Some fans assumed 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s new song “Snitches & Rats” was a diss aimed at Tekashi 6ix9ine, but 21’s focus wasn’t so singular.
The Epic Records artist addressed the speculation about him taking shots at 6ix9ine by clarifying the track’s intent on Friday (October 2).
“I see y’all talking about this ‘Snitches & Rats’ song like a 6ix9ine diss song or some shit,” he said in an Instagram livestream. “Man, 6ix9ine ain’t the only rat in America. He’s not the only snitch in the world, man. Fuck wrong with y’all? Y’all need to listen to that shit though ’cause that shit’s facts. A rat is a fucking rat. Period.”
“Snitches & Rats” appears on 21 and Metro’s Savage Mode II album, which was released on Friday. The track features 21’s cousin Young Nudy but is preceded by an interlude starring Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman, who details the differences between a snitch and a rat.
All 15 tracks on Savage Mode II are produced by Metro with some help from Southside, Honorable C.N.O.T.E. and Zaytoven, among others. Drake, Young Thug and the aforementioned Nudy make guest appearances on the album.

Savage Mode II is a sequel to 2016’s critically acclaimed Savage Mode. While 21 and Metro’s previous collab was an independent release, their latest project has the major label backing of Epic.

I still just dont get how they expect you to be loyal to your enemy if you locked up. To me its only snitching if you was cool with that person before you got locked up. Opps dont count, cuz they your opps plain and simple.
What if you snitch on people that did nothing to you? Much like the rapper you’re clearly referencing without saying the name of? 2 people in your squad do something to you so you flip on the other 14 for what?
Y’all will listen to the story of the rat and not even pay attetion to what really happened.
This guy is a straight clown along with everyone buying his merch too.. miss the ole days when your skill set was enough to speak for itself, once you heard a skilled individual is dropping you know to go buy because of the reputation, truly I do not understand why people buy any of this new garbage, do not tell me its because they ramble and act hard for clout before dropping too get their measly 15k record sales
I listened to one of 21 Savage songz, for the second time and almost half of my brain cells are bothering me. Some get ICE on the phone and get this Slick Rick up outta here. And Webbie was the original Savage…. Everything that got Savage started from Webbie… Biting MFS
Fucking rubbish imo
how much does it cost to advertise in times square and how can i get in contact with tekashis public relations agency?
The CIA want me dead why I live
