21 Savage has come to Drake's defense over his line in their song "Circo Loco" where he disses Megan Thee Stallion.
"This bitch lie about getting shots, but she still a stallion / She don’t even get the joke, but she still smiling," says Drake in the cut, a clear reference to Tory Lanez shooting her in 2020.
But Savage said the line is harmless and it's more playful than anything else.
"I don’t feel like that was his intention [to diss Megan],"he said during a Rolling Stone interview. "That bar was more of, like, a joke bar than him trying to say something about her. But I don’t really like speaking on people’s situations because life be real."
Megan didn't take the line as a joke, though, based on her response.
“Stop using my shooting for clout bitch ass n*ggas!" she tweeted right after the song came out. "Since when tf is it cool to joke abt women getting shot ! You n*ggas especially RAP N*GGAS ARE LAME! Ready to boycott bout shoes and clothes but dog pile on a black woman when she say one of y’all homeboys abused her."
