21 Savage Pays Tribute To The 90s And Channels Jodeci at His 8th Annual Birthday Party

A look at fan footage circulating on social media shows that 21 Savage had a great time at his 8th annual birthday celebration over the weekend, continuing a tradition now popular in Atlanta. Every year, the Grammy Award-winning rapper transforms his birthday into an extravagant celebration, and 2025 was no exception, adopting a full-on ’90s theme.

This year’s edition paid tribute to “Showtime at the Apollo,” combining R&B nostalgia with the star power of Hip Hop’s current generation. According to XXL and other outlets, the event was preceded by flyers which featured 21 Savage’s face superimposed on the covers of iconic albums such as Aaliyah’s One In A Million, D’Angelo’s Brown Sugar, and Usher’s Confessions.

The evening was marked by a dynamic, performance-oriented ambiance, with 21 Savage’s live tribute to Jodeci serving as the night’s main attraction. He and his crew, clad in black leather vests and matching pants, resembled the quartet’s signature style before welcoming media personality Baby Jade to join them onstage. They led the crowd in a passionate performance of Jodeci’s 1994 hit “Feenin,” making it a venue-wide sing-along.

In addition to the main performances, the party also featured notable R&B acts Keyshia Cole, Xscape, and Keith Sweat, each of whom presented sets that significantly increased the event’s retro atmosphere. Xscape’s vocals on “Just Kickin’ It” were perfectly in sync with their choreographed dance routines, while other artists performed classic hits that sustained the nostalgic mood.
