AceShowbiz - Metro Boomin was disappointed to see Drake and 21 Savage's "Her Loss" win many awards over his "Heroes & Villains" album. Taking to social media, the record producer expressed his frustration over the matter.
The 30-year-old got things off his chest via X (formerly Twitter. On Saturday, December 2, he replied to a tweet from HipHopAllDayy, which stated that "Heroes & Villains" is 1.3 billion streams ahead of "Her Loss".
In his message, Metro penned, "Yet Her Loss still keeps winning rap album of the year over H&V." He added in a since-deleted post, "Proof that awards shows are just politics and not for me. [I don't care] about awards honestly, the true award and reward is knowing that the music I spend so much time on brings joy to peoples everyday lives."
Drake has seemingly caught wind of the diss. On Sunday, he shared on Instagram Story a screenshot of Jay-Z's lyrics on "Heart of the City (Ain't No Love)", which read, "Damn. little mans, I'm just tryin' to do me/If the record’s two mil, I'm just tryin' to move three."
