Notably, Nigerian fans have drawn parallels between the greetings exchanged in the video and those commonly used by Ifa traditionalists. In 2021, 21 Savage revealed that he practiced Ifa and had done so since childhood, adding another layer of intrigue to the situation.
Hailing from Atlanta, 21 Savage has made significant waves in the music industry with his distinctive style and collaborations. His partnership with Burna Boy on the 2023 hit song “Sittin’ on Top of the World” garnered widespread acclaim, earning him a nomination for Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 2024 Grammy Awards.
Moreover, 21 Savage made history at the same awards show with his debut performance on the Grammy stage alongside Burna Boy and Brandy. Their performance, creatively directed by renowned dancer and music director Fatimah Robinson, marked a groundbreaking moment as the first time an Afrobeats artist had performed at the Grammy Awards.
While the conversation in Yoruba during Adin Ross’s live stream remains a mystery, it’s evident that 21 Savage continues to make strides in the music industry and break barriers with his collaborations. Fans can anticipate more exciting projects from the rapper in the future.
