Social media exploded on Tuesday (February 12) upon hearing the news 21 Savage was being released from an ICE detainment center. The platinum-selling rap star has been behind bars since February 3.
21 will reportedly be released on bond on Wednesday (February 13) pending a detainment hearing after nine long days of fighting. His lawyers revealed 21 was grateful for all the support during the ordeal.
“He says that while he wasn’t present at the Grammy Awards, he was there in spirit,” the statement read. “[He’s] 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.
“He will not forget this ordeal or any of the other fathers, sons, family members, and faceless people, he was locked up with or that remain unjustly incarcerated across the country. And he asks for your hearts and minds to be with them.”
