Demi Lovato landed herself in hot water following tweets directed at 21 Savage who had reportedly just been detained by ICE and possibly facing deportation for not being a US citizen.
According to TMZ, the Atlanta rapper was taken into custody Sunday morning in wake of Super Bowl LIII.
He is accused of entering the United States back in 2005 on a visa and never leaving once it expired in 2006. He is believed to have been born in the Caribbean island of Dominica, a territory of the United Kingdom.
During The Big Game (which was dubbed “boring” even by other professional athletes) took to her Twitter page and tweeted the following meme regarding the news of his arrest.
Lovato has been subjected to her own memes by internet trolls following a reported drug overdose that almost took her life in July of 2018. Fans who were not pleased by her tweet directed at Savage quickly reminded of her past mistakes.

Just like I didn’t think the memes about Demi’s drug addiction were funny — I don’t think the memes about Savage are funny. Both are very serious issues.

The viral tweet later prompted the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer to deactivate her Twitter account. She then took to Instagram to defend herself and explain her initial tweet.
