ICE Apprehends 21 Savage, Claims he’s British and Overstayed Visa

21 Savage was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Atlanta Sunday, with the agency claiming that the rapper is actually from the United Kingdom and overstayed his visa after coming to America as a teenager.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that 21 Savage, real name Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, was apprehended in a “targeted operation,” ICE spokesperson Brian Cox said.
