21 Savage Believes His Music “Kind Of” Played A Part Of His ICE Detainment. Speaks On Grammys, Memes, And More

21 Savage has clearly been going through a lot regarding his ICE detainment. Rumors have been circulating, but thanks to updates from his legal and PR team, the facts were reported.

Savage gave an interview with New York Times on his side and thoughts following being released on a bond. One of the things in questions was the memes that floated around. Demi Lovato was attacked on social media after laughing at the memes in question.

“Some of them was funny,” Savage began. “I ain’t gonna lie. I was appreciative of that. I coulda been another person who just, “He locked up? Damn,” and nobody said nothing. Some people, I see why they was mad. It ain’t about the meme, it’s about the bigger picture. But I done been through way worse things in my life than somebody putting me on a meme. I been shot — what is a meme? “

Despite what has happened, and pending a possible deportation, Savage still feels he has a responsibility to speak out. ” I represent poor black Americans and I represent poor immigrant Americans. You gotta think about all the millions of people that ain’t 21 Savage that’s in 21 Savage shoes.”

Savage also spoke on his music possibly shedding a light onto him. With his latest singe, “a lot” with J. Cole, touches on Immigration, Flint’s water crisis, growth, and more. “I feel like me putting it into music got me in this situation, kind of.”
