We’ve gained nothing from the streets but trauma,” 21 Savage wrote, sparking widespread discussion and engaging Rocky in a broader dialogue within hip-hop. On social media, he stated, “Next time you say ‘forget the streets,’ just know I’m not cooperating with any of you backstage. I never thought I’d see the day when aiming for a feature from 21 Savage meant siding against street credibility. Boosie Badazz pushed back against those who reject street life altogether, urging rappers to either stop referencing the streets or fully embrace their origins. Fivio Foreign also criticized 21 Savage’s stance, arguing it oversimplifies the complexities of life in the streets.
