In fact, 21 Savage recently offered his opinion on the rapper’s presence in the hip-hop scene. Of course, he agrees that Nas belongs in the G.O.A.T category of rap stars. However, he doesn’t consider Nas a “relevant” star. Unfortunately, 21 Savage’s comments upset dedicated Nas fans and essentially, put him in the doghouse.

I would never disrespect Nas or any legendary artist who paved the way for me. Some people try to twist things and create controversy, but that’s not my style. I have nothing but respect for those who came before me. 🤦🏾♂️

Social media can be used to inspire people. However, it can also lead to social suicide and destroy a person’s career. Moreover, 21 Savage understands better than anyone that information on a social media often gets taken out of context.
Furthermore, the UK rapper responded to the backlash on social media by simply explaining that he hasn’t “disrespected” Nas’ name in anyway. “I would never disrespect [N]as or any legend who paved the way for me. Y’all be tryna take stuff and run with it,” the rapper tweeted.
Additionally, fans further argued that the rapper used the word “relevancy” to explain that Nas’ music seldom plays on radio stations or at clubs. Honestly, we can’t trust social media these days.
