Oh, yeah, the beef ain’t over for Mustard. While Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s beef continues, their respective producers trash-talking each other on social media.

Mustard exposes longtime Drake producer Boi-1da for saying unflattering things about West Coast Hip-Hop. The drama unfolded Monday when Mustard shared screenshots of Boi-1da’s Instagram messages, where the Toronto producer bluntly declared, “West Coast rap is ass.” The comment struck a nerve, with Mustard comparing it to dismissive nonsense, calling out the insult as utterly baseless.

Boi-1da doubled down on his critique, dismissing Mustard’s defense that West Coast music needs to be experienced in its natural environment to be fully appreciated. According to Boi-1da, the sound doesn’t resonate beyond Los Angeles.

The remarks stunned Mustard, who was quick to dig up receipts, reminding his fellow producer of past praise. Specifically, Mustard pointed out that Boi-1da had celebrated the success of Not Like Us, a track Mustard co-produced with Sean Momberger, which hit No. 1.

Expressing his disappointment, Mustard didn’t hold back. He even hinted at immortalizing Boi-1da’s words with a “wacced-out mural” in the future. The tension is particularly surprising given Boi-1da’s history.

While he contributed to Drake’s “Family Matters,” a pointed diss toward Kendrick earlier this year, he also worked on tracks for Kendrick’s critically acclaimed Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers album in 2021. The contradiction adds another layer to the ongoing drama.

Fans on social media are already calling for a resolution, with many suggesting a producer showdown on Verzuz, hosted by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland. A battle of beats might be the ultimate way to settle the score and let the music speak for itself.

For now, the tension between these two heavyweight producers mirrors the broader rivalry between their respecti

Biography

Williams was the younger son of a Breconshire family which acquired Talyllyn by marriage in 1622. No details of his education are known, but just before the Restoration he was practising as a doctor in Kent and was admitted a licentiate of the College of Physicians. He acted as informer against the local Cavaliers in 1659. He owed his place at Court to Charles II’s hobby of chemistry, and to ‘the extraordinary learning and skill which he shows in compounding and inventing medicines, some of which have been prepared in the royal presence’. In 1669 Cambridge awarded him an honorary MD, and the post of chemical physician was created for him; the salary was a nominal £20 p.a., but from midsummer 1674 he was drawing £1,000 a year from the hard-pressed Treasury for laboratory equipment. He was already connected with Herefordshire through his mother and second wife, and he bought the crown lease of Kingsland from (Sir) Robert Harley I about 1669. He was made steward of the manor and receiver-general for the county,

Biography

John Williams was of Welsh descent. His father was the first of the line to anglicize his name and probably the first to seek his fortune in England. He was a kinsman of Morgan Williams who married Cromwell’s sister, a relationship which must have helped his son in his early career: in 1535 Gregory Cromwell wrote to his own father from Rycote that he had been splendidly entertained by all the neighbourhood, especially b

Biography

Williams, a partner in his father’s bank in Birchin Lane, became an alderman of London, representing Cornhill ward, before he was thirty.1 He entered Parliament in 1802 as Lord Clarendon’s guest. He was generally well disposed to government, but inconspicuous in the House. Listed a friend of Pitt in September 1804, he raised doubts about it in 1805 by voting for the criminal prosecution of Melville, 12 June, and refusing to rescind that vote, 25 June. He voted against the Grenville ministry at the outset, 3 Mar. 1806, and again, 13 Feb. 1807, on the Hampshire election.

Williams had to find another seat in 1807. Sir Christopher Hawkins offered him one for Grampound for £4,000, but the poll went against him. The election was voided and Williams came in after another contest, only to be unseated on petition seven weeks later. He became a member of the Pitt Club. In January 1809 he was defeated by a Whig in a by-election at St. Albans, but soon afterwards came in for an Irish seat placed at Treasury disposal by Lord Desart. He stood by Perceval’s ministry on the Scheldt question, 23, 26 Jan., 5, 30 Mar. 1810, and was listed ‘against the Opposition’ by the Whigs. He may have spoken on 15 June 1809 against Burdett’s motion for parliamentary reform2 and he was an opponent of it on 21 May 1810. He was in the government minority on the Regency, 1 Jan. 1811, and voted against a change of administration, 21 May 1812.
