    Metro Boomin had nothing but high praise for The Weeknd and legendary producer Mike Dean after the release of Hurry Up Tomorrow, the Canadian singer’s latest and potentially final album. Following its midnight drop on January 31, Metro took to social media to express his admiration.

    “Only this n-gga Abel could drop album of the year in January lmao,” Metro wrote on X, celebrating the album’s impact. He continued, giving a shout-out to Mike Dean, who played a massive role in the project’s production. “Mike Dean sitting high on that all-time producer/composer list for sure,” he added.

    Metro Boomin’s Yacht Reportedly Goes Up in Flames Behind Miami Strip Club

    Metro Boomin might have gotten more attention than he bargained for after a yacht he allegedly rented reportedly went up in flames behind Booby Trap On The River, a 24-hour strip club in Miami. While details surrounding the fire remain unverified at press time, Booby Trap confirmed the incident, announcing the temporary shutdown of their services due to safety concerns.

    The circumstances surrounding the blaze, including its cause and potential suspects, remain unclear, with waitresses at the venue suggesting that Metro was involved. Whether or not the superstar producer rented the yacht is still up in the air, leaving fans eagerly awaiting a statement from him to confirm or deny the rumors.

    Despite the chaos, reports indicate that the venue, its staff, and patrons emerged largely unscathed. Metro’s situation is complicated further by a sexual assault and battery lawsuit, which he has denied. Amid the controversy, he’s also recently teased collaborations, including a potential project with Playboi Carti. Fans, however, remain cautious, unsure if these rumors will ever materialize into reality.

    Future has finally opened up about the animosity between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, telling once and for all that he had some positions he had kept to himself.

    In a GQ interview with Metro Boomin, Future oriented the narrative of the clash between his fellow rappers, mockingly stating that he wasn’t even aware of the existing feud.

    The rapper reasoned that he was still “a little puzzled” by Kendrick’s lyric in ‘Like That’ — ‘Muthafuck the Big Three, n-gga, it’s just Big Me’ — which did elicit reactions from Drake and J. Cole, who are both identified together with Kendrick under the ‘Big Three’ nomenclature.

    Future stated that in such a discussion, he ought to have been the angriest person there. “I’m supposed to be the one who gets mad; I’m still confused about that,” he said. “Nobody cares what I think. That’s what was so fucked up about the shit. To the point where I’m so player that I ain’t even said anything about how I feel about it.

    “Like, why is everybody mad when he was talking about me on my song? So y’all just forgot about me, I ain’t part of this Big Three, I’m nobody on my song, man,” he added with “faux self-depreciation,” according to the interviewer.

    “If I didn’t get mad, nobody should have gotten mad! If I would have been really mad about it and I made something out of it, then someone else could be like, Oh, I can make something else about it.”
    Summing up Future told that if he did not get angry no one else was expected to. “If I didn’t get mad, nobody should have gotten mad! If I would have been really mad about it and I made something out of it, then somebody could like, Ooh, I can make something else out of it.”

    Future, Metro Boomin, Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Like That’ appears in new lawsuit, but rappers not being sued

    ‘Like That’ has been mentioned in new legal filing

    Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar have been mentioned in a lawsuit filed by late singer Barry White’s estate, thanks to their smash record “Like That,” but they are not listed as the parties being sued Billboard reported.

    The Barry White Family Trust has taken legal action against the 1980s hip-hop group Rodney-O & Joe Cooley, after their song “Everlasting Bass,” which has been sampled in Future, Metro and Kendrick’s song “Like That.” Rodney-O and Cooley are mentioned in the credits of “Like That,” however, the lawsuit states that their track “Everlasting Bass” uses parts of song “I’m Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby” that was done by Barry White in 1973.

    The complaint attaches the label “infringing work” to the song “Like That,” however, its producers and artists are not included in the suit. The estate of White states, however, states that Future and everyone else involved is indemnified, and therefore their liability relating to any issues over the work “Like That” exists with Rodney-O & Joe Cooley.

    Additionally, the lawsuit justifies the time, or rather inaction with regard to filing a suit against Rodney-O & Joe Cooley despite the fact that “Everlasting Bass” was recorded in the 1980s: “Since the Defendants’ song, Everlasting Bass, was released prior to the internet and was not widely distributed, the Barry White Trust was unaware of the song when it was first released.”
