Ryan Garcia has some words for 21 Savage after he walked Devin Haney out during their fight over the weekend.
Garcia took a victory over Haney this weekend with a score of 112-112, 114-110 and 115-109. Although Garcia did win, the WBC super lightweight title still belongs to Haney as Garcia was 3.2 pounds over the 140-pound limit at Friday’s weigh-in.
“I don’t give a f*** what people say about me. I walked through the fire and still held it down and still beat f***ing Devin Haney and still drink every day,” said Garcia. “Not necessarily am I proud of that, but I’m just saying it was a statement to show you, you guys can’t really f*** with me.”
“I’m disappointed about my performance,” said Haney during his post-fight interview. “I [showed I] was a true champion and I could fight after being knocked down.”
As far as 21 Savage goes, Garcia had some choice words for him. “This proves 21 ain’t no savage,” he wrote.
Garcia may be the only one who feels this way about 21 Savage as he was just named TIME‘s 100 Most Influential People. He was the only rapper to make the list.
Burns Boy, who too made the list, wrote the blurb on Savage which reads, “I trust my gut when it comes to my music and collaborations, and I find myself naturally drawn to artists like 21 Savage. Burns says. “Those who remain grounded in their convictions and consistently defy the constraints imposed upon them.”
It continued: “Like 21, I know what it’s like to rise above challenging beginnings, and it makes his success all that much more remarkable throughout his work.
