Rapper 6ix9ine reignited his long-running feud with 21 Savage after releasing a theatrical viral skit mocking Savage’s British origins.

The clip, shared on December 12, shows 6ix9ine dressed in a vintage British naval uniform, sipping tea in a tropical setting as he imitates stereotypical British mannerisms.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The video was a direct response to 21 Savage’s recent remarks on the Perspectives with Big Bank podcast, where the Atlanta-based rapper criticized unnamed artists who had “cooperated” with law enforcement and faced backlash for it. Although 21 Savage did not reference anyone directly, the comments were widely interpreted as a jab at 6ix9ine, who has long dealt with accusations of being a “snitch” following his cooperation in a 2018 federal racketeering case.

In the skit, 6ix9ine leans heavily into meme culture, referencing Savage’s UK background—publicly revealed in 2019 after Savage was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He captioned the video with statements encouraging pride in heritage while simultaneously mocking Savage’s birthplace and reigniting jokes that resurfaced during the 2019 incident.

The tension between the two artists dates back several years, notably intensifying during a heated 2021 Clubhouse debate moderated by Wack 100, where both rappers argued over loyalty and authenticity in hip-hop.

The latest exchange comes as 6ix9ine faces renewed legal trouble. In December 2025, a federal judge sentenced him to three months in prison for violating the terms of his supervised release, citing drug possession and involvement in a physical altercation. He is scheduled to report to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn in early January 2026.
