According to reporter Mark Winne, 21 Savage has been arrested by ICE. They claim he is originally from the U.K., and plan to deport him.
21 Savage has always claimed to be from Atlanta, and even tells story about his upbringing through interviews and his music, so this comes as a shock many.
Winne has reportedly been speaking with ICE spokesperson Bryan Cox, who has been providing him with all these details.
“ICE spokesman Bryan Cox: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested unlawfully present United Kingdom national Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph AKA ‘21 Savage’ during a targeted operation with federal and local law enforcement partners early Sunday in metro Atlanta.”
I’ve reached out to 21’s lawyer to gain confirmation on these accusations.
