Drake may feel like it’s “20 versus 1” in the rap game right now, but he still has a loyal comrade in 21 Savage.
The Atlanta rapper performed at the Budweiser Stage in Drizzy’s hometown of Toronto on Monday night (May 27) and surprised fans by bringing out the 6 God himself.

After performing fan-favorite collaborations “Rich Flex” and “Knife Talk,” 21 reaffirmed his loyalty to Drake, who has been embroiled in a bitter feud with several rap figures including Kendrick Lamar, Rick Ross and Metro Boomin, another close collaborator of 21’s.
“Aye, Toronto — make some muthafuckin’ noise for the one and only Drake,” the Slaughter Gang boss told the crowd, who obliged.

Returning the favor, Drake replied: “One last time please. Everybody in this city that we love so much, please make so noise for my muthafuckin’ brother 21 coming out killing this shit.
“You know I love y’all, I’ll see you soon. You home right now. It’s your city.”
As a close collaborator of Drake and Metro Boomin’s, 21 Savage has found himself in the middle of the pair’s high-profile feud.
He broke his silence on the situation during an Instagram Live session earlier month but refused to pick a side.

“Bruh, aye, don’t be coming on my muthafuckin’ Live talking about no muthafuckin’ beef,” he said after his stream was flooded with comments about the feud. “Metro my brother and Drake my brother. They gon’ figure that shit out eventually.”
Over the weekend, 21 Savage was on Instagram Live once again and added Metro Boomin to the broadcast. However, things went left after Metro jokingly called him “OVO Savage” in the comments section.
The multi-platinum producer also joked: “I JUS KNOW U GOT A OWL TRAMP STAMP,” referring to the owl logo of Drake’s OVO brand.
After realizing, 21 removed Metro from the Live and said: “Oh, you was talking shit, bitch? Get off my Live […] I’m finna block this n-gga.”

He then yelled out: “Metro, shut your ho ass up and make some drums, n-gga,” quoting Drake’s line from “Push Ups.”
21 Savage’s show in Toronto was a part of his American Dream Tour, which began on May 1 and will continue until June 15.
