Rapper 21 Savage is mourning the death of his younger brother, Terrell Davis, who passed away last Sunday following an altercation with a friend.
What We Know:
- According to the Daily Mail, Terrell Davis – who performed under the stage name TM1way – was stabbed to death on the Blenheim Gardens estate in a district of south London called Brixton. A family source told the Daily Mail that Davis was delivering things to his grandmother when he got into an argument with an old friend that resulted in his death. He was pronounced dead at the scene at just 27 years old.
- 21 Savage, born She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, paid tribute to Davis on Monday via Instagram. The Grammy award-winning rapper posted a throwback photo from his childhood, and other photos of Davis captioned, “can’t believe somebody took you baby bro I know I took my anger out on you I wish I could take that shit back.”
- Among four brothers and six sisters, this is not the first time that 21 Savage has lost a sibling. The rapper also lost his brother, Quantivayus Joseph, who was shot and killed in a botched drug deal. In a 2016 interview with The Fader, Savage explained that the famous dagger tattoo on his face was in honor of his late sibling.
- London’s Met Police have not made any arrests in regards to Davis’s death. The Blenheim Gardens estate remains a crime scene as officers continue their investigation.
We send 21 Savage and his family our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
