Freaknik organizers have threatened to sue 21 Savage for using the festival as the theme of his 29th birthday party.

Im from ATL I know what Freaknik really suppose to be at heart and it wasnt about charging people it was about a vibe and that FREE vibe brought money into the city for everyone Stone Mound Meezy (@MEGAMEEZY) October 25, 2021 After initially calling out 21 Savage on Twitter, Freaknik organizers explained their reasons for being upset in an Instagram post. The team felt it was protecting the brand, which was defunct for two decades until it relaunchedin 2019. The Freaknik team said they offered to license the name for 21 Savages birthday party, but their proposal was rejected. They also claimed Meezy lied to them about changing the events name. @21savage and @megameezy event was another level, they wrote. Super dope also so congrats to @mshannahkang for the dope layout, but that event was a smack in our face to all the hardwork we put in. We said we will give you license for FREE and was gonna ask to make sure it has a nonprofit presence there. They said no. The post continued, I didnt want this smokeagain we said man put on for the city just acknowledge us and we will give you the license FREE. Meezy said he would just change the name. He didnt and here we are. Damn why black folks gotta fight all the time instead of working together. Read Freakniks full explanation below. Read more
