Metro’s Alleged Old Tweets Resurface
As Metro is living it up in the desert, Drake fans have dug up some of his old tweets seemingly in an attempt to defend him against Kendrick Lamar’s pedo accusations. XXL Magazine reports, the tweets posted decades ago imply that Metro has a thing for young girls.
“I’m tryna tell #oomf that age ain’t nothing but a number, “ a tweet from 2011 read.
A post from 2014 stated, “She might be young but she ready.”
“Got your lil sister on them mollies she done ran thru the whole squad,” a 2012 tweet said.
While Metro has not verified if the tweets are real, he did respond by stating that he was a teenager himself at the time.
“I can’t be a pedophile at 15 n****,” he stated in a now-deleted tweet.
As previously reported by The Shade Room, Metro caught a stray on Drake’s diss song for Kendrick Lamar on ‘Push Ups.’ The producer subsequently responded with a beat that mocked the rumor the Canadian rapper allegedly had plastic surgery. Drake fans seem to be looking for any angle to make OVO’s opps look bad, but young Metro is still getting lots of love.
@DJStylus tweeted, “Metro Boomin really going down in history as the genius behind the most brilliant, pettiest and farthest reaching clapback in popular music history.”
