Atlanta, Georgia
ICE claims that 21 Savage is originally from the United Kingdom and he moved to the US in 2005 when he was 12 years old and overstayed his visa. He moved to Atlanta and has lived there ever since.
21 Savage has numerous ways to stay in the US
GiphyTo start, 21 had no legal status when his parent's Visas ran out, meaning that his overstay is just a civil law violation that ICE is blowing out of proportion. Additionally, Savage has children that are US citizens that can provide him with relief.
Savage has supporters on his side
Rappers such as Offset, A$AP Rocky, and Meek Mill have all shown their support for 21. Jay-Z has even hired an attorney to defend 21.
