The singer tweeted out his excitement about the collab taking the top spot over one of the most in-demand rappers. His appearance comes under his rap monicker Felony Steve which he used in 2017 for a strange new hip-hop mixtape.
“YALL I RAPPED ON AN ALBUM WITH MY FRIENDS THAT COST $0 TO MAKE AND WE GOT #1 OVER GODDAMN GUCCI MANE ON HIS OWN RELEASE DAY I AM FUCKING LAUGHING SO HARD HELP” the caption reads.

The EP is also currently sitting at No. 7 on the overall Top Albums chart. It still sits at No. 1 over Gucci Mane on Hip-Hop/Rap at the time of publication.
As a result, Lil Phag is having some fun with the situation. The rapper tweeted at Victoria Justice trying to get her support due to Knight’s reference to her in his verse.
“hey @VictoriaJustice i know my friend @awsten constantly annoys you as a joke but he wrote a verse about u on the currently #1 rap album in America and the UK if u wanna take a listen (it’s track 1, last verse)” the caption reads.
