21 Savage is being accused of cheating after a gambling stream with Adin Ross resulted in the latter noticing certain cards in the deck had been marked.
21 Savage has found himself in hot water after viewers accused the rapper of cheating during a gambling stream with Adin Ross on Kick.
The two got together on February 2 with plans to put down some significant wagers during a card game, but things took a turn after viewers spotted Savage seemingly up to no good.
Savage was down $400,000 when fans in the chat took note of the rapper picking what appeared to be a marked card while Ross was turned away, winning himself $250,000. The chat quickly alerted Ross of the rapper’s suspicious success, with the streamer then announcing that the face cards in the game had all been marked.

“They’re scratched, bro. Right there is a little scratch. They’re marked, bro. These are marked, look,” Ross said, a revelation that seemingly left Savage surprised and insistent that the streamer was “tripping.”
“Man, get the f*** out of here,” Savage responded. However, Ross showed the marked cards on stream, revealing the face cards had all been scratched for easy identification.

The pair agreed to call off the wager and although Ross stressed that the cards didn’t belong to Savage, fans have been insistent that the cheating was intentional. Many have since slammed Savage for his “dumb” antics, pointing to the fact that the cheating occurred on camera.
“That was so embarrassing, it was bad enough that he was pulling like [six] face cards in a row (okay freak odds happen) but then when his buddy very quickly tapped a card for his blind ass in such a meek frigid movement I knew then,” one person wrote.

There are some though who aren’t convinced the stream wasn’t scripted, taking to Reddit to suggest Ross and Savage planned the scandal for extra views. One person wrote, “This is just [two] dudes with double-digit IQ’s thinking they’re slick.”
Savage has yet to publicly respond to the allegations, despite a fake screenshot circulating online claiming to show a deleted Instagram story from the rapper. We’ll be sure to update this space as more details emerge.
