Grammy-nominated rapper 21 Savage was granted bond for release on Feb. 12 after spending more than a week in federal immigration custody, but he wasn’t freed right away, his lawyer said.
The rapper, whose given name is She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, was arrested during a targeted immigration operation early on Feb. 3. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said at the time that the British citizen had overstayed his visa and had a felony conviction.
