What do you get when you mix 6ix9ine's penchant for skits and comedy, 21 Savage's U.K origins, and 21's recent diss towards Tekashi? Content.

21 Savage's recent interview on Perspektives With Bank certainly held a lot of perspective. Whether it was his new album What Happened To The Streets?, his industry relationships, or his life story, he had a lot to say. But the Atlanta MC also made some comments about Tekashi 6ix9ine that made the New York provocateur clap back with theatrical and unsurprisingly petty force.

Then, "the King of England" chases "21 Savage" down and tackles him, followed by the real Tekashi saying Savage will never be a United States citizen. You can't knock him over lack of effort, at least...

21 Savage 6ix9ine Beef

For those unaware, 6ix9ine dissed 21 Savage's origins and career in recent months, perhaps as a part of his crusade against various Atlanta rappers these days. Of course, their tensions date before that. In fact, he even recently joked with DJ Vlad about getting him a green card so he could marry Latto.

"I'm definitely marrying Latto. I'ma marry Latto so she could give a green card to her husband," Tekashi remarked. We'll see if 21 responds...
