“M.F.T.R” stands for More Famous Than Rich. Pusha spoke with Billboard Magazine and explained the inspiration behind the title:

When you look at society, it’s like a big masquerade even through social media. I’m from a time, an era and a lifestyle where you can’t really speak on it without really having it. To be more famous than rich seems to be a thing that’s going on right now and I’m not into that.

Pusha spoke about this in more detail during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, saying that the song was for all the people that don’t really have money but are still showing off on Instagram.

You can listen to the interview here:

There seems to be a few shots at the Cash Money family, especially Lil Wayne, Drake, and the rest of Wayne’s Young Money label too. Despite their fame, the rappers haven’t seen the proceeds from their album sales, while Birdman has gotten rich at them. Pusha’s been speaking on that label situation for years, most notably on “Exodus 23:1”, and dropped another line about it on “Untouchable”, the first single from this album.

The track features R&B singer The-Dream, who also provided soulful vocals on “40 Acres” from My Name is My Name.

“M.F.T.R.” premiered on Beats 1 Radio exclusively, listen here:
