21 Savage is a chart-topping rapper known for his ability to flip murderous street lyrics into enjoyable club bangers. The artist, who was born in London before immigrating to Atlanta, Georgia in his youth, has amassed millions of fans in the brief time since he came on the scene, and has been listed among the world’s highest-paid rappers at numerous points in his career. Today, 21 Savage holds an estimated $16 million in net worth according to Celebrity Net Worth . While these figures are quite impressive, Savage has made it clear that he still has plenty of room to grow as an exciting young artist.

Nicki Minaj has been confirmed as a playable character in “Call of Duty.”

When Drake asks 21 Savage to hit a rich flex in the opening song of their joint album “Her Loss,” he’s alluding to the lavish grandstanding among those in a particular tax bracket. From iced-out jewelry to designer apparel, there is no shortage of people flexing on the gram, enjoying the things their hard work has afforded them. However, not everyone chooses to celebrate their wealth the same way. NBA player Herbert Jones keeps it lowkey and saves money in the process.

What was meant to be a little joke to promote their collaboration album just might cost Drake and 21 Savage. According to The Guardian, the rappers have officially been sued by Vogue publisher Condé Nast for reportedly using the magazine’s name without permission to promote their “Her Loss” album.

Reclaiming master recordings is a celebratory moment for every artist. The feat empowers artists by reclaiming ownership of what is rightfully theirs as they now own the copyrights to the original sound recordings of their favorite tunes. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, “‘By definition, that makes it the most authentic superior sonic account of the song.'” Not only that but owning one’s masters can be the stepping stone to creating wealth for future generations, thanks to royalties earned each time a song is played or duplicated. Although there is no fine print to the accomplishment, artists including Anita Baker, Rihanna, and Frank Ocean, have used their voices to earn back their master recordings.

Artists not being expected to pay for features isn’t the typical narrative that’s heard of in the industry. When it comes to rap stars 21 Savage and Drake, it appears that there’s reportedly no money talk when music is involved.

21 Savage is now a tech investor. According to TechCrunch, the rapper has invested in the seed round of Sound.xyz, a platform that aims to help artists get money through (non-fungible tokes) NFTs. The seed funding round totaled $5 million in capital influx. “Sound.xyz is a new startup looking to help recording artists monetize their community through NFTs, as the startup looks to build out a suite of tools designed to bring musicians into the so-called ‘web3’ fold,” reports the outlet. “The startup released its first product earlier this month, Listening Parties, which enable artists to sell NFTs tagged to the release of new songs.” While he’s on board with the new startup’s mission, 21 Savage investing in a tech business isn’t surprising. In 2018, the rapper said he was through with blowing his money on things like jewelry and cars.

If working smarter and not harder were a person, it could very well be 21 Savage. The rapper, born Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, hit the music industry with his late 2014 hit “Picky” featured on the 2015 mixtape, “The Slaughter Tape,” and continues to be a force in the game.

Today, he continues to lead the charge as one of the few artists who own the rights to his masters. During a recent appearance on Gillie Da King and Wallo’s “Million Dollaz Worth Of Game” podcast, he explains how owning the rights to his music has proven to be very lucrative for his career.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by KING GILLIE (@gillie_da_king)
