Metro Boomin and Future are trusting their fans to buy tour tickets.
The Grammy-winning rapper and Grammy-nominated producer announced their We Trust You Tour kicking off this July through the end of summer.
Future and Metro Boomin will make stops across North America with a 27-date tour including performances in Atlanta, Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago and more to celebrate their double feature albums, "We Don't Trust You," which was released in March, and their April follow-up "We Still Don't Trust You."
The albums stirred controversy in rap with disses aimed at Drake from guest stars J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd and A$AP Rocky.
Presale tickets are available Wednesday for Cash App card customers, starting at 10 a.m. local time. General sale will begin on Friday at 10 a.m. local time on livenation.com.
J. Cole takes apparent swipe at Drakein 'Red Leather' after Kendrick Lamar diss apology
J. Cole apologizes to Kendrick Lamarfor 'lame' diss '7 Minute Drill': 'I was conflicted'
Future and Metro Boomin's "We Don't Trust You," released March 22, and "We Still Don't Trust You," released April 12, unleashed grievances other rappers had with Toronto rapper Drake.
Lamar, Cole and Drake are widely recognized as their rap class' "Big Three," the most recognizable stars in the genre over the past decade. Cole referred to himself, Drake (Aubrey Graham) and Lamar (K. Dot) as the "big three" in modern rap in Drake's 2023 song "First Person Shooter."
Lamar shut down the "big three" line on the "We Don't Trust You" track "Like That." In the song, he called out "First Person Shooter" by name and said "it's just big me" when it comes to rap titans.
Following the diss, J. Cole dropped a surprise album, "Might Delete Later," which included "7 Minute Drill," where Cole alluded to hearing about Lamar's diss, rapping, "I got a phone call, they say that somebody dissing / You want some attention, it come with extensions."
"He still doing shows but fell off like 'The Simpsons,'" the North Carolina rapper continued, adding that Lamar's first album was "classic" and his latest was "tragic."
But two days later, at his Dreamville Festival, J. Cole told his home state crowd during a headlining set that his diss track was a "lame" and "goofy" decision, in videos captured by attendees.
J. Cole later appeared as a guest on the "We Still Don't Trust You" track "Red Leather," a seven-minute song that features an apparent swipe at Drake.
"Kept my nose out the streets, but I love to get a whiff / Of the action, with risk comes attraction / The blicks get to blastin’, I turn into a track star,” Cole raps on the track, who also said that his "story's more clever, my similes was better."
Rapper A$AP Rocky, who is the longtime boyfriend of Drake's ex Rihanna, also took shots at Drake on the "We Still Don't Trust You" track "Show of Hands," saying the Canadian rapper's latest music "came and went" and he didn't "trust" him.
The Weeknd joined the band wagon on "We Still Don't Trust You," remarking on the track "All to Myself" that he's glad never "signed (his) life away" to Drake's OVO label. He also took aim at Drake's "shooters," joking that they're too busy "making TikToks."
Future didn't let his features have all the fun. On the track "This Sunday," Future seemingly interpolates the chorus of Drake’s 2016 song "Feel No Ways" by telling his former "Life Is Good" collaborator that he doesn't care if Drake "feel a way" about all the disses.
Drake has yet to issue a formal response to the diss tracks, although a rumored single allegedly called "Push Ups" was leaked on social media Saturday that seemingly addresses Lamar and Metro Boomin.
