21 Savage Released From Detention Pending Court Hearing

After spending nine days in detention, Rapper 21 Savage has once again regained his freedom.
Savage whose real name is Sha Yaa bin Abraham-Joseph, was arrested in Atlanta by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement for overstaying his residency in the United States. Nonetheless, he already has put in an application for U Visa which since 2017 is still being processed.
On Tuesday, after his representatives spent time with his prosecutors behind closed doors, a decision was reached to release the British-born rapper on bond pending court hearing on his case.
"ICE has nog charged Mr. Abraham-Joseph with any crime," his lawyer said after his release.
Savage moved with his parent from the United Kingdom to the United States at age seven. It later happened that his parents overstayed their residency and that resulted in his unlawful residency.
The Atlanta-based rapper's lawyer went on to say that "he, like almost two million other children, was left without legal status through no fault of his own."
He was amongst nominees at the just comcluded Grammy Awards and also meant to perform but was held in detention and could not make an appearance at the ceremony.
