Mustard scored the West Coast savvy track, but tells Billboard he had no clue-what-so-ever Kendrick was releasing the song — or even crafted it to be a Drake diss. 😂

The 10 Summers exec also shot down rumors he used Nas‘ “Ether” beat to make the song … he was simply channeling Dr. Dre and Lil Jon energy in the studio, and the result became the No. 1 song on the Hot 100!!!
Mustard also claims it only took him 30 minutes to make the life-changing beat … which now sits at hundreds of millions of streams!!!
