Future is minding his own business despite being involved in one of the biggest rap feuds of the year.
Journalist Elliott Wilson has shared quotes from an unreleased book GQ Instagram interview on Wednesday. In those quotes, Future was asked about the feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Even though it was widely publicized, Future said he knew nothing about it.
“There’s beef? I didn’t even know there was beef. I didn’t even know they had nothing going on. I’ve never been in rap battles, man,” he said.
Drake and Lamar saw their feud escalate after Lamar released the song “Like That” earlier this year with Future and Metro Boomin as a response to Drake’s song “First Person Shooting” from last year, where it was said that J. Cole , Lamar and Drake were the big three in rap music. Future admitted he was hurt that he wasn’t considered a top rapper.
“He said ‘Big Three’ in my song. […] I should be the one who’s mad; I’m still confused about it,” Future said of the experience.
“That’s what makes me so mad about it. To the point where I’m such a player that I don’t even say anything to the public about how I feel about it. Like, why do people crazy that he’s talking about me in my song?” The future continues.
He went on to say that if anyone should be mad, it should be him.
“So you all forgot about me, I’m not part of this Big Three, I’m nobody in my song, man. If I ain’t mad, no one should be mad ! If I was really mad! mad about it and I made something out of it,” the rapper concluded.
Metro Boomin also talked about the song and the feud between him and Drake in the same interview, saying that it’s normal to love someone, but this incident is only for the audience.
“Me and [Drake]we had a personal problem, and to be precise it wasn’t because there were no girls or nothing silly like that. It was a personal matter that really hurt and disappointed me. But if you take all the entertainment of rap music out of it, it’s like, have you ever seemed really close to someone and then had a falling out over something? It happens every day. That’s just normal. This only happens when there is an audience,” he said.
Since releasing the songs “Like That” and First Person Shooter, both Drake and Lamar have made notable changes in the past year with Drake releasing the songs “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle “, while Lamar released “Euphoria” and “6:16 in LA” before culminating with the release of “Not Like Us”.
