21 Savage says he warned Drake before the Kendrick Lamar beef got out of hand, and he basically told him the whole thing was rigged against him from the start. The Atlanta rapper explained on Big Bank's show that he reached out after the Metro Boomin track dropped, and his message was blunt: this was an unwinnable situation, no matter how fire the bars were.
According to 21, the internet had already picked its winner before anyone even heard the disses, and nothing Drake could spit was gonna change that. He pointed out that even if Kendrick never responded at all, Drake still wouldn't have won because public opinion was locked in. The whole spectacle showed that his talent gets overshadowed when online bias and fan expectations decide the narrative beforehand.
21 wasn't calling Drake trash or anything, but he made it clear both rappers got caught up in their competitive nature, while the crowd was always gonna paint Drake as the villain regardless of the outcome.
