Mustard Shares Proof of Boi-1da’s Love for Kendrick Lamar’s Drake Diss Track “Not Like Us”
Mustard has recently stirred the pot in his ongoing tension with Drake and his producer Boi-1da by revealing that Boi-1da actually praised Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” a track that serves as a direct diss to Drake. The feud started when Boi-1da commented that “West Coast rap is ass,” along with a remark that “Nobody outside LA wanna hear that shit.” This comment didn’t sit well with Mustard, the celebrated West Coast producer, who took to Instagram to challenge Boi-1da’s stance, writing, “Say it ain’t so man.”
Things escalated when Mustard shared a series of screenshots from an apparent Instagram conversation between him and Boi-1da. One screenshot featured Boi-1da complimenting “Not Like Us,” saying, “Good shit. Beat hard af.” Mustard made sure to call out the apparent contradiction by posting the screenshot with the caption, “You said you liked ‘Not Like Us’ @boi1da. Welp, there’s enough yellow tape to go around.”
Despite the drama, neither Boi-1da nor Drake have responded to Mustard’s posts, leaving fans to speculate about the dynamics between the producers.
Mustard’s Victory Lap with Kendrick Lamar’s GNX Album
Mustard’s bold move comes amid his recent success with Kendrick Lamar’s GNX, a project featuring multiple tracks with contributions from Mustard, including the hit “TV Off,” which landed at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. The track features a memorable line from Lamar where he shouts out “Mustard,” which has since gone viral.
In an interview with Billboard, Mustard expressed his excitement over Lamar’s shoutout, calling it “elite” and noting that the line felt like a new tag for him. He eagerly anticipates performing the song live and hearing fans chant the viral phrase.
Tensions Between Mustard and Drake
Mustard has also been vocal about his issues with Drake, stating in a previous interview with Los Angeles Times that he has no desire to collaborate with the Canadian rapper. “I don’t think I want to make a song with that dude. He’s a strange guy,” Mustard said. In contrast, he has nothing but admiration for Kendrick Lamar, calling him a “genius” who does the unthinkable every time. Mustard also compared Lamar’s mystique to that of legendary artist Prince, noting that despite the success of “Not Like Us,” Lamar hasn’t been active on social media, maintaining a sense of mystery.
A West Coast Rivalry in the Making
The ongoing tension between Mustard, Boi-1da, and Drake highlights the complex relationships within the hip-hop industry, especially between producers and artists who often collaborate across regional lines. Mustard’s public response to Boi-1da’s comments shows that he’s not afraid to call out contradictions, while also showcasing his pride in West Coast rap and his success with Kendrick Lamar.
With GNX still making waves and Mustard’s ongoing success, it’s clear that the West Coast hitmaker is riding high, even as the drama with his Canadian counterpart unfolds. As the rivalry between the two continues to play out, fans are eagerly awaiting what comes next in this heated exchange.
