Who says you can’t celebrate this past weekend’s ‘Saturday Night Live’ broadcast a cool 72 hours later, right? Turns out whenever rap heavyweight 21 Savage is involved, there’s an exception.
From appearing and performing anthems like ‘should’ve wore a bonnet / prove it’ with my favorite singer Brent Faiyaz and Summer Walker to his hard-hitting ‘redrum,’ it’s a celebration all over again. Happy Tuesday!
On Saturday night, Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum artist, and humanitarian, 21 Savage, made his debut solo appearance ‘Saturday Night Live’. ‘ Dressed in COUCOU BEBE, 21 started the show with a dynamic performance of the hit track "redrum". A skilled violinist, two ballet dancers, and two backup vocalists joined him on stage, further enhancing the experience. In a later portion of the show Savage was joined on stage by Brent Faiyaz to perform, "should've wore a bonnet", wearing a FEAR OF GOD leather ensemble. Summer Walker followed, contributing her signature style with a rendition of "prove it". As the night peaked, 21 Savage, Brent Faiyaz, and Summer Walker, alongside host and comedian Shane Gillis, and the entire SNL cast, united on stage for a cozy grand finale."
