Video After The Jump
When 22 Savage emerged on the rap scene most people assumed it was just someone trying to parody 21 Savage. After all, 21 was established and the Atlanta artist's career was solidified when he was named a 2016 XXL Freshman.
However, 22 hasn't gone away. In fact, the Baton Rouge comedian-turned-rapper has continued to release songs and videos.
21 and his homie No Plug initially ignored the situation, but as of late the two camps have been dissing each other.
22 sat down for a new interview with Say Cheese TV to give his side of the story.
Say Cheese: Last time we spoke you and 21 Savage didn't have a difference. Now it's 'fuck them, fuck this nigga, I'm coming to Baton Rouge, I'm doing this.' What sparked that off?
22: One of his homeboys had made a post with little tombstones. I guess they thought I wasn't a street nigga or something. I'm really a street nigga so i told the niggas to pull up. It went from there. Everybody made videos and shit.
Say Cheese: So, he put tombstones over your picture?
22: Yeah, and then No Plug had commented under what one of his homeboys said. He was like 'something, something, something,' so I told him to pull up.
Say Cheese: No Plug is a guy that's pretty known in the industry for the Bankroll Fresh situation. Do you know him personally?
22: No
Say Cheese: You told him pull up. And then what happened after that?
22: They got to making videos. I said what I had to say. And that was that.
Say Cheese: One thing that really shocked me was I never seen a situation where the whole city stood up for one guy. Why do you think B.R. stood up for you like that?
22. That Rouge gon' roll with that Rouge regardless
Say Cheese: No Plug said he was gonna come out here and shoot a music video. Was that his video or somebody he was cool with?
22. I don't know. It just don't matter who he come with.
Say Cheese: You also tweeted that 21 Savage hit up Worldstar and told them not to post any of your content. How did you feel about that when you found out about it?
22: I understand where he coming from 'cause my name 22. But it is what it is.
Say Cheese: So why 22, out of every rapper in the game?
22: It come from the comedy shit. At first it was a joke, until a nigga thought I was pussy. I ain't pussy at all.
Say Cheese: Why do you think people don't take you serious?
22: 'Cause my name 22. 21 ... 22, the whole concept is funny. People look at it as a joke. Now it's time to show 'em what it's really hitting for with me and the music. I'm raw with this shit.
Say Cheese: I did a interview with a few artists and they felt like you had to go to Atlanta for them to take you serious. If you gon' try to follow a artist's footsteps. His name and stuff like that ...
22: I didn't really try to follow him. i did it 'cause I knew what it was gon' do. I know how to cause controversy easy.
Say Cheese: Is the differences done with 21 Savage?
22: I can't say all that 'cause you don't never know how they thinking, so you'll never know how we thinking.They come to the Rouge on the dumb shit we gotta stand up and show a nigga.
Say Cheese: What if they come out here and they not fucking with nobody? They just shooting videos and shit like that. Is it cool or is it a no fly zone right now?
22: Right now, as far as what they said it's a no fly zone. I don't nothing else to say on that.
