21 Savage Residency

Rapper 21 Savage, whose real name is She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, has received legal clearance to travel abroad and is planning to stage an international performance in his hometown of London.

In a statement released on Friday, Savage’s attorney, Charles Kuck, informed The Big Big News that his client has now achieved permanent U.S. residency status, granting him the ability to travel internationally. This marks a significant milestone for the artist, considering his previous encounter with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Georgia in 2019.

Kuck emphasized that 21 Savage has diligently adhered to all relevant immigration regulations following his initial detention by ICE. He noted, “His immigration court proceedings have concluded, and he has obtained lawful permanent resident status in the United States, affording him the freedom to embark on international journeys.”

The 30-year-old rapper spent a period of ten days in a detention facility in southern Georgia before securing his release. His arrest had stemmed from a targeted operation due to an expired visa dating back to 2006.

During a 2019 interview with the Associated Press, the Atlanta-based artist disclosed that he had little understanding of visas when his mother brought him to the U.S. at the age of 7. He voiced the opinion that individuals like him, who had lived in the United States as undocumented immigrants since childhood, should automatically gain U.S. citizenship.

Savage also criticized the visa application process, asserting that it imposes a perpetual burden on many immigrants without proper documentation.

While Savage has announced his intention to return to London for an international performance through social media channels, specific details regarding the event have not yet been revealed.
