Mustard has been going at it with fans on social media in the wake of the news that his latest album, Faith of a Mustard Seed only moved 18,000 copies in its first week of availability. Initially, he remarked that album sales “are a form of white supremacy,” which prompted the trolling from fans on X (formerly Twitter). From there, he went on to label Drake the “Malcolm X of white people.” He famously produced Kendrick Lamar‘s hit diss track, “Not Like Us.”
“Album sales are a form of white supremacy you n****s racist,” Mustard wrote in one post. He followed up by responding to the Drake fans trolling him for the lack of sales. “Drake is the Malcolm X of white people [laughing emoji] and Akademiks make sure you post Gordo’s first week since Drake thought he did a thing with making him drop on the same day as me,” he wrote.

One user shared a post from Mustard dating back to 2019 in which he celebrated how many albums he sold with one of his releases. “Now it’s racism, should’ve got carti up there again maybe you would’ve moved some units,” they wrote. Another similarly remarked: “It’s only racist when your album flops. If your album sold well, you’d be flexing your sales.”
Mustard Goes Back & Forth With Fans
Some users did come to Mustard’s defense. One fan replied: “I hate how people use album sales as a metric to grade how good and powerful the music is. If you changed one persons life while they listened to any of the tracks you already won man!” Check out more posts on X below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Mustard on HotNewHipHop.
