Mustard has entered the fray in a brewing social media spat with Drake’s producer, Gordo, utilizing a quote from JAY-Z to deliver a pointed response. The drama unfolded after Gordo expressed his disappointment on social media, noting that Mustard had unfollowed him on Instagram. “omg just noticed mustard unfollowed me on ig…. Sad day,” Gordo wrote sarcastically on X, suggesting that Mustard’s recent success had gone to his head.
In response, Mustard shared a video on Instagram featuring JAY-Z, where the rap legend states, “Are you kidding me? Who are you guys talking to? What have you done to even have an opinion on what I been doing? You done nothing to even have an opinion.” This seemingly subliminal response was paired with the caption, “We not the same,” indicating that Mustard is unbothered by Gordo’s comments.
The tension between Mustard and Gordo is not entirely surprising, considering Mustard’s previous public disdain for Drake amidst the ongoing feud between the 6 God and Kendrick Lamar. At a performance during Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw last November, Mustard playfully teased the crowd by starting to play Drake’s “Crew Love” before abruptly switching to Kendrick’s “Like That,” a track that has fueled the tension between the two hip-hop titans.
Mustard has made his feelings about Drake clear in past interviews, even stating, “I don’t think I want to make a song with that dude. He’s a strange guy.” He also advised Drake to focus on creating good music rather than engaging in attention-seeking tactics, emphasizing the importance of artistry over controversy.
As the back-and-forth continues, it’s evident that the dynamics among these artists remain complex, with Mustard firmly establishing his stance while navigating the competitive landscape of the music industry. The exchange highlights the often tumultuous relationships within hip-hop, where social media interactions can quickly escalate into more significant disputes.
