21 Savage is riding high after the release of his new album american dream. The project became an instant smash rising to the top of the Billboard 200 in its very first week. The album isn't going anywhere either as it's projected to spend a second week at the very top spot. It also debuted two songs in the top 10 of the Hot 100, "redrum" and "nee-nah" with Travis Scott and Metro Boomin. "redrum" landed in the top 5 and is expected to remain in the top 10 in its second week.
In a sort of victory lap for the new album, Savage appeared on Shannon Sharpe's show Club Shay Shay. The show was already a point of controversy earlier this year when Katt Williams appeared. He used it as a platform to deliver some truly unhinged stories that quickly went viral. By comparison, 21 is much more focused but that doesn't mean he didn't make some viral waves of his own. Most recently fans are discussing his comments about being friends with Drake. When Sharpe tries to bring up the fact that people don't like the For All The Dogs rapper for inexplicable reasons, Savage defends him. “I don’t know. I f*ck with Drake though. Drake’s my boy," he responds. Check out the clip from the interview below.
