21 Savage has expressed optimism that his longtime collaborators Metro Boomin and Drake may find a way to collaborate again in the future. During a recent appearance on the podcast Perspektives, Savage discussed the ongoing efforts to mend the strained relationship between the two music icons while promoting his upcoming album.
Savage provided some insight into the tensions that have disrupted what was once a reliable creative partnership in hip-hop. He emphasized that Young Thug is not the only artist attempting to bridge the gap between Drake and Metro Boomin. In his conversation with host Big Bank, Savage hinted at behind-the-scenes negotiations aimed at restoring their collaboration, noting that he has known Big Bank since before his own rise in the music industry.
The rapper addressed the disagreement, clarifying that while Metro Boomin felt wronged by something, he did not divulge specific details about the conflict. He described the situation as significant enough to impede one of the most successful collaborations in the genre, yet acknowledged that Drake has taken responsibility. “Drake told me and Metro that he understood where he was wrong,” Savage remarked, labeling this acknowledgment as genuine.
According to 21 Savage, Drake has made multiple apologies to Metro Boomin in an effort to repair their relationship—gestures that he considers sincere and rooted in respect rather than obligation. This approach has led to newfound possibilities for collaboration, with 21 Savage confirming that both Drake and Metro Boomin will feature on his forthcoming album.
He noted that Metro Boomin has become “more open-minded” since the initial fallout, indicating a shift in attitude about the potential for reconciliation. Although he did not declare a full resolution, Savage believes that the obstacles to their collaboration are less daunting now.
This evolving dynamic holds importance for the industry, as a future reunion of Drake and Metro Boomin could significantly impact radio and streaming trends. Their past collaborations have produced numerous chart-topping hits, and fans have speculated whether their rift was permanent.
For 21 Savage, the situation reflects the importance of communication and accountability in resolving creative disputes. His comments suggest that, in an industry where conflicts can often escalate, even broken relationships can find a way back to collaboration. If his predictions prove correct, it seems we may witness a new era of partnership between Drake and Metro Boomin sooner rather than later.
