DJ Mustard is firing off at Boi-1da, revealing private messages between the producers referring to the beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
The current beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has taken on a new dimension as the hit producer DJ Mustard has levied some shots against producer and artist Boi-1da by revealing private messages between the two, where the latter actually praised Kendrick Lamar’s scathing diss track “Not Like Us.” The back-and-forth began as the Canadian producer and friend of Drake wrote, “West Coast rap is a–,” and continued with, “Nobody outside LA wanna hear that s—t.”

DJ Mustard, a Los Angeles native and frequent collaborator with Kendrick Lamar, created an Instagram Story by first writing, “Say it ain’t so man,” and then revealing screenshots of his private messages with Boi-1da. “@boi1da I thought you was a real one i ain’t kno you felt this way,” he wrote as a caption to a screenshot of one exchange in another Instagram Story. The two producers had previously enjoyed a good relationship in the past. The next one of those screen captures shows Boi-1da complimenting Mustard on the production of “Not Like Us” by writing, “Good shit. Beat hard af.” Over that Instagram Story, Mustard wrote, “You said you liked ‘Not Like Us’ @boi1da. Welp there’s enough yellow tape to go around.” He’d end it with another Instagram Story bearing the caption, “and that’s the end of my TED talk. Lame a— n——.” Boi-1da and Drake haven’t yet responded to the social media posts.
Mustard has been enjoying substantial success due to the production of “Not Like Us” and his production work on Lamar’s recent album, GNX. In a recent Los Angeles Times interview, he spoke about dealing with the responses and particularly going up against Drake and his fans mockingly online. “These guys don’t go to sleep — all they do is tweet, tweet, tweet, tweet,” he said. “That’s where ‘the Nation of drizzlam’ came from. I said it in a joking manner, but I guess on Twitter it looked like I was mad.” He laughs. “Drake should use that phrase. I won’t charge him for it.”

DJ Mustard might be in his feelings. He referred to Drake as “The Malcolm X Of White People” when discussing his recent album’s lackluster performance.
As spotted on XXL Magazine the Los Angeles, California native recently released his fourth album Faith of a Mustard Seed. Even though he collaborated with the likes of Lil Yachty, Quavo, Lil Durk and Future the project only sold 18,000 units during the first week. Given his history for producing hits for others many deemed this new effort as a commercial failure and made their feelings known directly to him on X, formerly Twitter. It seems some of the criticism got to him as he dismissed the record sales metric writing “Album sales are a form of [White] supremacy you ni**as racist.”
One fan responded “It’s only racist when your album flops. If your album sold well you’d be flexing your sales” and that’s when he went on a brief rant alleging Drake had a hand negatively impacting his album. “Drake is the Malcolm x of white people and @Akademiks make sure you post @GordoSZN first week since drake thought he did a thing with making him drop on the same day as me” he wrote. This is a reference to the rumor Drake suggested that Gordo drop his album DIAMANTE, that has two features from Drizzy, on the same day as Faith of a Mustard Seed. It seems the slander quickly escalated as he soon insinuated that bots were flooding his timeline. “These drake bots are the Nation of drizzlam” and “THE BOTS TRYNA FADE ME.”
DJ Mustard produced the beat for Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”. Since then he has been involved in the Rap beef by default. You can see his posts below.
