21 Savage claims there is hope that his longtime collaborators Metro Boomin and Drake may eventually work together again. Savage revealed the steps that have been taken to make this happen while promoting his upcoming album.
21 Savage offered new insight into the strained relationship between Drizzy and Metro during his December 11 appearance on Perspektives. He suggested that Young Thug isn’t the only rapper trying to broker peace between the former collaborators.
In his discussion with host Big Bank, 21 described a behind-the-scenes effort to mend a rift that disrupted one of hip-hop’s most reliable creative pairings. Big Bank and 21 Savage have been friends since before the rap star pursued a music career.
“Metro felt a certain type of way about something,” 21 said, acknowledging the disagreement without elaborating on the specific catalyst.
The tension, he suggested, was significant enough to halt a partnership responsible for some of the most influential chart-topping records of the past decade. Still, he emphasized that Drake responded to the situation with accountability rather than defensiveness.
“Drake told me and Metro that he understood where he was wrong,” 21 said, characterizing the acknowledgment as sincere.
He noted that Drake repeatedly attempted to repair the relationship. “He apologized multiple times,” he continued, describing the gesture as an effort rooted in respect rather than obligation.

According to 21, those apologies helped build bridges to future possibilities. 21 Savage’s upcoming album will include Drake and Metro Boomin on it.
The shift, he said, is already visible. “Now, Metro is kind of more open minded,” 21 explained.
Suggesting that the producer’s posture has changed in the months following the initial fallout. While he stopped short of declaring a full reconciliation, he suggested that the pathway toward renewed collaboration is no longer obstructed.
That measured optimism shapes 21’s broader outlook. “I feel like in the future, the near future, we’ll see them work together again,” he said.
A reunion between Drake and Metro would hold significant weight within the industry, given their history of shaping radio and streaming trends through high-profile releases. Their split had generated widespread speculation among fans and industry observers, who questioned whether the rift was permanent.
For 21 Savage, the evolution of the situation underscores the role of communication and accountability in resolving creative conflicts. In a genre where public disputes often escalate and linger, his comments suggested that even fractured partnerships can find a path forward.
And if his prediction holds, Drake and Metro Boomin may enter a new phase of collaboration sooner than expected.
