21 Savage’s legal team released a statement following his release. The rapper caught wind of the support he received while he was in ICE’s custody and thanked his fans and peers for holding it down for him.
“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,” it reads.
