Rapper 21 Savage has just been arrested by officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Savage, whose real name is Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, is actually from the United Kingdom, according to ICE officials, and reportedly entered America legally in 2005.

Officials state that Savage “subsequently failed to depart under the terms of his nonimmigrant visa” and has been placed into removal (deportation).

Young Nudy was the original target of a police operation which led to the arrest of Savage by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Reports say that while police was arresting Nudy, they also brought in 21 Savage with two others. While getting booked, that’s when police handed over 21 Savage to ICE. Young Nudy’s arrest was not linked to his status in the United States. An associate of Young Nudy, claims that Nudy and 21 were not in the same vehicle at the time of the “targeted operation” plus the Atlanta Police Department were not the ones doing the traffic stop that started the chain of events. The associate also took to twitter to speak on the matter.
