โWhat the f ck are you talking about, Metro Groomin? You were excited to go to the studio with Jeezy, b*tch *ss boy? Do not play with me anymore. I had a number one in 2007 when I was seventeen years old. You were still in first grade. โBoy, you were in middle school.โ

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Soulja Boyโs net worth is $5 million as of April 2024, while 21 Savageโs is $16 million.Based on Celebrity Net Worth, 21 Savage has a net worth $9 million more than Soulja Boy.
He is from Chicago and goes by the name DeAndre Cortez Way. His first song, โCrank That,โ made him famous in 2007. Souljaboytellem, his first record, was a big hit when it came out in 2007 and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.
However, both critics and fans of his later records didnโt like them as much, which led the rapper to go solo.
Forbes put Big Draco on their list of Hip-Hopโs Top 20 Earners in 2010 (tied with T-Pain) because they both made $6 million. Celeb Net Worth says that the rapper made over $7 million in 2012, making him one of the Hip Hop Cash Kings.
It was revealed by the singer of โCrank Thatโ in 2011 that he had bought a $55 million Gulfstream G5, which included $20 million in upgrades. He said he had signed a $400 million record deal in 2016.
Way made a deal with World Poker Fund Holdings to market an online game called CelebrityWorld.com. The amount of the deal is still unknown.
The companyโs market value was only about $50 million at the time, which made people wonder about the $400 million deal. A representative for the business said:
It was a bit hasty of him to use the $400 million number. The deal is worth up to $400 million and is based on how much the company is worth in the futureโฆ He was very excited and tweeted something that he possibly shouldnโt have.
Soulja Boy has done more than just make music. He started a record label called Stacks on Deck Entertainment, designed clothes, and released a game console.
UK-born 21 Savage, on the other hand, started his career in 2013 after his best friend was killed in a shooting. The friendโs uncle paid for studio time for him. He put out his first mixtape, The Slaughter Tape, which got good reviews.
He was in XXLโs Freshman Class, a group of up-and-coming hip-hop stars, in 2016. In 2016, he got his big break when he put out the mixtape Savage Mode, which he worked on with Metro Boomin.
It did well with critics and customers, which led to a deal with Epic Records. His second studio record, I Am > I Was (2018), went straight to the top of the Billboard 200 when it came out.
Big names in the business, like Drake, J. Cole, Young Thug, and Gucci Mane, have worked with him. Award for Best Rap Song goes to 21 Savage for โA Lot (2020).โ
