The Celebrity All-Star Game will be interesting this year.

At this point in his career, 21 Savage is one of the biggest artists in hip-hop. Overall, he is beloved by fans, and his growth over the past few years has been stunning to watch. Additionally, his efforts on Drake's Her Loss project have kept him busy. He is embarking on a tour with Drake, and it is certainly going to be a whole lot of fun. If you are a fan of the artist, you can't help but be excited by what he is producing. He continues to get better and better, and we're sure that will continue to be the case as time goes on.

In addition to his rap interests, 21 has proven himself to be a sports fan. Occasionally, he competes in some friendly games of basketball, and overall, he has improved his game over the years. One could perhaps attribute this to Drake, who is constantly improving his own basketball skills. Either way, the artist is now getting ready to showcase these skills as part of NBA All-Star Weekend. Yes, that's right, 21 is going to be in the celebrity game.
