Stat Quo Claims Drake’s Top Producers, 40 and Boi-1da, Had Long-Standing Feud

Stat Quo, a former Dr. Dre protégé, has shed light on a behind-the-scenes issue in Drake’s camp, claiming that the rapper’s top producers, OVO’s Noah ’40’ Shebib and Boi-1da, had been at odds for years. During a discussion on Justin Hunte’s ‘Culture United’ stream, Stat revealed that Drake’s producers were involved in a long-standing feud, describing the situation as ‘two-faced’ and adding that the tension was visible to those in the know. Stat also apologized partially to Boi-1da during the conversation, acknowledging that revealing this drama might affect their relationship. Both 40 and Boi-1da have been instrumental in crafting some of Drake’s biggest hits, including ‘God’s Plan’ and ‘Summer Sixteen’. Despite their apparent conflict, they were able to collaborate and produce major tracks for the rapper. Stat’s remarks come amid a broader conversation about the challenges artists face within their teams and the complexities of creative collaboration. Additionally, Stat echoed DJ Akademiks’ concerns about Young Thug’s career struggles, highlighting how his strict probation is impacting his music. Stat also commented on Lil Baby’s trajectory, suggesting that the absence of Thug, Gunna, and Lil Yachty has affected his recent output, even though his last album was a commercial success.
