21 Savage Clarifies Comments On Drake and Future

In an interview with DJ Akademiks, 21 Savage said he wouldn't be listening to Drake's music if he was on the streets and not a rapper

"N*ggas don't be listening to Drake like that," 21 said. "If I wasn't a rapper, I don't feel like I still would listen to Drake, for real. It's just I'm a rapper, so I understand the work he put in, how hard he go.

"Like when you ain't no rapper, all them statistics don't mean sh*t.  "A regular street n*gga don't give a fuck about how many times you went number one, like how many white people listen to your sh*t because they don't even think. The farthest they think is the club. Who's selling this club out?"

He also suggested Future is bigger than Drake, from a certain perspective.

"That's who they think is the biggest n*gga In Atlanta, it's a lot of n*ggas who you really can't tell them Future ain't bigger than Drake. I used to think that."

After some outlets reported that Savage -- who's career has benefitted from multiple Drake stimulus packages -- had said Future was bigger than Drake in Atlanta, 21 clarified.

"Na I said some people that come from where I come from do ..because when I was younger I was disconnected from mainstream music I didn't know what Spotify was until I was a rapper all we know was mixtapes," Savage typed.
