Mustard says he wasn’t sending shots at Drizzy

Mustard was present at Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” music video shoot and images of him rocking Toronto Blue Jays cap, which is the 6 God’s hometown baseball team, made rounds on social media. Naturally, many fans speculated that this was a subliminal towards Drizzy, but Mustard says that wasn’t the case.

“I wasn’t trolling. I really wasn’t trolling,” Mustard recently told Big Boy. “I bought a lot of hats that I like. I bought an STL hat, an Angels hat, a Braves hat. I put Faith of a Mustard Seed [the title of his new album] on all of them.

“I sweated out two of my hats at Pop Out [Kendrick Lamar’s Inglewood concert] and that was the last hat that I had with Faith of a Mustard Seed on it. It just happened to be a Toronto Blue Jays hat.”

The producer expounded that the caps had everything to do with his hometown of Baldwin Village in South Los Angeles.

Mustard had sent Dot several beats before

Mustard shares details about how he learned Kendrick Lamar used his beat to lyrically assault Drake with the vicious “Not Like Us.” Recently speaking to XXL, the “Parking Lot” producer recalled his associates informing him about the record while he was on a freeway.

“I made that beat on my manager’s birthday [April 6],” he explained. “I sent [Kendrick] maybe three [beats] that day. He just hearted it. I didn’t hear it ’til [the song] came out.

“When I heard it, I was on the freeway, and I just, like, my manager hit me, like, ‘Mustard on the Beat,’” he added. “Like, ‘Text me now.’ I’m like, ‘What are you talking about?’ I got another couple texts, and people like, ‘Mustard on the Beat, Mustard on the Beat.’

“These are people I be with all the time, so I’m like, ‘What the fuck is everybody…’ and then I call my manager. I’m like, ‘What did I miss? What’s going on?’ And he’s like, ‘Man, go to YouTube right now. It’s out.’ I’m like, ‘What?’ He’s like, ‘Dot just dropped a song. It’s your beat.’

“I’m like, ‘For real?’ I go, I listen, I’m like, ‘Whoa!’ I started going crazy. I had a fuckin’ Vegas show that night, so I played that shit all the way to the fuckin’ plane, got to Vegas, played it that night. It was fuckin’ crazy, man. That’s some crazy shit.”
