21 Savage, Nas End Beef With Surprise Collab Song 'One Mic, One Gun'

A couple of weeks ago, 21 Savage called Nas irrelevant, which caused quite an uproar among the hip-hop community and its fans.

However, it seems like the two have buried the hatchet and reportedly decided to move on from the past to show "love, respect, and unity" through their surprise collab song, "One Mic, One Gun."

According to reports, the song is not only about the aforementioned themes, but it is also about the rappers' successful careers and their legacy.

Nas raps: "Whatever I do is N.Y., I'm keepin' it Queens 'cause that's my side (What up?)/ I shook up the town, I shook up the city, I shook up the state/ I'm with 21 on my second run, this s-t come with age."

21 Savage on the other hand addressed his controversial statement by rapping: "When you turn to legend, no such thing as relevance."

Irrelevant?

The powerful collab comes after 21 Savage's comments about Nas after the release of his joint album with Hit-Boy, "King's Disease III."

During a Clubhouse chat, he questioned Nas' relevance and claimed that the rapper did not have "ride-or-die" fans who go as far back as his 1994 debut, TMZ reports.

"I don't feel like he's relevant. I just feel like he got fans. ... He's not relevant. He just has a loyal-ass fan base, and he still make good-a** music."

Fellow rappers did not appreciate 21 Savage's claims and addressed the issue. One of them was Hit-Boy, Nas' frequent collaborator.

"How do you look at a Black Hip-Hop artist, legendary guy, who just won his first Grammy a couple years ago, right...just put out four critically-acclaimed albums," Hit-Boy said.

Fivio Foreign also supported Nas, saying, "That n***a Nas did too much...to be disrespected like that. That's the goat where I'm from. And I was just on his album, he just got a Grammy for the album I just was on."

However, despite the "disrespect," it seems like the pair have talked it through to come to an understanding.

Nas also took to Instagram to clear up the truce, if it was not obvious yet, "Only way we moving is with love, respect, and unity. The foundational principles of hip hop. Excited to collaborate with my young brother and I hope more artists use turbulent moments and turn them into a time to make new art. That's what it's about."
