Metro Boomin says he has no issue with The Joe Budden Podcast after sharing a number of scathing messages for critics of his new mixtape, A Futuristic Summa. Budden had remarked that he no longer views Metro's projects as an “instant purchase" after giving A Futuristic Summa a listen.
As fans began to theorize Metro was taking aim at Budden with his fiery posts, he wrote on X (formerly Twitter: "Let’s not do this! Big fan of the JBP and I’ve been a regular viewer for years and am even a subscriber on Patreon! I respect everything that was said up there (except Ish saying no girls are listening to this, n***a are you crazy LOL) ALL LOVE."
As for Budden's criticism, he complained on his podcast that he was only able to get through track five before turning it off. "I’m giving you my experience. I went to track five, I cut it off immediately, never to return to it," Budden said, as caught by Complex. "Now, I’m not saying that I won’t return to it. That was the end of my Metro Boomin experience." He also admitted that he shouldn't complain about it too much since he didn't get through the entire tracklist.

From there, he added in more posts: "IF YO HOMEBOY NEVER HAD TO HOLD YOU UP IN THE TEEN PARTY WHILE U WAS GETTING TWERKED ON THEN YOU MIGHT WANNA SIT THIS ONE OUT," as well as "IF YOU NEVER WENT OUT AND COMPETED WITH YA BOYS ON WHO WOULD GET THE MOST NUMBERS THEN YOU MIGHT WANNA SIT THIS ONE OUT."
