Drake Producer Gordo Accuses Mustard Of Switching Up On Him

The feud between producers Gordo and DJ Mustard has escalated, with Gordo publicly accusing Mustard of distancing himself following their fallout over the Drake-Kendrick Lamar rivalry. The latest chapter in their beef unfolded on April 14, 2025, when Gordo took to X to express his disappointment, claiming Mustard unfollowed him on Instagram after headlining Coachella. “Omg just noticed mustard unfollowed me on ig….Sad day…headlining chella must of got to his head,” Gordo posted, sparking a flurry of reactions online.

The tension stems from their opposing allegiances in the high-profile 2024 Drake-Kendrick Lamar feud. Gordo, a longtime collaborator with Drake, produced hits like STICKY and RICH BABY DADDY for the Toronto rapper, while Mustard’s production on Kendrick Lamar’s chart-topping diss track NOT LIKE US, cemented his role in the Compton MC’s camp. The rift deepened last August when Mustard accused Drake of orchestrating a sabotage by having Gordo release his album Diamante on the same day as Mustard’s Faith of a Mustard Seed to overshadow its success. Mustard’s album sold 18,000 units in its first week, compared to Diamante’s 20,000, fueling his frustration.

Mustard didn’t hold back, previously calling Drake “the Malcolm X of white people” and labeling his fanbase the “Nation of Drizzlam” in a heated X rant. He also told The Los Angeles Times he had no interest in working with Drake, describing him as a “strange guy.” Gordo responded at the time with a backhanded compliment, praising Mustard’s legacy while echoing the “strange guy” jab: “I will not tolerate any dj mustard slander…. That guy is a f*cking legend… made multiple classics.. and had one the most iconic runs ever as a producer… he’s just a strange guy.”

The latest accusation from Gordo has reignited fan debates on X, with some siding with Mustard’s Coachella success and others mocking his perceived sensitivity. One user wrote, “Meanwhile, you not headlining Coachella nor DJing a stadium tour,” while another quipped, “Once you’ve heard one mustard beat you’ve heard them all.” Despite the shade, Mustard’s profile has soared since NOT LIKE US, which earned him a Grammy for Record of the Year, though Faith of a Mustard Seed underperformed commercially.

Gordo, who transitioned from his DJ Carnage moniker to focus on house and techno, continues to ride the wave of Diamante’s success, bolstered by Drake’s features on tracks like SIDEWAYS and HEALING. Neither producer has commented further on the unfollowing incident, but the ongoing sniping suggests their rift, tied to the larger Drake-Kendrick saga, is far from resolved.
