Moreover, ever since it started, drawing in rap heavyweights into the ring, the personal feud has taken the form of a debate. Now, each one has to side with a team, or else the fans are sparing no one of public indignation, making neutrality an unaffordable luxury in the rap universe.

At the Forbes Under 30 Summit Music Festival, Metro Boomin addressed the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar beef, sparking controversy trying to get away with a tricky response to the pan-industry beef of the century. "As far as being diplomatic, it's just entertainment, at the end of the day," he said, downplaying the rivalry's significance. "I have love and respect for all my collaborators," he explained, prioritizing unity in rap music. 

Boomin ended his two cents on the topic, claiming how he just wanted to see everybody do their best and "help push rap forward."

Metro Boomin's diplomatic stance on the Drake-Kendrick beef sparked divided reactions. Some slammed him for backpedaling, while others were stunned, claiming his comments revealed the root of the issue. However, others defended him, citing the Forbes event's professional setting, where a strong statement would have been out of place.
