Drake Issues Apparent Response To “We Still Don’t Trust You” Drama

by

There’s been plenty of shade thrown Drake’s way as of late, leaving fans and critics alike anxious to hear a response. For the most part, however, Drizzy has kept quiet. It all started when Future and Metro Boomin dropped their collaborative album We Don’t Trust You last month, and teamed up with Kendrick Lamar for “Like That.” Kendrick’s verse quickly went viral, as he took various shots at both Drake and J. Cole.

Yesterday, Future and Metro dropped the second part of the project, We Still Don’t Trust You. As expected, it also seems to feature several jabs at Drake, this time from The Weeknd and ASAP Rocky. In a bizarre turn of events, J. Cole also appears on the album, leading some listeners to accuse him of betraying his “First Person Shooter” collaborator.

Drake Pokes Fun At Drama

Of course, J. Cole had previously released a Kendrick diss track called “7 Minute Drill,” which appeared on his surprise album Might Delete Later. He’s since stayed true to his word, apologizing and deleting the song from all streaming services. The whole debacle has social media users more curious than ever to hear what Drake has to say, and he knows it. In fact, he recently hopped on his Instagram Story to poke fun at the ordeal, sharing a meme about his potential reaction.

While it remains unclear whether or not Drake plans to respond with a track of his own, he’s made it clear that he’s completely tuned in to all the chaos unfolding. What do you think of Drake’s apparent response to the shade thrown his way lately? What about The Weeknd and ASAP Rocky seemingly hopping on the diss train with their features on We Still Don’t Trust You? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Future & Metro Boomin “We Still Don’t Trust You”: What We Know

by

After unleashing their collaborative album just three weeks ago, Future and Metro Boomin are back with more music. We Don’t Trust You arrived on March 22, marking the duo’s first full-length album after a decade of prolific collaborations. The album was favorably receieved and shook the hip hop universe with Kendrick Lamar’s guest verse on “Like That.” Future and Metro Boomin began promoting the album just a month ago, announcing two separate release dates. 

We Don’t Trust You has already made a sizable impact on hip hop, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. Even with the album’s immediate success, Future and Metro Boomin are gearing up to release a follow-up, We Still Don’t Trust You this coming Friday, April 12. “Job’s not finished,” Metro tweeted, teasing fans about the upcoming release. The last time Future dropped consecutive albums was in 2017 when FUTURE and HNDRXX arrived one week apart. As we continue to digest We Don’t Trust You and anticipate its sequel, here is what we know so far about We Still Don’t Trust You.

An Entirely New Album From Future and Metro Boomin

While it has only been three weeks since We Don’t Trust You, Future and Metro Boomin are striking while the iron is still hot. Some speculated that the April 12 release was a deluxe version of its predecessor. However, Metro Boomin confirmed it to be an entirely new album. “This is not a deluxe. This is a completely separate body of work,” the producer clarified. In another tweet, he continued to promote his and Future’s upcoming release. “The brand new album from Metro Pluto,” the tweet reads. Much like its precursor, We Still Don’t Trust You will be released via Epic, Republic, Future’s Freebandz, and Metro’s Boominati Worldwide labels. We can expect brand new material from Future and Metro Boomin on Friday as they continue their creative hot streak.

The Trailer for We Still Don’t Trust You

Future and Metro Boomin built further anticipation for We Still Don’t Trust You by sharing the album’s trailer. “Job’s not finished,” Metro captioned the video, hinting that the pair will continue to build on their collaborative chemistry. The trailer sees Future and Metro donning white suits. Metro also wears a white baseball cap while Future covers his face with a white mask and sunglasses. The cryptic video cuts between shots of the duo in both black and white suits. Visually, the white attire contrasts the fashion seen on their previous album cover.

The Official Album Artwork

Earlier today, Future and Metro Boomin revealed the official album artwork for We Still Don’t Trust You. The black and white cover features four panels, with two of the rapper and the other two of the producer. Consistent with the theme of its trailer, the album cover suggests a distinction between Future and Metro in white outfits versus black suits. The suits can be associated with the We Don’t Trust You artwork while their blurry white outfits mysteriously hint at what is yet to come. The duality between white and black in the trailer and on this cover may suggest a difference in aesthetic or indicate a potentially new artistic direction of the album. If that is indeed the case, then it is possible that We Still Don’t Trust You could be the HNDRXX to We Don’t Trust You’s FUTURE.

Potential Tracks

Neither Future nor Metro Boomin have shared a tracklist for We Still Don’t Trust You. Currently, its titles, length, and runtime are still unknown. Fans did get a sneak peak at the tracklist last week in a recently shared photo from Metro Boomin. Pictured off to the side is a portion of the album’s tracklist, with the top reading We Still Don’t Trust You. Potential track names include “Bounce,” “This Sunday,” “Beat It,” and “Out of My Hands.” So far, no guest features have revealed their involvement in the album. It is important to note that the features on We Don’t Trust You were initially uncredited, so the inclusion of other artists may come as a surprise on first listen. The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, Kendrick Lamar, and Rick Ross each contributed vocals to the album, adding extra excitement to the listening experience.

Ultimately, we will find out about any potential guests when the album drops on Friday. So far, this is all we know for now about Future and Metro Boomin’s upcoming album. Be sure to check back in with HotNewHipHop for the latest updates regarding We Still Don’t Trust You.

Future & Metro Boomin’s “WE DON’T TRUST YOU” On Pace For 130k Sales In Its Second Week

by

Last week, Future and Metro Boomin’s new album WE DON’T TRUST YOU skyrocketed to number one on the Hot 100. The album was teased by both artists for more than a year and the massive amount of fan anticipation paid off. Not only did they score a number-one debut for the album but it also marked the single highest sales week for any project in 2024 so far. Unsurprisingly, the project is headed for a strong second week as well.

After pushing more than 250k combined units last week, the pair will do more than half of that in week two. The album is expected to sell upwards of 130k in its second week, an incredibly impressive number. Despite the large sales number, it won’t be enough to keep the album at number #1 on the Billboard 200. That’s because Beyonce’s new album COWBOY CARTER is set to hit the charts. The album is also expected to break the single-week sales record with new projections pushing higher than 400k first-week sales.

Future & Metro Boomin’s Second Week Sales

Fans of WE DON’T TRUST YOU got some exciting news earlier today. Future and Metro Boomin confirmed that they do in fact have another entire new album dropping soon. The follow-up project WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU is due out next week on April 12. Not much is known about the album yet but they released a trailer teasing the forthcoming project.

While WE DON’T TRUST YOU is likely to miss out on a second week at number one, the song “Like That” from the album is still projected to top the Hot 100 for a second week. It’s currently expected to hold off Beyonce’s single “TEXAS HOLD EM” to secure a second week at number one. What do you think of Future and Metro Boomin’s WE DON’T TRUST YOU selling over 130k in its second week? Are you looking forward to their pair’s second collaborative album of the year?

Future And Metro Boomin Are Continuing Their Long-Manifested Story With ‘We Still Don’t Trust You,’ Dropping This Month

Last month, rapper Future and superstar producer Metro Boomin dropped their collaborative album, We Don’t Trust You. The album has had fans talking for weeks, as it featured a return to the sounds that launched Future into stardom, and the sounds that made Metro a household name. Not to mention, the scathing Kendrick Lamar verse on “Like That” that still has the internet abuzz. But the dynamic duo isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Earlier this year, the two announced that their long-awaited collaborative project will consist of two albums.

Today (April 4), the two teased the second installment of their promising series. In a video clip shared to Twitter, Future and Metro are seen in space. The two have already taken over the world, but they aren’t stopping there. Also in the clip, a collage of photos and videos of Future and Metro appear on screen, signifying a continuation of the long-manifested story.

At the end of the clip, the screen reads “WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU,” sending a signal to fans that the sequel to We Don’t Trust You is on the way.

A tweet from Metro, seen above, indicates a release next week.

We Still Don’t Trust You is out 4/12 via Epic Records/Boominati Worldwide/Republic Records.

Metro Boomin Blames Twitter Hacker For ‘Corny Ass Tweets’ After The Release Of ‘We Don’t Trust You’

Fans of super producer Metro Boomin caught wind of some strange Twitter activity over the past few days. The first “red flag” was the fact that a few days had gone by without Metro sharing his daily “Thank God for the day” tweet.

Today (April 2), Metro finally shared an update after regaining access to his account. He explained that on the day of the release of We Don’t Trust You — his joint album with rapper Future — his iCloud was hacked, and he was logged out of his phone.

“all those corny ass tweets, all my day 1s know that’s nowhere in my character,” said Metro in a tweet. “All positivity always on my end. We blessed. It’s all love.”

Metro continued, explaining how the incident begun after receiving several calls from numbers with a Toronto area code. He later got a notification that he was logged out of his iCloud, and couldn’t use anything that required an Apple ID login.

While his phone was hacked, Metro discovered that the hacker went on a fairly expensive shopping spree.

According to a text he received from a rep at Balenciaga, the hacker attempted to order $23,000 worth of clothing and accessories.

Thankfully, the hacker couldn’t place the order, as they didn’t have Metro’s CVV number.

Unfortunately, a Louis Vuitton duffel bag Metro ordered before the hack was shipped to the hacker’s address.

Reasonably upset, Metro shared that he is “going to sleep now” following the whole ordeal.

Metro Boomin Shared That His Phone Was Hacked, And The Hacker Tried To Order $23,000 Worth Of Balenciaga Products

If Young Metro don’t trust you — well, you know how the tagline goes. And it looks like superstar producer Metro Boomin might have a new opp to look out for.

Over the past few days, fans of Metro noticed that he hadn’t shared his daily “Thank God for the day!” tweet, until today (April 2).

Many assumed he was still riding the high of his joint album We Don’t Trust You, featuring Future. But he explained that there was something more sinister at play.

“It all started 2 days before the album dropped and all these 416 numbers would call me back 2 back a million times,” said Metro in the beginning of a series of tweets. “It got so bad I had to keep my phone on airplane mode.” The tweet included a screenshot of several phone calls from different numbers, however, each of them were from the 416 area code — an area code from Toronto, Canada.

“I woke up 2 days after the album dropped,” Metro continued, “with my phone saying I was signed out of iCloud and I no longer had service on my phone.”

It would appear that Metro’s phone was hacked. And evidently, the hacker had some expensive taste.

“I eventually got an email from my Balenciaga rep asking me about an order I had placed and was confused af,” he said.

Thankfully, no orders actually went through. Metro’s contact at Balenciaga came through with screenshots, revealing that the hacker attempted to order some bags and some gaudy boots.

“I would never order these freaky ass boots,” said Metro.

The screenshots show that the hacker attempted to order the products to be delivered to Houston. Meanwhile, Metro has been in Atlanta with his family as these conversations are taking place. Additionally, the hacker attempted to order Chanel products from Balenciaga, which the Balenciaga rep immediately caught.

None of the hackers orders actually processed, as the Balenciaga rep couldn’t be duped. And, the hacker didn’t have Metro’s CVV number.

Nevertheless, Metro is unbothered and too busy reaping the fruits of his labor.

“#1 album. #1 song. It’s nothing like me to focus and attempt to thrive off negativity vs these blessings while I’m living through one of the biggest moments of my career thus far,” Metro said.

Metro Boomin Calls Out Rappers Who Are “Scared To Post” “WE DON’T TRUST YOU,” Fans Suspect 21 Savage & Drake Are In Crosshairs

by

Metro Boomin is one of the most successful producers of all time, but especially over the last year and change. Since 2022’s HEROES & VILLAINS, the St. Louis, Missouri beat crafter has continued to churn number one record after number one record. In fact, he just scored his fourth top charting project on the Billboard Hot 200 with WE DON’T TRUST YOU. It sold 251,000 units in its first week, making it the biggest debut of 2024 overall so far. However, even with all the well-earned acclaim, Metro Boomin still feels some people are “scared” to show it love.

A tweet from the hitmaker has been gaining some attention overnight in which he puts unnamed people on blast. Shortly after him and Future grabbed the top of both the Hot 200 and 100, Metro tweeted, “I see a lot of niggas been scared to post the album too😂😭😭😭#IForgiveButIDontForget #WEDONTTRUSTYOU🚷🚷🚷” Fans got to speculation and theory in the comments section as to who this could be for possibly. The obvious victim that people were throwing around was Drake since of the “Like That” diss from Kendrick Lamar.

However, there is a fairly large camp that feels 21 Savage could be in the crosshairs as well. We believe that could have something to do with the Georgia rapper being close with Drake, especially after Her Loss. If you remember that album was getting more praise than H&V and Metro was not too happy about it. In the same breath it would also be a big switch up in tone about one the producer’s most frequent collaborators. They just worked pretty closely together on Savage’s 2024 record american dream. Fans are hoping that Metro and 21 are not beefing. One fan replied, “Bro I swear to God please don’t stop working with 21 Savage that will be a HUGE void in hip hop.”

What are your thoughts on Metro Boomin saying rappers are scared to support WE DON’T TRUST YOU? Do you agree with the fans that Drake and 21 Savage are the ones being targeted, or do you think its someone else? What are your top five tracks from the album right now? Is Metro’s behavior online changing your opinion on the producer, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Drake Seemingly Agrees With DJ Akademiks That Metro Boomin, Kendrick Lamar, And Future Used His Name For Clout

by

Drake is currently at war with what feels like the entire rap world. Overall, it started when Kendrick Lamar dissed Drake on the song “Like That.” This track appears on the new Future and Metro Boomin album, We Don’t Trust You. Throughout that album, there are also some disses from Future himself. Not to mention, Rick Ross is on the project and he quickly unfollowed Drizzy once the album was released. At this point, the man has very few friends left in the industry. Thankfully, there truly is a Drake song for every situation (see Certified Lover Boy).

Recently, it was revealed that We Don’t Trust You topped the charts. Furthermore, Metro Boomin and Future had numerous songs appear in the Billboard Top 10. This subsequently led to a subtle shot from DJ Akademiks. On his Instagram page, Akademiks made the claim that the artists used Drake’s name for clout, and that he deserves an assist for the streaming numbers. “Congrats to Metro Future Kendrick and the reason for the song Drake. On a #1 song. Here’s the billboard top 10 this week,” Akademiks wrote.

Drake With A Slick Like

In a showing of solidarity for the take, Drake ended up liking Ak’s post. Clearly, he enjoyed the caption and felt there was some sort of truth in it. Of course, the fact that he was dissed on the song certainly helped its position on the charts. However, it is a damn good song and even if Kendrick had delivered a normal verse, it probably would have been a success. After all, Metro and Future know how to crank out the hits. Either way, a like might not seem like a lot, but it shows where Drizzy stands in all of this.

Let us know what you think of the feud between Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Metro Boomin, and Future, in the comments section down below. Who do you think is going to end up coming out on top here? Are you expecting Drake to drop a track? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Drake Seemingly Reacts To LeBron James Rapping Along To Kendrick Lamar Diss

by

Overall, Drake is one of the biggest artists in the entire world. Consequently, there are plenty of other artists over the years who have come for the throne. The latest to do so is none other than Kendrick Lamar. This is probably Drizzy’s most formidable opponent. Lamar is one of the greatest hip-hop artists ever and has numerous classic albums to his name. Furthermore, he can crank out hits, which just goes to show how strong his pen is. In a diss track battle between the two, it would be extremely difficult for the megastar to come out on top.

In fact, it seems like even Drake’s best friends are rocking with Kendrick’s verse on “Like That.” As we reported earlier today, LeBron James was seen warming up while rapping to the verse. This seems like the ultimate betrayal, especially when you consider how James has always supported the Canadian artist. The verse seemed to work wonders for LeBron, as he ended up dropping a nice 40-piece on the Brooklyn Nets. As for Drake, he has seen the video. We know this because he liked a video of LeBron rapping “Like That,” on Instagram.

Drake Sees Everything

It is a subtle response, however, one has to wonder what is going through Drake’s mind right now. The whole world wants him to respond. However, he has refused to do so. Only time will tell whether or not he finally changes his mind. Hopefully, he will as the world wants a competitive battle. It would be much better to have that than the entire thing after “Like That.” Either way, Kendrick came with the heat, and the world is recognizing it.

Let us know what you think about Drake and his recent feud with Kendrick Lamar, in the comments section down below. Who do you think is going to come out on top? Will Drizzy be delivering a response anytime soon? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

IDK Catches Heat For Suggesting Drake, Kendrick Lamar, & J. Cole Should Just Retire

by

The Big Three discussion has dominated the hip-hop space over the past few weeks. It’s become such a notable talking point, in fact, that rappers who don’t even have a connection to Drake, J. Cole or Kendrick Lamar have taken to social media to give their opinions on the trio’s legacy. IDK is the latest rapper to get it on the discussion. Rather than debate which of the Big Three is the best, however, he took a broader stance that had some Twitter users up in arms.

IDK’s tweet was simple yet controversial. “The big 3 need to retire and make way,” he wrote on March 30. Wanting to see rappers rise up and take the mantle is not an especially hot take, especially since the the trio of Drake, Cole and Kendrick have been making hits for close to 15 years. It was the suggestion that they should give up the mantle, however, that rubbed fans the wrong way. IDK’s tweet was flooded with responses telling him to “snatch” the crown and put in work to “dethrone” the Big Three himself.

IDK Tweet Sparks Backlash

IDK addressed these responses the next day when he tweeted: “Dry humor doesn’t work on this platform.” The rapper’s attempts to make light of the semi-viral tweet didn’t stop fans from calling him out, though, so he decided to use Kendrick Lamar lyrics to bolster his original point. He retweeted a screenshot of 2010’s “Monster Freestyle”, in which K-Dot raps that JAY-Z should have retired. IDK posted the screenshot along with the message: “This is also Kendrick.”

The parallel was obvious: young rappers want to elbow out the elders. IDK went on to tweet that fans take things too seriously when it comes to online discourse. A quick scroll through IDK’s timeline proves that he’s an enormous fan of the Big Three, so this clearly wasn’t an instance of him trying to start beef. As far as he’s concerned, he’s keeping the competitive, youthful spirit of hip-hop alive, like Kendrick did before and like the rappers after him will do.
