Another day … another social media beef involving Young Thug.
Thug took to Twitter on Tuesday (Nov 10) and called out producer Metro Boomin and fellow rapper Future.
The whole incident stemmed from a few tweets Metro Boomin posted the day before, which Thug thought were directed to him.
In a series of tweets, Metro Boomin credited Future for making rappers want to release several mixtapes in a year.
Metro also advised rappers in the industry to put out “more quality music over quantity” and to avoid taking the “Future approach” because it’s not for everyone.
For reasons unknown to man, Young Thug took direct offense to Metro’s tweets and fired back, saying he’s Michael Jackson compared to Future who he calls “Tito” … only to later tweet that he has nothing against Future.
Peep Metro and Thug’s tweets below:
Everyday I wake up, new mixtapes are falling out of the sky.. I think we all know where the trend came from lol ??? pic.twitter.com/dytHN7fubs

And for all you internet niggas who like to tweet like you know everything, I'm not saying he's the first to do it.
— Metro Boomin (@MetroBoomin) November 9, 2015
But artists have not put this much music out in years, now artists are dropping tapes every month. Everyone was holding their music b4

These niggas crazy tryna tweet me like I don't know who Lil Wayne is and like those weren't my main years growing up ??
— Metro Boomin (@MetroBoomin) November 9, 2015
Don't tweet me about anything before 2014 because that's not what I'm talking about. Talk to me about the CURRENT state of rap music.
— Metro Boomin (@MetroBoomin) November 9, 2015
Niggas know Guwop and Weezy legends. What's understood doesn't have to be explained.
— Metro Boomin (@MetroBoomin) November 9, 2015
All I'm saying is, I wish that everyone would put out more quality music over the quantity. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
— Metro Boomin (@MetroBoomin) November 9, 2015
Moral of the story is, putting out 5 tapes in a year won't make you heat up like Future. That was just his path. It's not for everyone
— Metro Boomin (@MetroBoomin) November 9, 2015
Just take all the hardest songs from the 5 tapes you plan on dropping, and make 1 tape full of fire. #qualityovereverything

Future responded to Thug in a single tweet, which clearly shows that he doesn’t take him seriously:
U will never have the juice like dat…
— FUTURE/FREEBANDZ (@1future) November 10, 2015
To which Thug responded back:
What juice ??????
— Young Thug ? (@youngthug) November 10, 2015
Oh ok… The juice metro ran with… ??
— Young Thug ? (@youngthug) November 10, 2015

— Young Thug ? (@youngthug) November 10, 2015
But fuck it we ball!!!
— Young Thug ? (@youngthug) November 10, 2015
Thug also retweeted a fan who wrote “RIP metro thuggin,” pretty much confirming his collaborative mixtape with Metro Boomin will no longer happen.
Metro has since responded to Young Thug’s tweets:
@youngthug I'm in the city @ the spot right now bra and we know each other in REAL life so u can pull up whenever kuz u know I ain't no hoe
— Metro Boomin (@MetroBoomin) November 11, 2015
And Thug had this to say back:
— Young Thug ? (@youngthug) November 11, 2015
Also, there’s a running poll on whether or not Thug and Metro are really going to fight. So far, the majority (80% as of the time this story was published) have voted “No.”
Will @MetroBoomin and @youngthug ever fight?

Metro Boomin and Future aren’t the first to find themselves in the crosshairs of Young Thug’s trigger fingers turned Twitter fingers.
In the past, the “Best Friend” rapper has beefed with Plies, The Game and Kevin Gates — all on social media.
