The song is from the 2017 album 'Without Warning' by 21 Savage, Metro Boomin, and Offset. Gragson wrote:
"21 is the goat"
21 Savage, worth $16 million (according to Celebrity Net Worth), is a popular hip-hop artist with 11 Grammy nominations and one win for the song "A Lot".

With Stewart-Haas Racing ending its operations at the end of this season, Gragson will join Front Row Motorsports on a multi-year deal starting in 2025.
"I like how fast-paced things are" - Noah Gragson on what he likes about Las Vegas, his hometown
In an interview with The Athletic earlier this Month, Noah Gragson answered 12 questions about himself.
When asked what he liked about growing up in Las Vegas, he listed the fun things he liked to do around the city like mountain biking, snowboarding, and off-roading. Gragson added that he enjoyed the fast pace of the city.
"I like how fast-paced things are. That was the biggest difference in moving to North Carolina. When I was racing Trucks, we’d land on a Friday night and it would be 2 am and I’d be like, 'Alright, I’m gonna go stop by a fast-food restaurant or gas station.' And then they’re all closed. I’m like, 'This is weird.' Or it’d be 10 pm on a weekday and I’d be like, 'I’m gonna go get something to eat,' and everything’s closed," Gragson said.
The 26-year-old also shared that his favorite race was the 2021 Roval where he raced against Chase Briscoe and AJ Allmendinger in the rain.
Gragson debuted in the NASCAR Xfinity Series with Joe Gibbs Racing in 2018 at Richmond Raceway. He switched to JR Motorsports the next year and made it to the playoffs. In his third season with the team in 2021, he won several races, reached the Championship Four, and finished third overall.
Gragson registered 13 wins and 2 pole positions in the Xfinity series in 137 races over 7 years.
