When Will 21 Savage Be In ‘Modern Warfare 2?’
21 Savage‘s discography contains plenty of gun talk, but soon, fans will be able to put his gunplay wordplay to the test — virtually — when he joins Call Of Duty‘s growing list of “operators” inspired by real-life rap heroes. Last year, Snoop Dogg was the first to enter the game series, while earlier this year, Nicki Minaj joined in after featuring in a recent ad for the games (toting a pink assault rifle, no less — shout-out to the “Blick Blick” video).
The London/Atlanta rapper is slated to arrive in the next DLC bundle, Season 05 Reloaded, for Modern Warfare II and Warzone. The bundle is slated to drop on August 30 at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET across all platforms. According to Call Of Duty‘s official blog, the drop includes a new Resurgence experience, a new Multiplayer map, additional DMZ missions, and other content that will carry forward to the next game in the series, Modern Warfare III.
21 Savage voices himself in the game, of course, and his abilities and Weapon Blueprints all take tongue-in-cheek inspiration from his lyrics. For example, his preferred Secondary Weapon is a knife — you know, like his tattoo or his “Knife Talk” single with Drake — while his Finishing Move is called “Stabbed . . . a Lot.” You can grab the bundle, which includes vehicle skins, stickers, and other odds and ends, with the rest of the DLC on 8/30.
Travis Scott Is Rumored To Replace 21 Savage On Drake’s ‘It’s All A Blur Tour’ For A Few Selected Shows
Drake is still hard at work cooking up his forthcoming solo album, For All The Dogs. With his It’s All A Blur Tour slowly coming to an end, he will have more time to dedicate to it. But with only a few dates remaining, Drake wants to shake things on the road up a bit. According to rumors that resurfaced online yesterday (August 28) after his previously scheduled concert in Vancouver, Canada, was postponed, fans believe Travis Scott will be stepping in for a few selected shows.
The whispers on social media allege that Scott will replace 21 Savage for both remaining Canada shows both today (August 29) and tomorrow’s (August 30) rescheduled day. In photos shared to X (formerly Twitter), the new tour graphics featured a collage of images featuring the “KPop” rapper.

This wouldn’t mark the first time in the tour’s stops in Canada that 21 Savage was replaced. Back on July 14 and 15, J. Cole made a surprise appearance at the Canada Bell Centre in Montreal to step in for Savage during his notable absence.
View the remaining tour dates below.
8/29 – Vancouver, BC @ Rogers Arena

Travis Scott Might Replace 21 Savage On Canadian Dates Of “It’s All A Blur” Drake Tour
In the city of Vancouver, there’s currently a lot of disappointment floating through the air, but also a lot of excitement. Moreover, the “It’s All A Blur” tour with Drake and 21 Savage recently had to postpone its Monday, August 28 date to Wednesday (August 30) due to technical and safety difficulties in the stadium. Not only that, but the Atlanta MC is unable to attend the Canadian dates of this tour due to ongoing legal trouble with immigration law that he continues to battle. However, based on some eagle-eyed air traffic scouting and tour promo at the venue, it looks like the 6 God found a solution for his treacherous twin’s absence.
Fans think that none other than Travis Scott is taking the stage in 21’s stead. Furthermore, this is because apparently La Flame’s jet landed in Vancouver recently (unconfirmed social media hearsay) and a picture of him was shown in tour promo for the night. With an August 29 date also on the cards, it’s possible that Travis Scott brings a lot of heat to this leg of the “It’s All A Blur” tour. After all, between his collabs with both Drake and 21 Savage, there’s a lot of fan-favorite material to celebrate.

Fans Speculate That Travis Scott Will Perform With Drake For Canadian Tour Stops
In fact, there’s also a lot of new ground to cover. For example, the three MCs have a collab on Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss: “P***y and Millions.” In addition, the touring spitters also appear on Travis Scott’s new album UTOPIA. The Houston creative and Drizzy make fireworks on “MELTDOWN,” whereas the Slaughter Gang head honcho features on the project twice. One is the energetic track “TOPIA TWINS” alongside Rob49, and the other is the gorgeous “TIL FURTHER NOTICE” with James Blake.
Meanwhile, all this speculation drove fans wild on social media, and the show’s postponement means that there’s an extra 24 hours to speculate. Given the hype behind all these artists, this could make for a really special moment. It’s a shame that 21 apparently won’t be there to enjoy his time. Still, we’re sure that Travis, if he comes out, will bring something new an electrifying to the table. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest on Travis Scott, 21 Savage, and Drake.

21 Savage Shoved A Fan Lunging Toward His Face During His And Drake’s ‘It’s All A Blur Tour’ Show
Drake and 21 Savage’s It’s All A Blur Tour is aptly named. Drake likely has whiplash from all the bras he’s fielded every night, except for when his son, Adonis, attended a Kia Forum show in Inglewood, California, and mostly welcomes spontaneous crowd interactions.
Meanwhile, 21 Savage was caught off guard when he and Drake staged two It’s All A Blur Tour shows at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington over the weekend. A video circulating on X (formerly known as Twitter) shows 21 flanked by security while walking through the audience. Still, one woman managed to get her hands on his face, and he reacted by shoving her.

A fan similarly reached out to grab Drake’s neck during his jaunt through the crowd — it’s unclear if both instances happened during the same Seattle show — and he lightly brushed her arm away with a smile on his face.

The It’s All A Blur Tour will next visit Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC on Monday, August 28, and Tuesday, August 29 before hitting Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena on September 1 and 2. The North American leg is scheduled to stretch into October, wrapping with back-to-back shows in Drake’s native Toronto on October 6 and 7 before the grand finale in Columbus, Ohio on October 9. See all of the remaining dates here.
Fans are awaiting Drake’s release of his For All The Dogs album, which he’s been teasing for the duration for the tour. Most recently, in Seattle, Drake confirmed (again) that the album is “coming soon.”
“It’s not going to be that much longer, trust me. I’m finishing it up. You know I’ve got shows every night. But I promise you, For All The Dogs is on the way,” he said.
Usher, Summer Walker, And 21 Savage Accept A Relationship’s End In Their ‘Good Good’ Video
It’s all “Good Good” in the hood in Usher‘s latest video, which finds him teaming up with fellow ATLiens 21 Savage and Summer Walker for a nostalgic ballad about remaining friends after a relationship ends. “Usually my exes turn to enemies,” Usher croons in his verse, “But this is different / ‘Cause we don’ got closer now that you ain’t with me.” Summer, meanwhile, wishes her ex “good sex and good sleep,” while 21 jokes that he’ll still “have you grabbing them sheets” while offering to “help pay for the wigs and I help with the lease.”
The video itself opens with the three artists standing on a bridge overlooking the highway with the city’s downtown skyline as a backdrop. Usher, dressed in a classic Atlanta fit — a baggy sweatsuit, complete with a wave cap, chains, and gold teeth — does his choreo solo while the scene around him changes from day to night and back (he also dances in a waistcoat, which is some wild styling, even for him). Walker lounges in a well-appointed hotel room in her scenes, bedecked in a bathrobe (with matching slippers!) and a headwrap. For his part, 21 Savage eats solo at a restaurant with a mirror image of himself, each side chowing down on a seafood meal representing his rags-to-riches status.
Watch the video for “Good Good” above.

Drake’s ‘It’s All A Blur Tour’ Reported Earnings Are Just As Massive As The Bras He Receives Onstage
When he’s not dodging random items tossed at him on stage, Drake is being buried with massive bras at each stop of the It’s All A Blur Tour. Despite the tour’s rough start, including accusations by fans that Ticketmaster price gouged tickets and reported logistical issues that caused the Memphis date to be canceled, it’s one of the most sought-after tickets for a rap performance.

Although Drake has a long way to catch up with Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour or Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour, Drake is undoubtedly leading the way for rap acts—the perfect way to commemorate the genre’s 50th anniversary.
