Future and Metro Boomin launched their We Trust in You Tour on July 30, 2024, in Kansas City, and the first show is already making headlines. A video of Future getting emotional while performing “Wait For U,” his collaboration with Drake, has gone viral.
The Superhero rapper and Drake share a complicated relationship, characterized by both collaborations and diss tracks. An X account posted the video of Future’s emotional performance, noting that his top five songs of the set included collaborations with Drake. Fans quickly shared their thoughts on the platform.
One fan, referring to Future’s nickname, tweeted, “I hope Pluto and Drake make up.” Another commented, “Honestly, they gotta hash this s*it out … they’re an iconic duo .. the music game need them.” Some fans reflected on Drake’s recent mention of their relationship, expressing a desire for reconciliation.
“Drake even mentioned him and Pluto’s relationship and how it hurt him they’re arguing,” one user tweeted. However, not all reactions were supportive of a reunion. Some internet users argued that Future might be better off without Drake.
One user tweeted, “The song didn’t need Drake on it but it’s a beautiful song. They make beautiful music, but Tems and Future had a different chemistry.” Another added, “He’s crying because of how emotional the song is, not Drake lmao.”
The rocky relationship between Future and Drake dates back to 2011 when they collaborated on the “Tony Montana” remix. Drake’s absence from the music video caused a rift, leading to Future’s critical comments about Drake. This tension resulted in Drake removing Future from his OVO label’s “Would You Like a Tour” in 2013.
Despite periods of collaboration, their relationship has remained tumultuous, recently culminating in Drake unfollowing Future on Instagram after the release of “We Don’t Trust You” in March 2024, which was perceived as a diss track aimed at Drake. In retaliation, Drake dissed Future and Metro Boomin in his May 2024 track “Family Matters,” further escalating the feud.
Metro Boomin’s own tensions with Drake began in 2022 after a tweet comparing the streaming numbers of his album “Heroes & Villains” to Drake’s “Her Loss.” Metro Boomin claimed that despite higher streaming numbers, his album lost the rap album of the year award due to Drake’s influence in the industry.
