21 Savage has been speaking with a lot of confidence lately since he and Drake released their joint project Her Loss, and the Atlanta rapper is ruffling a few feathers in the rap world in the process.
In a Clubhouse chat on Nov. 7, Savage made a bold statement and said that he could beat anyone in a Verzuz from the 2016 XXL Freshman list. That list includes Savage, Kodak Black, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, Denzel Curry, G Herbo, Dave East, Lil Dicky, Desiigner, and Anderson .Paak.
Kodak Black later responded to Savage’s statement, saying he respects the confidence but it’s “cap.”

Savage, not one to back down from a challenge, doubled down on his claims in a Twitch stream on Nov. 9.

“Kodak got some s—,” Savage said. “It just depends how a n—- play it. They be acting like I don’t got that s—.”
Savage then debunked claims that he’s known mostly for features, and he can’t have success by himself.
“Before all this Drake s—, I been having diamond songs,” Savage continued. “Probably the only n—- of this generation to go platinum with no features. They always talking about ‘Savage a feature artist.’ No, Savage went platinum with no features my first album.”
Savage and Black have made a lot of hits over the years, so it would them going head-to-head in a Verzuz would be sight to see and a sound to hear.
