21 Savage was reportedly arrested on February 3, during an operation targeting at East Atlanta rapper Young Nudy. It is believed his arrest was unrelated.
“We are working diligently to get [21 Savage] out of detention while we work with the authorities to clear up any misunderstandings.” 21 Savage’s lawyer
21 Savage’s arrest has really surprised his fans because Wikipedia has the rappers nationality as American. It just doesn’t make sense to anyone. In saying that, Wikipedia also mentions that 21 Savage is a British rapper.

Saddened seeing this news on #21savage. There are many kids who are brought to this country that assume they are legal. I am American but when I left my island in the middle of the night after a hurricane I don't remember asking my Mom if she had all my legal documents!
