DJ Mustard is firing off at Boi-1da, revealing private messages between the producers referring to the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
The current beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has taken on a new dimension as the hit producer DJ Mustard has levied some shots against producer and artist Boi-1da by revealing private messages between the two, where the latter actually praised Kendrick Lamar's scathing diss track "Not Like Us." The back-and-forth began as the Canadian producer and friend of Drake wrote, "West Coast rap is a–," and continued with, "Nobody outside LA wanna hear that s—t."
DJ Mustard, a Los Angeles native and frequent collaborator with Kendrick Lamar, created an Instagram Story by first writing, "Say it ain't so man," and then revealing screenshots of his private messages with Boi-1da. "@boi1da I thought you was a real one i ain't kno you felt this way," he wrote as a caption to a screenshot of one exchange in another Instagram Story. The two producers had previously enjoyed a good relationship in the past. The next one of those screen captures shows Boi-1da complimenting Mustard on the production of "Not Like Us" by writing, "Good shit. Beat hard af." Over that Instagram Story, Mustard wrote, "You said you liked 'Not Like Us' @boi1da. Welp there's enough yellow tape to go around." He'd end it with another Instagram Story bearing the caption, "and that's the end of my TED talk. Lame a— n——." Boi-1da and Drake haven't yet responded to the social media posts.
Mustard has been enjoying substantial success due to the production of "Not Like Us" and his production work on Lamar's recent album, GNX. In a recent Los Angeles Times interview, he spoke about dealing with the responses and particularly going up against Drake and his fans mockingly online. "These guys don't go to sleep — all they do is tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet," he said. "That's where 'the Nation of drizzlam' came from. I said it in a joking manner, but I guess on Twitter it looked like I was mad." He laughs. "Drake should use that phrase. I won't charge him for it."
