We’ve seen 21 Savage do the unexpected; Like go Gold with his debut album, collaborate with Air Jordan on a sneaker line and hold down a high profile relationship with an infamous Instagram cougar.

But lately, we’ve been seeing the rapper challenge the status quo in much more impressive ways.

In February, the Savage Mode MC announced his plans to stop buying expensive jewelry in tweets that have since been deleted.

The plans included, “no longer wearing jewelry, buying houses, investing in businesses, cryptocurrency, and youth startups”, in hopes of sparking a positive trend among young rappers.

21 recently spoke with Vogue to detail how his lifestyle changes have been going.

“I stopped wearing jewelry for a couple reasons. One is because everybody wears jewelry and I outgrew it; I’m getting a little wiser and growing so,” said the Atlanta spitter.

He added, ”Another reason is because the richest people I’ve ever met in my life, they never had on jewelry. And ever since I’ve been saving money and not spending it on jewelry, I’ve been getting way richer.“

Flip the page for one local resident explain why she believes that despite his legal issues and raunchy lyrics, 21 Savage truly has a good heart.

Guest blogger and Atlanta native Elyse Nichelle remembers a story one of her student told her when 21 was still On the rise.

“Growing up in Atlanta myself, I’ve had friends who knew 21 before he was mainstream. At the time of his early rise, I was working with youth and asked one of my students about their favorite rappers. His response, “21 Savage, he’s a good dude, he bails my brother out of jail every time something happens no matter what.”

Elyse says, “That alone is a testament to the rapper’s true character.”
