Atlanta rapper 21 Savage is a free man again. The hip-hop star has reportedly been released from ICE custody on bond as he awaits a deportation hearing.
According to report, Sav’s attorneys managed to spring him from detainment but must ultimately return for a hearing.
21’s lawyers, Charles H. Kuck, Dina LaPolt and Alex Spiro tell TMZ, “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.” (TMZ)

Texas hip-hop artist Post Malone low-key showed his support for Sav during his Grammys performance.
Post Malone took the stage at Sunday’s Grammys Awards to perform his hit song “Rockstar.” Though Malone upset some fans by not mentioning 21 Savage, born She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, while on stage with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, he did wear a shirt with the rapper’s stage name on it underneath his jacket during the performance. (PEOPLE)
Last week, reports emerged about music icon JAY-Z getting involved in Savage’s deportation case over an expired visa.
The hip-hop mogul calls the arrest and detention of the “Bank Account” rapper “an absolute travesty” … and points out his U Visa application has been pending for years. Jay says … “In addition to being a successful recording artist, 21 deserves to be reunited with his children immediately.” Also, even though Savage isn’t a Roc Nation artist, Jay-Z’s company has responded to what it calls a “matter of injustice” by hiring attorney Alex Spiro to assist with his case.
