21 Savage’s friends, family, fans, and supporters have rallied
together for the rapper’s freedom since his arrest on Super Bowl Sunday.
United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained the rapper
on claims that he was living in America on an expired visa. After a
week of fighting, TMZ reports that he finally posted bond and has been
released.
21 Savage’s lawyer issued a statement after the rapper’s release from
custody. Charles H. Kuck, Dina LaPolt and Alex Spiro said, “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 he’s grateful for the support from around the world and he’s
more than ever, ready to be with his loved ones and continue making
music that brings people together.”
The representative added, “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.”
The rapper’s arrest prevented him from appearing at the 2019 Grammy
awards where he was nominated for two awards. He was also expected to
take the stage with Post Malone for their song, “rockstar.”
It’s still unclear why 21 Savage was detained for so long but we’re hoping the outcome of his hearing is positive.
