Source: Prince Williams / Getty Sign The Petition To Help Free 21 Savage From ICE Custody 21 Savage has become a victim of this anti-immigrant political climate helmed by the Trump administration. If you listened to the #SOTU address last night then you know that the idea of 21 being deported from America would make these Republican a$$holes smile like the Grinch stealing Christmas. Despite the shameless people on Twitter who think this is hilarious, there are people who are treating this situation with the seriousness it deserves. The folks at Since The 80s, Black Lives Matter, Color of Change, BAJI (Black Alliance For Just Immigration), Define American, UndocuBlack Network have launched a petition directed at ICE Field Office Director, Sean Gallagher for the immediate release of the Atlanta father, son, friend and superstar. They are asking for 300,000 signatures and they are sitting on 221,776 at the time of this writing. We ask, beg, and implore each and every one of you to sign this petition and do all you can to make your voice heard on behalf of Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph. 21’s manager Meezy recently tweeted that he spoke to Savage on the phone and was told that the rapper is being locked down for 23 and 1, which means only ONE hour outside of his cell per day. They are clearly trying to break him, but we’re not going to let that happen. Go to OrganizeFor to sign the petition. Dead the corny “jokes” and do something good with your life.

Every day there’s some new political f***ery or racist BS that we have to contend with and honestly, it just gets exhausting. Luckily, there is a man who is able to not only articulate the socio-political sentiments of many Black people, he also knows how to make it funny as hell. Putting the truth inside the candy is what we love about Aaron McGruder and The Boondocks characters that he brought into our lives. Today, Charlagmagne tha God posted the return of McGruder’s beloved comic just in time for the State of the Union address tonight. Peep these Robert Mueller panels featuring Uncle Ruckus. If you’re a cable news junkie then you’ve seen Malcolm Nance airing out the truth about Donald Trump and his shady regime for years now. Yo! LMFAO! Long live Huey and Riley! Even Nicole Wallace was brought into The Boondocks world. Aaron made it pretty clear that we might not get this again or regularly, but damn are we happy to at least have The Boondocks back for the moment.

Source: Prince Williams / Getty It’s been a pretty tough and confusing weekend for 21 Savage and anyone that’s a fan of his music. Over the weekend, the rapper was taken into custody for possible removal from the U.S. TMZ reported, “21 Savage was picked up by ICE early Sunday morning. He apparently entered the U.S. legally in 2005 but his visa expired and he reportedly is here illegally. He reportedly is being held for removal proceedings … this for being in the country illegally and for being a felon. He was convicted of drug charges in 2014.” Lots of folks have pointed out that the timing of 21’s arrest is an eyebrow raiser. Not only that, but isn’t ICE’s job capture immigrants who are involved in illegal activity? We all know that Savage, whose r eal name is Shayaa Bin Abraham-Joseph , has a past — but he’s pretty much been on a strait and narrow for several years and doing so much for the African-American community. There’s so much more to the young star than tattoos, guns and an expired visa. Hit the flip for all the times 21 Savage made us love him.

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Shiggy has done one too many “In My Feelings” challenges and now the social media star says he is done dancing on command. Shiggy made the shocking announcement on his Instagram page. He posted a message saying, “Stop asking me to dance… I’M DONE”. As expected, no one in his comments really took him seriously. Many of his celebrity fans laughed off his plea. One follower said, “Nah bro, you gotta dance! At least do it for the kids”, to which Shiggy replied, “Nah, I’m done for real. Shit not fun no more. You could see it in my eyes.” For what it’s worth, Shiggy has been looking miserable with the on demand dancing for a while now. In a recent video, Harlem rapper Dave East demanded Shiggy dance on cue. At first, Shiggy attempted to play it off as if he didn’t hear him, but that didn’t stop the chants. Needless to say, Shiggy did what he was told. Even social media caught on to Shiggy’s cries for help. they got shiggy dancing in Dave east IG videos and he just tryna chill pic.twitter.com/HjtYGENkXz — Freddy B (@FredBeezy561) January 29, 2019 I mean, he didn’t lie, you really can see the misery in his eyes. It’s almost like how miserable Chadwick Boseman looked when everyone had him saying “Wakanda Forever” every single day of 2018. Who suffered the most? pic.twitter.com/aJQ42Qlu8D — #HOUSESTARKHIVEHOE (@Cindtrillella) January 28, 2019 Shiggy’s decision to quit dancing shouldn’t come as a shock to his fans, though. Just a few days ago, on Instagram Live, he told his fans that he was going to call it quits and even blamed Dave East for making him realize how much he hates “shooking and jiving.” I guess no one believed him then, either. YOO SHIGGY said he Done done because of Dave East pic.twitter.com/02x9TfwlxL — OVO.Reh. (@Reha_Imperfect) January 30, 2019 It was all good a week ago, though. While at a game at the Barclays Center, Shiggy did the In My Feelings challenge courtside for the entire world to see. He looked happy enough on the outside. Who knew he was being tortured within, though. Then again, Black Twitter could see he was being manipulated by the masses. They wasted no time making memes. SOMEONE HELP SHIGGY HE DONT WANNA DANCE NO MORE pic.twitter.com/rWp6D7BTFv — 13 GHOST (@JalenYoung_) January 25, 2019 The timeline has turned on the queens legend shiggy smh pic.twitter.com/N9cXWUMdEz — Papi HATHAWAY (@HeadcACE1906) January 27, 2019 For what it’s worth, at one point everything was going well for Shiggy. We can’t forget his Best Week Ever . So now that Shiggy has quit dancing, what do you think he will do?
