About
21, Can You Do Something For Me?, alternatively written 21, Can You Do Sum For Me? and also known as Drake and 21 Savage in the Studio or Do Your Thing, 21, refers to lyrics from Drake and 21 Savage's song "Rich Flex" from their collab album Her Loss, which released in November 2022. The song and Drake's verse were used in memes on TikTok, Twitter and elsewhere in relation to some perceiving Drake sounding feminine or gay with his delivery, which was reminiscent of both BBL Drake and Drake the Type Of Guy memes. Drake's verse continued, "Can you talk to the opps necks for me? 21, do your thing 21, do your thing. Do your thing, 21."
