In another social media post, Metro lamented, "That's that r Kelly trapped in the closet s---," upon encountering a picture of a close female companion with a young child.
Another post said, "walking through the grocery store with both hands in my pockets like a true pedophile."
Metro Boomin, hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, solidified his position as a highly influential hip-hop producer in recent years.
The 30-year-old's production credits include some of the biggest hits in the genre, including Drake and Future's "Jumpman," Migos' "Bad and Boujee," Post Malone's "Congratulations," Future's "Mask Off," and many others.
Meanwhile, Metro Boomin seems to be reveling in the conflic between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Drake finds himself in a challenging situation. He endured a barrage of disses from Kendrick Lamar over the weekend through multiple tracks.
Although Drake countered with "The Heart Part 6," the prevailing view is that he's falling behind in the battle, if not already lost. Adding insult to injury, Metro Boomin seems to be reveling in the conflict.
He initially ignited the feud by inviting Lamar to collaborate on "Like That." According to Hot New Hip Hop, he's now adopting a tactic straight from Drake's playbook, trolling the Canadian rapper on social media and even employing Drake's own lyrics against him.
