It was released on May 5, 2024 in response to the Drake–Kendrick Lamar feud which consisted of multiple diss tracks from both sides.

Metro announced he would offer a free beat and a $10,000 cash prize to whoever delivered the best rap over the backing track in an effort to deride Canadian rapper Drake.[3] The song's title derives from rapper Rick Ross ironizing about a rumor that Drake received plastic surgery on his abs and on his nose, using the slang term "BBL", which is an acronym to Brazilian butt lift.[4][5]
"BBL Drizzy" quickly went viral, generating more than 3.3 million streams on SoundCloud within a week.[6]
