The drama unfolded last week when Gordo, a frequent collaborator of Drake, took to Twitter to reveal that Mustard had removed him from his following list on Instagram. “Oh, my God. Just noticed Mustard unfollowed me on IG,” he expressed on X. “Sad day…headlining [Coachella] must have gotten to his head.” This tweet sparked a wave of speculation about the dynamics of their professional relationship and the implications of such online actions in the music industry.
Responding swiftly, Mustard made it clear that he would not engage in a back-and-forth with someone he perceived as seeking attention. His tweet stated, “Ain’t going back and forth with a n—a that’s happy to change music on another n—a’s toilet seats.” He further asserted his success by saying, “Let’s just end it here: I’m richer than you and have more hits than you. I have multiple houses with my own toilet seats and many of my own chains to wear.” His remarks reflect a common theme in the industry about the correlation between fame and financial success.
Mustard continued to ridicule Gordo’s attempts to garner attention by stating, “The guy wants attention. Keep slaving at those overseas shows, brother. Don’t forget to buckle dude’s pants after you’re done,” before mocking a photo of Gordo flaunting a necklace. This exchange highlights the competitive nature of the music industry, where artists often take jabs at each other to assert dominance and maintain relevance.
The producer of Drake’s hit song “Sticky” did not hold back, bringing up the fact that Kendrick Lamar failed to show support during Mustard’s performance at Coachella. He remarked, “Imagine devoting your entire Coachella set to a guy that wouldn’t drive an hour to pop out for you.” This comment not only emphasizes the perceived lack of loyalty but also showcases the high expectations artists have for their peers in terms of support and camaraderie.
In a previous tweet earlier this month, Gordo claimed he had altered the music settings of a couple of toilets in Drake’s Toronto mansion, known as the Embassy. “When you use the bathroom at Drake’s house, usually the toilet will play 2Pac,” he tweeted. “But today I changed one toilet to play ‘Healing’ and the other one to play ‘Sideways.’” This playful yet provocative statement showcases the unique and often humorous relationship between artists as they navigate their fame and friendships.
Gordo also shared a picture of himself donning a recently acquired N.E.R.D chain, previously owned by Pharrell and Kid Cudi. He claimed that he discovered the chain in Drake’s kitchen, asserting, “I’m 100 percent taking it.” This act not only demonstrates Gordo’s playful attitude but also highlights the luxurious lifestyle that comes with success in the music industry.
