It’s been a rough February for UK-born rapper 21 Savage. After being released from ICE custody, posting a $100,000 bond on Wednesday (February 13), he is now dealing with a felony warrant for failing to deliver on a strip club performance in 2016 — despite pulling up to the venue and being paid $17,000.
According to a TMZ report, the promoter he allegedly stiffed filed a police report and the paperwork necessary for a felony warrant for theft by deception. The warrant sat idle for two years until the promoter finally decided to pursue the criminal case following 21’s February 3 arrest.
For 21 — who turned himself in Friday (February 15) to the Liberty County Sheriff’s Department — the timing couldn’t be worse, as an open felony charge isn’t something you want in preparation for a deportation hearing.
Abby Taylor, 21’s lawyer, told TMZ, “We look forward to an amicable resolution between the parties in the near future with no criminal implications whatsoever.”
The rap star also broke his silence on Friday (February 15) for the first time since his arrest in a high profile interview with Good Morning America.

Talk about kicking a man when he is down. Give him a break.
He shit on the promoter but you dont care about him cuz he not famous, right?
Man I’ve never heard of felony arrest for shifting on a promoter. But hell, I usually pay attention mostly to music, not this bullshit gossip. That’s all the jazz in hip hop now
Poor Dindu. Dodged a bullet, not six. Now he’s in front of a firing squad again. Hahaha
There’s a deeper issue going on here. White america sending a statement to the black community by arresting so many entrepreneurs, as well as killing black people publicly. This isn’t a game and peoples lives and freedom are at stake, and white america is targeting people that can make a change with the next generation of young black people coming up. Their brainwashing our folks and making examples of what will happen.
Even to tell that man to get a GED is racist and your racism
