21 Savage is opening up about Takeoff’s gentle nature following his tragic death.
During a recent interview, 21 Savage revealed that he had never seen his fellow Atlanta emcee upset or out of character. “Takeoff the type of n**ga, like, if I see Takeoff arguing with a n**ga, I know the other n**ga wrong,” he explained on Monday (Nov. 7). “Like automatically. [He’s] a man, he ain’t no b**ch… he just not confrontational. He in his own world. He wanna do what he do.”
Furthermore, he shared that Takeoff always showed love whenever they crossed paths. “He was not really in the way, in the mix for real,” 21 Savage continued. “He just [was] always in his own world. He really quiet for real unless he know you. He funny as hell though, but if he know you type s**t. I ain’t never seen that n**ga mad, had an attitude. I ain’t never seen him out of character. He always the exact same way every time I [saw] him. He’ll smile, dap you up. Mind his business bro.”
