Local Atlanta news outlet WSB posted one of the first photos of 21 Savage after his release from ICE custody. In the picture, which you can see below, a very happy 21 is embracing his mother, who is clearly excited that her son is out of the detention centre.
21, whose real name is She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, is going through a very difficult situation. The 26-year-old artist was in ICE custody for nine days after his arrest for being an illegal immigrant. Reps for 21 issued a statement about the rapper securing his bond as they announced that the rapper had been granted bond on Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 12).
“21 Savage asked us to send a special message to his fans and supporters—he 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,” reads a statement from 21’s attorneys Alex Spiro, Kuck and Dina LaPolt.
“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.”
