In an interview with DJ Akademiks, 21 Savage said he wouldn't be listening to Drake's music if he was on the streets and not a rapper

"N*ggas don't be listening to Drake like that," 21 said. "If I wasn't a rapper, I don't feel like I still would listen to Drake, for real. It's just I'm a rapper, so I understand the work he put in, how hard he go.

"Like when you ain't no rapper, all them statistics don't mean sh*t.  "A regular street n*gga don't give a fuck about how many times you went number one, like how many white people listen to your sh*t because they don't even think. The farthest they think is the club. Who's selling this club out?"

He also suggested Future is bigger than Drake, from a certain perspective.

"That's who they think is the biggest n*gga In Atlanta, it's a lot of n*ggas who you really can't tell them Future ain't bigger than Drake. I used to think that."

After some outlets reported that Savage -- who's career has benefitted from multiple Drake stimulus packages -- had said Future was bigger than Drake in Atlanta, 21 clarified.
