21 Savage was granted release on bond this week after being arrested on February 3 by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The rapper is now slated to appear on “Good Morning America” tomorrow (February 15) for his first interview since the arrest. Find a teaser for the interview below via Complex.
21 Savage’s legal team released a statement on his behalf this week. “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,” the statement reads. “And he asks for your hearts and minds to be with them.”
ICE claimed that 21 was a “United Kingdom national” who “is unlawfully present in the U.S.” After the arrest, the rapper confirmed via representatives that he was born in the United Kingdom. He said he came to the United States when he was 7 under an H-4 visa, departed in 2005 to visit the United Kingdom, and returned that same year. His representatives claimed 21 lost legal status in 2006 “through no fault of his own” and was in attempting to obtain another visa when he was arrested by ICE.
