21 Savage: Drake's Rap Battle Was "Rigged"

21 Savage recently shared his perspective on the rap battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar, revealing that he advised Drake against engaging in the conflict. Savage explained that he believed Drake had nothing to gain from the back-and-forth, describing the situation as "rigged" by public perception.

According to Savage, even if Drake had emerged victorious in the lyrical exchange, he would still have been viewed negatively. Drake reportedly felt challenged lyrically, which motivated him to respond despite Savage's counsel. Savage emphasized that for someone already at the pinnacle of rap, there was no higher position to achieve.

The extensive rap feud saw both artists exchange numerous diss tracks. While the public ultimately favored Kendrick Lamar as the victor, especially after his hit song "Not Like Us," Savage's insights offer a behind-the-scenes look at the strategic considerations involved.
