The resurfaced tweets in question were posted between 2011 and 2014, a period during which the St. Louis native was between 17 and 20 years old.
Additional posts feature song lyrics alluding to drugging girls with molly — "a lab-made (synthetic) drug that has effects similar to stimulants like methamphetamine" that "can mildly alter visual and time perception," according to the National Institute of Drug Abuse — alongside a series of tweets from 2010 outlining a set of 10 rules.
Among these rules included "No Means Blow," and "Commin 2 my hotel ya gotta blow, 1, 2, 3, and maybe 4."

Metro has yet to speak out about the unearthed tweets.
Metro Boomin initiated the verbal battle alongside Future and K. Dot in the song "Like That," sparking a series of diss tracks between the feuding artists filled with scandalous allegations.
After initially offering a free beat to the person who made the best verse over his instrumental, "BBLDrizzy," Metro raised the stakes by promising $10,000 and a free beat to the winner of the contest.
