The rapper, songwriter, and record producer that is 21 Savage recently fell into a whole word of trouble after the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained him to due to a lapse in his citizenship’s legal status that seemingly occurred, reportedly through no fault of his own, after he visited the U.K. back in 2005.
However, since then 9 days have passed and during them, 21’s legal team has been working with ICE in order to work out exactly where he stands legally, consequently the law firm was able to take to Facebook to say that “21 Savage was granted a release on bond. He won his freedom.”
Reportedly, the figure he is paying is around $100,000 but we’re sure he would do it in an instant to put this ordeal behind him. Take a look at his team’s full statement below:
For the past 9 long days, we, on behalf of She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, known to the world as 21 Savage, have been speaking with ICE to both clarify his actual legal standing, his eligibility for bond, and provide evidence of his extraordinary contributions to his community and society.
In the last 24 hours, in the wake of the Grammy Awards at which he was scheduled to attend and perform, we received notice that She’yaa was granted an expedited hearing.
Today, 21 Savage was granted a release on bond. He won his freedom.
21 Savage asked us to send a special message to his fans and supporters—he says that while he wasn’t present at the Grammy Awards, he was there in spirit and is grateful for the support from around the world and is more than ever, ready to be with his loved ones and continue making music that brings people together.
He will not forget this ordeal or any of the other fathers, sons, family members, and faceless people, he was locked up with or that remain unjustly incarcerated across the country. And he asks for your hearts and minds to be with them.
