Atlanta rapper 21 Savage really isn’t here for the savagery. The hip-hop star has urged fans and musicians alike to cease feuding.
Sav went to Twitter last night (August 23) with an uplifting message about everyone winning.

Earlier this year, 21 raised eyebrows after urging people to stop feuding.
I wish everybody come together and kill all this beef They want us to kill each other especially now since we young and rich

In late June, Sav dished on his close-knit bond to Young Money’s Drake.
āDrake just a genuine-a** good-hearted person,ā he says, punting on why nobody else got him anything. āHe did a lot of shit he didnāt have to do. He do a lot of shit for up-and-coming rappers, period. I donāt think he get his respect for that. Every f*ckinā year, he pull a new artist up. Aināt no other artist on his level do that sh*t.ā (GQ)
21 also shot down speculation about recently trying to end the Pusha-T/Drake feud with a tweet telling people to end beefs.
āWhen I was talking about that, I wasn’t talking about [Pusha-T and Drakeās] beef. āCause they beef is like competition beef; itās more like who-can-out-rap-who type shit. Itās different,ā he tells me. āIf I beef with somebody, it’s going to be more than just a song. Iāma be trying to kill your a**.ā Given the recent fatal shootings of XXXTentacion and Jimmy Wopo, and the attempted shooting of Chief Keef in Times Square, the stakes outlined are, perhaps, not abstract. (There is no indication those shootings were related to rap feuds, but celebrity is not bulletproof.) āIf you do a song saying you gonā harm somebody that you rap beefing with, cut that sh*t out, unless you ready to kill somebody or die,ā 21 says. āIf I got beef with you, that mean I want to kill you. And I aināt go through all this shit to get rich to goddamn go to jail for killing.ā (GQ)
