'Need this kind of positivity': Fans rejoice as Nas and 21 Savage quash feud with collab ‘One Mic, One Gun'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Nas and 21 Savage have collaborated and their fans are rejoicing it. The team-up comes after a short beef which was mainly one-sided. The track is titled 'One Mic, One Gun' referring to Nas' 2001 'Stillmatic' single 'One Mic', and the latest one is produced by the industry's favorite Hit-Boy.
The 'Queens' legend posted the cover art of the track on his Instagram saying, "Only way we moving is with love, respect and unity." The beef mainly appeared to be one-sided and it all began when 21 Savage, during a Clubhouse conversation said, "I don’t feel like he’s relevant. I just feel like he got a loyal fan base. He still makes good music." When another participant in the room asked the 30-year-old rapper to define relevancy in his own words, he said, "Mostly connected or appropriate to what’s being done to be considered." Savage later took his comments back and clarified, "I would never disrespect Nas or any legend who paved the way for me y’all be tryna take stuff and run with it." Now that the misunderstanding is clear, fans cannot thank 21 Savage and Nas enough for handling the situation with maturity.

Another user tweeted, "21 Savage and Nas setting an example of how 'rap beef' should be handled. Instead of letting a situation turn bad they sat down like men, had a conversation and turned it into art. We need more of this within the culture."
