The disagreement began when someone highlighted to Metro Boomin that "Heroes & Villains" had accumulated more streams in a single year (3.7 billion) than any other rap album since 2018. Furthermore, it currently receives more than double the daily streams of "Her Loss."

In response to these stats, Metro criticized the success of "Her Loss," tweeting, "Yet 'Her Loss' keeps winning rap album of the year over H&V. Proof that award shows are just politics and not for me. Idc about awards honestly, the true award and REWARD is knowing that the music I spend so much time on brings joy to people’s everyday lives."
Drake seemed to respond on his Instagram Stories by quoting a JAY-Z song: "Damn, little mans, I’m just tryin’ to do me/ If the record’s two mil, I’m just tryin’ to move three."
Metro's discontent with the success of "Her Loss" is interesting considering he is credited as a producer on the album's track "More M’s" and has produced several hits for Drake in the past, including the Future collaboration "Jumpman" and "Knife Talk." Additionally, he shares a close relationship with 21 Savage, having released two collaborative albums with the Atlanta rap star.
