Kodak Black and 21 Savage are at it after the Florida rapper claimed that the Her Loss rapper had shamed him about his album sales.
On Instagram on Sunday, Kodak Black responded after 21 Savage posted a shady tweet asking where the fans are when unnamed rappers drop albums. 21 Savage’s tweet came following Kodak’s response to him claiming that Nas was not relevant in today’s music scene.
On Sunday, Kodak released a long message targeting 21 and his tweet shading his album sales.
“21 do his thing I give him credit where its due, but don’t come for me [talking] ’bout my album sales homie that ain’t gangsta!” he wrote. “You n***as know what I been thru in this shit. And you n***as had a whole consistent run with no hiccups [for real] and y’all 30 years old plus! I’m a yung n***a doin this sh– since I came in the game.”
Kodak Black, who saw commercial success with his album Back for Everything, which featured the platinum-selling song “Super Gremlin,” also promised competition to his fellow rappers.
“But let’s see how this shit go now that I been home and I’m consistent with this shit,” he ended.
Kodak’s direct response to 21 Savage comes following his response to the Atlanta rapper claiming that Nas “isn’t relevant he has a strong core fan base.” Kodak did not hold back as he called out 21 Savage and even hinted that the current numbers he was seeing were because of Drake being the heavyweight on the project.
“This m****af**ka talking about Nas irrelevant,” Kodak on Instagram Live. “How the f**k Nas ain’t relevant, homie? N***a smoking d**k because of Drake. We from the projects. We from the trenches. We don’t give a f**k about no…you did a Drake. We salute Drake. We love Drake. OK, whatever. Fam, folks smoking d**k. Nas that n***a.”
Kodak Black and 21 Savage’s exchange appears to stem from 21’s comment that no one from his 2016 XXL Freshman year can compete with him in a Verzuz battle. Kodak, who was a part of the same group, appeared to take exception to the comment.
As for 21 Savage, he’s flying high after his joint Drake album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts this week. The album is already certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) over the weekend, having sold over 500,000 units.
21 Savage tweeted yesterday that he would never disrespect Nas and calls the New York rapper a legend who paved the way for artists like himself.

Yung Bleu is responding to backlash from DMX fans after covering the late rapper’s hit song, “How’s It Goin’ Down,” off of his 1998 debut album.
On Monday, Yung Bleu released the music video for the track “What Type of Games” produced by Murda Beatz.
Bleu’s track incorporated DMX’s chorus, which led to fans calling him out for the sample. Many fans felt that the song was a legendary track, and even though Bleu was a good artist, they did not want the track to be touched.
Yung Bleu, however, defended the track and said that he was not destroying a classic, but rather he had received the artist’s blessings before and that the song is also bringing proceeds to the artist’s estate and his children.
“I understand that’s such a great song and it will never be duplicated no. Matter what by any artist ! Classic ! I’m paying homage! and mainly bringing more income to his estate at that! that’s what matter to me,” he said in a since deleted Tweet.
Bleu added that he and DMX spoke on the phone two weeks before his death.
The artist added that he and DMX had even discussed him making music together. Their plans, however, fell through after the artist passed away on April 9, 2021, after suffering a heart attack.
“He was gonna be on my song Ghetto. Love Birds so this was my dedication after that! Anyways! fly high og! I hope it get a billion streams,” Bleu said in another tweet.
In the meantime, the track “What Type Of Games” is off of the album ‘Tantra’ released by Bleu on November 11.
The featured artists include Nicki Minaj, Fivio Foreign, Zayn, Lucky Daye, Kelly Rowland, and French Montana.
In the meantime, some fans also shared support for Blue. One fan wrote on Instagram, “MX did show his support for Bleu prior to passing, so at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter if we like his art or not, it’s his music and his song, so let him rock out with his homage. He never compared himself to DMX as so many newer artist try and do with Legends. At least he’s respectful.”
“Adding income to his estate should shut y’all up,” another said. “He doesn’t have to explain himself people are easily bothered. I love his creativity,” another said.
