While 21 Savage remains locked up following his recent ICE arrest, JAY-Z is stepping up to help the British-born rapper. According to TMZ, the Hip Hop mogul calls 21’s situation “an absolute travesty” and will do whatever he can to assist — much like he did with Meek Mill.
As a result, Jay has enlisted Roc Nation to respond to a “matter of injustice” by hiring attorney Alex Spiro.
“We are not going to stop until he is released, bonded out or in front of a judge,” Spiro said. “What we have here is someone who overstayed their Visa with an application pending for 4 years – not a convicted criminal that needs to be detained and removed but, by all accounts a wonderful person, father, and entertainer who has a marijuana offense which was vacated and sealed.”
The I Am > I Was artist was taken into custody on Sunday (February 3). It was discovered he was actually from the U.K. and had been in the United States illegally for over a decade. In a statement from attorney Charles Kuck, his legal team revealed he’s had a pending U visa application for years.
In 2017, he reportedly reapplied for the U visa, which may have triggered the background check and ultimately led to his arrest.
21 is currently in “removal proceedings,” but his legal team vows to fight deportation. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Slick Rick knows all about this bullshit.
The Kardashian Law Firm was and still is a good ideal in memory of their father ! R.I.P Johnny Cochran
Fuck Gay Z! Savage must be his girlfriend. Why do Democrats love illegals and criminals?
The government should pay for schools, and not just the majority white ones.
Why dont he help an actual political prisoner or some shit. They acting like he facing time. Worst case his millionaire ass got move back to the UK until his lawyers can handle his business which should have been done years ago.
Obviously you don’t realize the US government has him locked up in a place that believe me is way worse than any prison and also they have the right to seize his money as well….Learn something!!
They have ZERO right to seize his money if it was acquired legally. Publishing is universal. You collect anywhere on earth. He is sitting in the deportation holding facility probably in Texas. I’ve helped countless people there before. It’s a minimum security jail, that’s more relaxed than a county jail. You can buy commissary, watch TV and wear your own clothing. Jackass.
Why help an immigrant with 0 skills but not Bobby Shurmda. Jay Z is a jackass
Because Boddy Smurder-er is guilty as sin and this seems a little Unjust.
Unjust? Dude is here ILLEGALLY. He bras about having 6 cars all day, not 6 lawyers. Dummy
Bobby Shmurda don’t turn a profit bro. Money then cash and if theres time – hoes.
You’d rather free an American murderer than an immigrant who used to sell weed?
The US need immigration, clearly the gene pool needs a freshen up.
He has helped in those type of situations before, you know this reminds me of the Boondocks when they were talking about crabs in a barrel.
Wtf do you mean “Free 21 Savage”? Send him back to the UK, he’ll be free af across the pond. What difference does it even make? He can make music from there no problem.
Its Captain Save a HOV” to duh rescue.
Jay took the L on this one. This lil nigglet got cash but you sponsoring him so you can attach your organization name to this situation for publicity. Bitch you crazy. Its people out here strugglin 4real with no representation, I don’t feel bad for the illegal immigrant rapper, sorry. Kid said he was born in Atlanta, fake AF
I feel bad for you. Clearly a naturalized citizen of stupid.
Jay needs publicity now? That’s funny. He could take his kids for a walk and get more attention.
I dont know why yall mad at Jay lol. It’s nice seeing hiphop make power moves for each other and hopefully succeed, lets see what happen
Yo,
Jigga, call me!
– Kanye
So Jay-Z an activist now.., after years of promoting drugs lol
And stabbing people in nightclubs. Remember?
Jayz a captain save a rapper..
Most people don’t even read the point where it says his visa has been pending for 4 years. Those same people probably don’t know how the slow process of getting these visa approvals due to a faulty immigration policy. But of course it’s those same people that do most of the talking. Had to speak up as another voice.
You obviously CAN’T read. It says in bold print there he applied in 2017, right after the 4 year statement. What’s 2019-2017? Dummy. A visa isn’t a right, it’s a PRIVILEGE! Not everyone is approved. He could have been denied the visa and had a deportation declared. Stupid. Trying to sound all logical when this is some dindunuffins bullshit. Deport this deadbeat. Just because you applied for a visa, doesn’t mean you can’t or won’t be deported. Idiot.
Faulty immigration policy? No, it’s called vetting. We take in far more than any other nation worldwide. Since 21 Savage caught a felony, that’s why he’s being deported. America doesn’t make gangsters into citizens dumbass
Deport
Jay trying to get some glory of this, he prob gonna try to make a documentary out of it. I wanna make a deal tho yall can send 21 savage slow ass back to where he from forever but yall gotta send that cat Shyne back to the here, fix his vocals and make him drop another album.
No. Savage caught a felony. This on visas need to stay out of trouble to become citizens. He doesn’t stay out of trouble. So fuck him.
All these haters mad at King HOV for helping a fellow black man out. Why ain’t broke woman beater Nas doing shit like this? I thought he was “for the people”. But he’s always worried about himself and desperately trying to get money for his gold digging ex wife. So selfish. With King HOV’s power and money behind him, 21 Savage can become a full US citizen and stay in the states. I’m all for it. It’s the ROC!
Lol no. Savage has been convicted of a felony. Money won’t help him. He will certainly be deported. Good
And while you’re deporting millionaires to go pay taxes elsewhere, the Mexicans keep on coming. Good.
Jay Zs prison reform = keeping guilty criminals out of prison
There’s always one retard in the bunch. Glad you spoke up and identified yourself!
An illegal immigrant (although that matters the least), with a loaded gun, who is driving under the influence, and is also a convicted felon = crime. LMAO
ICE said his whole story is made up
Lmaoo meek mill? The same guy who has countless arrest before and after fame. The guy who knew what the consequences were when he violated his probabtion lmao man blacks cry and cry over everything, no wonder the hoods look the way they do 20 years later until the white man buys shit up
Did you read the article or just skim through it? It said he applied 4 years ago for a U Visa, then REAPPLIED again in 2017 for a U Visa. Which mean- It took so long with the initial application, he just started the process over from scratch. Understanding is fundamental.
If he applied for a U visa in 2017 how is that pending 4 years? Even if he did it January 2017 that’s barely two years. WTF.
Villain got banished, refused out the U.S he aint even spanish.
