His lawyers Charles H. Kuck, Dina LaPolt and Alex Spiro issued a statement concerning his release.
“For the past 9 long days, we, on behalf of
She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, known to the world as 21 Savage, have been
speaking with ICE to both clarify his actual legal standing, his
eligibility for bond, and provide evidence of his extraordinary
contributions to his community and society.
“In the last 24 hours, in the wake of the
Grammy Awards at which he was scheduled to attend and perform, we
received notice that She’yaa was granted an expedited hearing.
“Today, 21 Savage was granted a release on bond. He won his freedom.
“21 Savage asked us to send a special message
to his fans and supporters—he says that while he wasn’t present at the
Grammy Awards, he was there in spirit and is grateful for the support
from around the world and is more than ever, ready to be with his loved
ones and continue making music that brings people together.
“He will not forget this ordeal or any of the other fathers, sons,
family members, and faceless people, he was locked up with or that
remain unjustl incarcerated across the country. And he asks for your
hearts and minds to be with them.” the statement read.
