21 Savage and Drake pulled off an extravagant fake media press run around the November release of their collaborative album, Her Loss, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Part of the faux blitz was a staged Howard Stern interview, during which Savage declared he “might be the greatest rapper from my country.” Savage was referencing England, where he was born and lived until immigrating to the US at seven years old . But Savage grew up in Atlanta, and his bond with the city is stronger than ever.

Billy Mitchell, a Georgia State Representative, took time during the holiday occasion to officially declare December 21st as “21 Savage Day.” The two also posed for a photo along with a signed certificate.
Proving to be a busy year for the rapper, 21 Savage dropped Her Loss in November, the popular joint mixtape with Drake. The album quickly snagged the number one spot on the Billboard 200 album chart and went viral with hits like “Rich Flex.”
