Djansezian / Getty Jay-Z throwing support 21 Savage’s way after the Atlanta rapper was apprehended by ICE this week. The 26-year-old rapper was born in the London borough of Newham to British parents, according to a birth certificate obtained by CNN . ICE says he came to the States at age 12 in July 2005, but didn’t leave under the terms of his nonimmigrant visa. His visa expired in 2006.

He’s going a step further by hiring attorney Alex Spiro to assist with his case. “We are not going to stop until he is released, bonded out or in front of a judge,” said Spiro. “What we have here is someone who overstayed their Visa with an application pending for 4 years – not a convicted criminal that needs to be detained and removed but, by all accounts a wonderful person, father, and entertainer who has a marijuana offense which was vacated and sealed.” 21 Savage apparently had a visa permit pending for four years before he reapplied for U Visa in 2017. That application may have led to a background check which triggered his arrest. [ione_media_gallery src=”https://92q.com” id=”4070895″ overlay=”true”]
