Drake and Kendrick Lamar weren’t the only two hip-hop superstars feuding in April and May 2024. Rap producer Metro Boomin entered the fight with a Drake diss track, “BBL Drizzy.” Metro also released the beat for free online so fans could freestyle over it.
But what does “BBL Drizzy” mean? Drizzy is one of Drake’s nicknames, and BBL refers to a kind of plastic surgery the Canadian hip-hop star is alleged to have had. Metro’s song features a “BBL Drizzy” sample, another Drake diss track of the same name by comedian King Willonious.
Drake engaged Metro in the diss track battle about a month earlier when he dropped “Push Ups” in April, and targeted Metro again with “Family Matters,” dropped shortly before “BBL Drizzy” was released, Billboard reported.
BBL = Brazilian butt lift
As mentioned, Drizzy is a Drake nickname, and BBL stands for Brazilian butt lift, a type of plastic surgery. Drake has not confirmed or denied the allegations, brought on by a perceived change in his appearance. Rapper Rick Ross coined the nickname “BBL Drizzy,” and King Willonious and Metro Boomin adopted it.
Has Drake responded?
Drake had yet to respond to Metro Boomin’s diss track, or to the barrage of X posts targeted at the IDGAF rapper as of this report, but at the rate the ever-widening diss track war has been going, his retort will likely come soon. Reportedly, Drake did, however, post on social media, “You just cheffed a beat about my a**?” In the meantime, the response to Boomin’s challenge for the best BBL Drizzy freestyle has been strong. Reporting from the frontlines of World War Drake, we’ll keep you posted.
