21 Savageย faced some major backlash in the past 24 hours. As usual, his appearance on Clubhouse drew controversy when he debated the relevance ofย Nas. A snippet of the conversation circulated online where 21 explained that he didnโt feel Nas wasย relevantย to the current soundscape of rap. Instead, he thinks Nas simply makes quality music with a dedicated fanbase awaiting each drop.
โI donโt feel like heโs relevant,โ he said. โI just feel like he got a loyal fan base. He still makes good music.โ From there, the conversation led to a comparison between Jay-Z and Nas in 2022. Another participant on the call explained how Jay-Z has the internet talking non-stop over a single verse while Nas doesnโt necessarily gain the same type of traction when he releases music.
โI would never disrespect nas or any legend who paved the way for me yโall be tryna take stuff and run with it,โ he said.
Nas doesnโt seem pressed about 21โs comments, though. The Queensbridge rapper hopped on Instagram with a new set of photos and the caption below
