21 Savage rose from an immigrant to the United States to a platinum-selling, award-winning recording artist.
The London-born, Atlanta-raised rapper received special recognition for his global impact. Earlier this week, TIME Magazine included 21 Savage on its annual 100 Most Influential People list for 2024. Nigerian singer-songwriter and fellow selection Burna Boy wrote about the Slaughter Gang leader for the century-old magazine. Burna Boy and 21 Savage collaborated on “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” and “Just Like Me” featuring Metro Boomin. The latter lives on 21 Savage’s 2024 studio LP American Dream, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with more than 133,000 first-week units.
