The tension between Drake and Metro Boomin has taken a new turn, manifesting in a series of public jabs that have caught the attention of fans and onlookers alike.
Drake, the Toronto-based rapper known as the ‘6 God,’ has escalated the feud by employing a mix of technology and spectacle to send a message to his fellow music producer.
Drake posted a deepfake video on his Instagram Stories, showing a scene from the movie “Drumline” but with a twist—Metro Boomin’s head was superimposed onto Nick Cannon’s character.
The clip, while humorous to some, is a pointed reference to Drake’s lyrics from Push Ups (Drop and Give Me 50), where he raps, “Metro, shut your ho ass up and make some drums, n-gga,” indicating a clear dig at Metro’s craft.

The online banter was just the beginning. Drake took his message offline by organizing a marching band to play outside Magic City, the iconic Atlanta strip club.
This move is a direct callback to Metro and Future’s album promotion for We Still Don’t Trust You, which also took place at Magic City.
The band’s performance of a remix of Drake’s diss track outside the club was a bold statement, amplifying the dispute for all to see.
In addition to Deepfake and the marching band, Drake shared a video of a couple dancing to the remixed Diss track.
While the dance was a display of skill and coordination, its inclusion in the narrative underlined the ongoing discord between the two artists.
