Future finally weighed in on the rap beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake from earlier in the year. His âLike Thatâ contained a guest feature from the Compton MC, which quickly spiraled into a massive back-and-forth and left fans debating who won months afterward.
During a sit-down with GQ on Wednesday (Nov. 20), Future joked that he was âsupposed to be the one who gets madâ over Lamarâs verse. âIâm still confused about that,â the HNDRXX artist explained. âNobody cares what I think? Thatâs what was so f**ked up about the s**t. To the point where Iâm so player that I ainât even said anything about how I feel about it.â
âLike, why is everybody mad when he was talking about me on my song? So, yâall just forgot about me. I ainât part of this âBig Threeâ? Iâm nobody on my song, man,â Future said in reference to the Pulitzer Prize winnerâs âMotherf**k the big three, n**ga, it’s just big meâ line.
When it comes to lyrical heavyweights like Lamar, J. Cole or even Drake, Future might not be the first person to come to mind, but he certainly knows how to put up numbers. In October, the Atlanta rapper clinched his third No. 1 of the year on the Billboard 200 chart with MIXTAPE PLUTO. The LP moved an impressive 129,000 album-equivalent units with no features.
The Freebandz founderâs previous No. 1 LPs for the year include WE DONâT TRUST YOU and WE STILL DONâT TRUST YOU, both of which arrived in collaboration with frequent collaborator Metro Boomin.
Reflecting on Lamar and Drakeâs beef, Future told GQ that he has no issues with anyone involved. âI ainât got nothing to be mad about,â he said. Fans initially speculated that tension stemmed from a woman or subtle âjabsâ over the years, though that appears not to be the case.
âIf you take all the rap entertainment out of it, itâs like, have you ever been real cool with somebody, and yâall fell out over something? It happens every day. Itâs just regular s**t,â Metro explained to the publication.
