slang term highly popularized by rapper, 21 savage. While describing his forehead
tattoo in an interview 21 used "Issa" to say "it's a". 21 has lived a rough life through gangs and danger. He has witnessed his best friends
death and has been stabbed. This is what provoked his decision to
get a tattoo of a knife on his foreheads. Fans thought the tattoo was a cross but weren't sure so it stroked media. 21 was then asked what the tattoo was and simply said, "Issa knife." After this going public
meme pages made
fun of 21 and showed no mercy. 21 has lived most of his career getting made
fun of because of his past, getting made
fun of was no big deal. 21 savage remained insulted because the tattoo had a deep meaning to him and fans made
fun of it. He then went to create an album named "Issa" and made light of the situation. The album Issa is the rappers most successful album to date. Let's just say 21 won with "Issa".
