21 Savage Out On Bail!

21 Savage free for now. The embattled rapper faces deportation for overstaying his VISA.
Welcome back!

The Jigga Man saved the Saint Laurent Don.

Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter managed to hire a great lawyer and helped embattled rapper 21 Savage escape a permanent flight back to England. 

21 Savage missed the Grammys. However, he won't miss that dinner with his children. Counting his blessings that the Immigration Customs and Enforcement agency allowed him to post a "get out free card."

It was confirmed that the Atlanta based rapper is born in the United Kingdom. He was brought to the United States in 2005 when he was child. His VISA was expired and he managed to live in the Atlanta metro area for over ten years.

Born She'yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, the rapper will have to monitored by the feds.

The rapper was busted in a targeted immigration operation on Feb. 3.

In an emailed statement, lawyers, Kuck, Dina LaPolt and Alex Spiro said they've been speaking with ICE since his arrest to "clarify his actual legal standing, his eligibility for bond, and provide evidence of his extraordinary contributions to his community and society."
21 Savage has three children. If he would have been deported, he would never see his children again.
They said they received notification in the previous 24 hours, "in the wake of the Grammy Awards at which he was scheduled to attend and perform,"that he was granted an expedited hearing. The Grammy Awards ceremony was Sunday.

He had a felony charge of marijuana in 2014 but the charges were reduced. He was placed in deportation proceedings in federal immigration court.

Federal immigration officials have known Abraham-Joseph's status since at least 2017, when he applied for a new visa. That application is pending, his attorneys said.

The attorneys also said ICE was incorrect that Abraham-Joseph has a felony conviction on his record. Fulton County prosecutors said they could not provide information on that case because it is sealed.

Abraham-Joseph's lawyers said Tuesday that he asked them to send a message to his supporters.

"(H)e 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," they said.

He added that 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."
