Drake and Future reportedly squashed their feud, per Elliot Wilson.

After months of tension, Drake and Future have reportedly resolved their differences, according to Hip Hop journalist Elliott Wilson on The Bigger Picture podcast. Wilson noted that Young Thug’s recent call for peace among Drake, Future, and Metro Boomin helped ease the feud. “I have it on good authority that Drake and Future have at least gotten on the phone and resolved their differences,” Wilson shared, adding that Future reposting Thug’s message likely encouraged the reconciliation. Despite Drake’s recent lyrics in “Family Matters” hinting at tension, Wilson suggested the issue was primarily loyalty-driven, with Future backing Metro in his ongoing conflict with Drake. Wilson clarified that while Metro and Drake remain at odds, the What A Time To Be Alive collaborators, Drake and Future, are now on good terms, noting their long-standing history and mutual respect.
