21 Savage Responds to Backlash Over Tweet About Women
Early Friday morning, rapper 21 Savage sent out the following tweet:
I work so hard I feel like the ladies supppsed to fuck me and let me do my thing it’s mandatory you please me for all this hard work baby !

This caused a stir because some felt the tweet carried rape connotations—a message of, I produce good work, so you should do what I want sexually.
21 Savage heard from plenty of people who were upset with the tweet:
He responded Friday night with a series of tweets attempting to clarify what he was saying.

21 Savage considered the backlash a result of people misunderstanding and twisting his words. Though he may continue to hear it from people upset with his tweet, it doesn’t seem Savage is planning on retracting it anytime soon.
