In a since-deleted post on X, Metro weighed in on a debate about the streaming figures of his Heroes & Villains album versus those of Drake and 21 Savage‘s Her Loss.
After an account reported that Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains has not only racked up more streams in a single year (3.7 billion) than any other rap album since 2018, but also is currently generating more than twice the amount of daily streams as Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss. Metro weighed in writing in a since-deleted reply on X, “Yet Her Loss keeps winning rap album of the year over H&V.”
“Proof that award shows are just politics and not for me,” the comment continued. “Idc about awards honestly, the true award and REWARD is knowing that the music I spend so much time on brings joy to people’s everyday lives.”
Drake AKA the subtext king, then did what he does best, firing back on his IG stories with some of JAY-Z’s lyrics from “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love)" -- “Damn. little mans, I’m just tryin’ to do me / If the record’s two mil, I’m just tryin’ to move three.”
As 2023 comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to look back on some of the music it gifted us with. Did your favorite make the Billboard number 1 albums list?
