21 Savage Gets Savage With Freaknik Festival After They Threaten To Sue Him

21 Savage threw a Freaknik-themed party for his 29th birthday.

The folks behind the annual Atlanta event -- which returned in 2019 after a 20-year absence -- are now threatening to sue Savage for doing so without crediting them.

Spending over a million to revive a brand, fighting negative public perception and proving we can do it 2 years with no issues, comes at a cost. We can't let others just infringe on that. So know when you hear them talk about we tried to work it out very easily beforehand 😔

Saw @21savage and @megameezy #Freaknik21 last night at @underground_atlanta and looked like a super dope event. Sucks we gonna have to sue them when all we asked that they acknowledged us since it was a free event and they declined," typed the Freaknit Twitter page.

Savage responded to the threat of a lawsuit in typical savage fashion.
