After his Katt Williams interview went viral Shape is back showing a different side of his talent. 21 Savage stopped by Club Shay Shay to talk about his life migrating from England, getting shot six times, people being envious of his ties to Drake and more.

At one point during the unconventional chat, 21 told Sharpe details about his childhood, and according to Complex, the duo went back to 21’s elementary school years when he won his school’s Spelling Bee.

“I was an excellent student up until a certain grade,” said 21. “We was just talking about this last night. We was playing the game, and they was like, ‘Spell Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,’ and it was crazy cause I won the spelling bee in fifth grade spelling that same word. And I won the math competition that same year.”

He continued,

“So I used to get all A’s, but like up until a certain point. I feel like when I found out like really just realized like no matter how good I do in school, I can’t go to college because I’m an immigrant. I can’t get a job, I can’t get a driver’s license. I feel like once that started to kick in, I kinda just gave up and just stopped caring. I used to go to school fall asleep in class like just do all types of sh*t.”

21 Savage’s Club Shay Shay interview marks his first sitdown since becoming a US citizen and after he visited London for the first time in 18 years. Savage told the NFL Hall of Famer that his visit unlocked childhood memories he didn’t even realize he still had.

“I remember, like, small things but not a lot,” said 21. “Like, little small things like going to my grandma’s house or being with my momma. I remember going to the stores across the street. … I remember more from when we back and visited because we went back once to visit when I was a little older.”
