The fallout from the Drake and Kendrick Lamar war continues. Mustard called out longtime OVO producer Boi-1da for allegedly trashing West Coast music, and the Cali native posted receipts of their alleged past conversations to his Instagram Story on Monday (Dec. 9).

“West Coast music is a–,” the Toronto producer allegedly wrote in a DM captured by Complex. “Nobody outside LA wanna hear that s–t.”


Mustard reposted the alleged messages while expressing his disappointment. “@boi1da say it ain’t so man. @boi1da tell me this ain’t real crodie. @boi1da I thought you was real one I ain’t know you felt this way.”

Even going a step further, Mustard followed up by posting an alleged message from Boi-1da complimenting Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” after the Drake diss track went No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“Good s–t,” Boi-1da allegedly wrote. “Beat hard AF.”

Mustard added to his Boi-1da shade in the caption: “You said you liked ‘Not Like Us’ @boi1da. Welp there’s enough yellow tape to go around.”

While Boi-1da worked on Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers 2022 album, he’s produced countless hits for Drake over the years including “God’s Plan,” and also was involved in the Drizzy-Dot feud with production credits on the 6 God’s “Push Ups.”

As for Mustard, he’s riding high after notching a pair of top-five hits on the Hot 100 thanks to his work on Kendrick Lamar’s GNX standouts “Hey Now” and “TV Off.”

SZA Feels Like She’s ‘At War Because of AI,’ Slams ‘Weird, Stereotypical Struggle Music’ Being Generated By Artificial Intelligence

The singer tackled the topic on "Ghost in the Machine" from her 2022 chart-topping "SOS" album.

SZA has been raging against what she dubbed the “Ghost in the Machine” on her Billboard 200 No. 1 album SOS for years. In her case the “ghost” she was referring to on that song from her 2022 breakthrough LP was artificial intelligence, which she took on by singing, “Let’s talk about AI, robot got more heart than I/ Robot got future, I don’t/ Robot got sleep but I don’t power down.”

Now, in an interview with i.d., the Grammy-winning singer is sharpening her knives to a high sheen in what she tagged as a potentially existential crisis for Black artists in the face of the rapidly expanding use of artificial intelligence in music.
