Over the weekend, 21 Savage was shockingly detained by ICE agents and the rapper is now facing deportation for having an expired visa.

The news surprised many fans of the artist as many believed he was from Atlanta after his comments in various interviews and music. According to an ICE spokesman, they claim he is actually a resident of the United Kingdom.

After two days of silence, his mother has come forth to clear up some of the rumors surrounding the situation on Instagram.

“It’s a damn shame when we live in a world where people thrive off and feed negative energy,” she wrote. “Laugh at others who are going through real life challenges, fighting for their lives & freedom… sick of it! However in the end people will see! This too shall come to pass[.] Free 21 Savage.”
