The music world was caught by surprise when news broke that ICE had arrested 21 Savage on Sunday, February 3.
21, who’s real name is Shayaa Bin Abraham-Joseph was arrested by ICE over claims that he is a citizen of the UK who was living in America illegally since he was a teenager.
Reports say that his visa to the United States expired one year after moving to Atlanta. And now as more details continue to develop, the rapper’s recently-released birth certificate reveals that he was born in England.
According to The Daily Mail
“The musician also has twin sisters in the capital, dance choreographers Kyra and Jayda, who have called his arrest ‘fishy’ but deleted childhood photos of the star growing up in the UK with one saying: ‘I don’t want him to get deported,’” the site continues. Jayda took to her Twitter page to comment on the news, stating that she thinks he should be able to stay in America regardless of where he’s from originally.
