cussed his a** out when the album dropped, cause you know, I’m like ‘bruh, don’t put this song on the album.’ [He’s] in charge of picking the songs and sh*t,” he explained. Metro chose to go against his wishes, putting the track on the LP regardless of his request. “I woke up to it in the morning,” Offset recalled. “I’m like, ‘man, this n***a put the song on the album!’” Obviously, Metro’s decision ended up working out in their favor, as the song went on to top the charts.

“I’ll never forget, like three days later,” he continued. “We number one on Apple. [He’s] like, ‘I told you, I do this sh*t!’” What do you think of Offset revealing that he wasn’t a fan of “Ric Flair Drip” at first?
