If you’ve been keeping up with the news, you’d know 21 Savage was arrested by ICE last week. The rapper is facing deportation after his visa expired and is currently living in the United States illegally. Just in time for the Grammys, according to the rappers co-manager, the award show won’t give 21 Savage’s mom tickets to the show, so she can attend on his behalf.
The rappers co-manager took to his twitter to express how unfair the situation is. Savage is nominated for Record of the Year and Best Rap/Sung Performance for his Post Malone collaboration, “Rockstar.” The manager tweeted, “We won’t be going to Grammys … the politics and sh*t is ridiculous ..” He continued, “Everyone want us to be quiet bout sh*t that ain’t right man … its crazy.”
Looks like no one will be there to accept his awards if he wins. See the tweets below.
