Rapper 21 Savage recently got into a heated debate with an unknown man on Clubhouse, the app that became extremely popular in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While there’s not a lot of information about what started the argument, the recordings of the 30-year-old’s rants have begun circulating on social media.
The clip starts with the rapper, whose legal name is Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, making a statement about people from Chicago.
“You waited for this moment your whole life, so you could argue with a n***a on Clubhouse,” he said, as reported by Complex. You keep letting all these Chicago n****s boost your head up, like y’all n****s ain’t dying in real life, man. Stop playing.”
The unknown user attempted to ask the rapper if his point was that his “side didn’t take no losses.” From there, the exchange got pretty savage.
“Every n***a that we beef with, they got 30 of they n****s get smoked, n***a, and don’t nothing happen to us. In real life, n***a!”
Other rowdy voices were heard on both sides of the conversation.
Savage continued, “Man. Aye aye, look, cap, you from Chicago. I advise you to shut the f**k up! I advise you to shut the f**k up ’cause the n****s that I f**k with up there’ll spank your s**t! So stop playing!”
He continued, emphasizing, “Y’all ain’t spankin’ nothin’ n****a!”
The clip of the explosive words ends with Savage telling the user, “Aight look, aight look, aight look, you would die, you would die n***a! You would die!”

The London-born rapper has a history of causing waves on Clubhouse.
Blavity covered when he boldly stated he would win in a rap battle against anyone that graced the cover of XXL’s 2016 Freshman Class with him.
In addition to Savage, the 2016 cover included Denzel Curry, Kodak Black, G Herbo, Lil Yachty, Anderson .Paak, Dave East, Lil Dicky, Desiigner and Lil Uzi Vert.
It’s considered one of the most successful classes since the magazine’s annual listing was conceived.
While on the Clubhouse “stage,” Savage confidently said, “That freshman cover nobody can beat me, nobody.”
The moderator asked him to clarify further. “Oh, so you can beat Lil Uzi?”
He quickly responded, “Hell yeah!”

Although this statement could have led to a different outcome, it ended well for Savage.
The young rapper got to team up with the pioneer and release the collab single, “One Mic, One Gun.”
