21 Savage took it back to the early 2000s for his birthday party by dressing as Snoop Dogg’s character from Baby Boy 😭🔥

The celebration had a ’90s/2000s R&B theme, and he pulled his costume inspiration straight from a movie of that era.
Released in 2001, Baby Boy was written and directed by John Singleton and starred Tyrese Gibson as Jody alongside Taraji P. Henson as Yvette. Snoop played Rodney, Yvette’s ex-boyfriend, whose arrival creates tension in Jody’s already complicated life. The cast also included Ving Rhames and Omar Gooding.
The film follows Jody as he struggles with relationships, responsibility and growing up in South Central Los Angeles. It also marked Tyrese’s feature-film debut, making it a fitting reference for a party celebrating the music and culture of that period.
With his birthday coming up on October 22, 21 is getting the celebrations started early. Born in 1992, he turns 34 this year and chose to bring a little Snoop Dogg nostalgia into the occasion. 🎂
A ’90s/2000s R&B party gives you plenty of options for a throwback look, but going as Rodney is a specific reference 😂👏 How’d he do with the costume?
