Mustard isn’t interested in working with Drake in the future, even calling the Canadian hitmaker a “strange guy.”
Mustard, who played a pivotal role in the recent Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef by producing the latter’s chart-topping diss track “Not Like Us,” spoke about the success of the song in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.

When asked if he’d ever reconnect with The 6 God, who he previously worked with on YG‘s 2014 hit “Who Do You Love?,” the West Coast native gave a blunt answer: “I don’t think I want to make a song with that dude. He’s a strange guy.”
Kendrick Lamar, on the other hand, is anything but, according to Mustard.

“He’s just a genius. He does the unthinkable every time,” he said of his fellow Los Angeleno. “And on a human level, just as a normal person, I like his style.
“His whole mystique gives me the same vibes as Prince. Even now [after the success of ‘Not Like Us’], the guy has not posted anything. I told him, ‘I don’t know how you do that shit.’ Me, I’d be like, ‘Yeah, I’m no. 1!'”

Mustard’s comments come shortly after he hit out at Drake on social media after the Toronto native’s fans mocked the commercial performance of his new album Faith of a Mustard Seed.
In a series of posts on X, the producer began by saying he was “beyond grateful” for his reported first-week sales of 18,000 equivalent units.
Just hours later, though, he changed his tune, writing: “Album sales are a form of white supremacy you n-ggas racist.”
He then mentioned Akademiks, who frequently reports on the first-week numbers of big Hip Hop albums.

“Drake is the Malcolm x of white people,” Mustard added, before referencing Gordo’s new album Diamante which Drake executive produced and guested on.
“And Akademiks make sure you post [Gordo’s] first week since drake thought he did a thing with making him drop on the same day as me,” he continued.

The response from Drake fans inspired Mustard to follow up that message with several saying that Drizzy-related “bots” were invading his mentions.
“These drake bots are the Nation of drizzlam,” he joked. “These bots tryna fade me.”
