On Thursday (Jan. 31), the mogul expressed his mutual respect for <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/21-savage-seemingly-tattooed-lattos-name-behind-his-ear">21 Savage</a> on Instagram, following the Atlanta rapper's paying respect to 50 Cent during his interview with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay. 21 Savage shared with Sharpe that 50 Cent&rsquo;s story inspired him to become a recording artist.&nbsp;

&nbsp;
&ldquo;50 Cent was a thousand percent [an inspiration],&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I looked up to him growing up too, &rsquo;cause he told his story more than a lot of other artists. He had a movie and all type of shit. So I knew his story a little more. I was inspired by his story.&rdquo;
As he previously described acts like <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/dababy-says-hes-done-drinking-after-throwing-up-in-front-of-his-daughter">DaBaby</a>, <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/nba-youngboy-seemingly-responds-after-fans-speculate-drake-dissed-him-on-new">NBA Youngboy</a>, and <a href="https://hot97.com/hot-news/pop-smokes-mother-brother-audrey-and-obasi-jackson-talks-grieving-foundation-event-for-mothers">Pop Smoke</a> as &ldquo;Lil 50 Cent,&rdquo; 50 shared a clip of 21 Savage talking about himself and praised 21 Savage's new song "Sneaky" as the hardest song out right now.&nbsp;
&ldquo;He got the hardest sh!t out right now,&rdquo; 50 Cent wrote in the Instagram caption. &ldquo;Track 5 Sneaky, stop playing for, start booming sh!t.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Sneaky&rdquo; appears on 21 Savage&rsquo;s third album, American Dream (Epic). The track is produced Coupe. 21 Savage&rsquo;s new album debuted at #1 and remained at the top for two consecutive weeks following its release on January 12.

In 2020, 21 Savage sampled 50 Cent's classic &ldquo;Many Men (Wish Death)&rdquo; on the song &ldquo;Many Men&rdquo; from the Metro Boomin&rsquo;-collaborated album Savage Mode II.
50 Cent&rsquo;s debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin&rsquo;, is arguably the best hip-hop album of the 2000s. Released in 2003, it sold over 12 million copies worldwide by the end of the year. The album includes smash hits &ldquo;In Da Club,&rdquo; &ldquo;21 Questions,&rdquo; and &ldquo;Wanksta.&rdquo;&nbsp;

Fans are eagerly waiting for Drake and 21 Savage's newest album Her Loss to drop this Friday. Champagne Papi may have dropped something to hold everyone over in the meantime. https://www.instagram.com/p/CkeQHhyj0EE/Although everyone seems to be excited about the NPR Tiny Desk teaser, it may all just be a farce. https://twitter.com/nprmusic/status/1587914869314969600?s=20&t=6N1K-uC7JG132ewGWIP2aANPR quote tweeted the clip of the Tiny Desk Concert, seemingly hinting at the fact that this is not a real concert. Which leaves both Drake and 21 Savage's fan bases very confused.Just a few short hours after the Tiny Desk Concert clip was posted, Drake posted a clip of him and 21 Savage being interviewed on The Howard Stern Show.https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckelnaoul4l/The rapper captioned the post "Absolutely NO filter with the incomparable <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sternshow/">@sternshow</a> 🥀 thanks for having us."According to the video, the interview was done October 26th, but there is no evidence online that it actually happened. This leaves speculations that these clips are a part of a roll out, either as promotion for the album or a new music video from the duo. Users on Twitter aren't too happy with the rappers, however.https://twitter.com/Iifeimmortality/status/1587922441572999168?s=20&t=Pr9nAhyCryP33WdtUY8LGAThe duo may have some explaining to do to the fans if answers aren't given soon! Drake has always been a genius at marketing his albums and this would not be the first time he had fans at the edge of their seats.
