Lil Wayne recently shared a humorous story about a mix-up he had when first hearing about 21 Savage. The legendary rapper confessed that when he initially came across the name “21 Savage,” he genuinely thought it referred to a group of 21 rappers rather than a single artist. Wayne’s first impression was that it was some sort of collective, and the idea of 21 rappers performing together seemed both intriguing and overwhelming to him.
It wasn’t until Wayne dug deeper into the music scene that he realized his mistake. Upon discovering that 21 Savage was, in fact, just one man, Wayne couldn’t help but laugh at his own misunderstanding. He was both surprised and amused by how a name could be so misleading yet memorable, proving just how creative and unconventional the world of hip-hop can be.
This lighthearted anecdote adds to the many stories that make Lil Wayne such an endearing figure in the industry. His ability to laugh at himself and share these moments with fans shows a down-to-earth side to the legendary rapper. It also highlights the uniqueness of 21 Savage’s name, which has clearly made a lasting impression even on veterans like Lil Wayne.
