21 Savage Reveals How Meek Mill & Jay-Z Helped Him Out Of ICE Custody

There were a few insights from 21 Savage’s conversation with Math Hoffa and Co. that stood out. We’ve covered the Atlanta-based rapper’s comments on Young Thug, Gunna, and their suspected YSL associates being hit with RICO charges, as well as parts in the lengthy piece where 21 talks NBA YoungBoy and Lil Durk’s ongoing dispute and whether or not he believes he could assist stop the issue.

Another event that drew attention was when 21 Savage discussed his arrest by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in 2019. Many people were surprised to hear that Savage was born in London and was not a US citizen at the time.

The rapper spent a week in a detention institution before getting out on bond. ICE officials attempted to portray Savage as a criminal who was avoiding the proper chain of command in order to remain in the United States at the time. However, the rapper’s lawyers quickly rebutted, claiming that they had been trying to renew his Visa for years and that the government was well aware of his situation.

Meek Mill and Jay-Z were crucial in 21 Savage’s release from custody, he said in an interview with Math Hoffa.

“They detained me ’cause they said I had felony conviction, but the felony conviction got dismissed,” Savage spoke about his 2014 case. “And I called Meek while I was in jail and told Meek, ‘Bro, I just got locked up.’ He called Jay-Z, and Jay-Z put a lawyer on my case.” He added, “[Jay-Z] ain’t just doing that sh*t for anybody.”

21 Savage Talks About Young Thug And Gunna’s RICO Arrest

21 Savage, another Atlanta rapper has now voiced his opinion on the My Expert Opinion show, speaking with Math Hoffa. “It’s a Catch-22,” the Issa Album artist says approximately a minute and a half into the video, referring to how tough it can be for some musicians to retain a relationship with their hometown after landing their big break.

“It’s like, I can make it and forget about my hood, and then my hood going to be trying to kill me. Or, I can look out for my hood, and I can catch a RICO,” he stated. “If you get on and turn your back on your hood, you’re a f*ck n*gga.”

Overall, Savage urged rappers to exercise caution when visiting venues they frequented prior to their fame. “They gonna take your jewelry, they gonna show the world, ‘He ain’t even like that. He’s a bitch.’ If you take care of your hood, you’re a f*cking leader.”

“If you want to be a n*gga hanging on the block, just know that you can get killed hanging on the block, rapper or not. That’s how it go,” the “Wheelie” hitmaker told Hoffa.

Young Thug is doing his best to stay in good spirits, according to the latest updates from both his ex, Jerika Karlae, and his good buddy, Lil Baby, from behind bars. Both he and Gunna are currently held without bond in Fulton County, leaving the world without YSL’s biggest names for the time being.

21 Savage Speaks On NBA YoungBoy & Lil Durk Feud, “Ain’t No Trying” To End It

21 Savage is speaking out after being one of numerous artists dissed in NBA YoungBoy’s tune “I Hate YoungBoy” a few months ago. As his federal prosecution grinds forward, the Louisiana rapper has been under house arrest in Utah. However, he released the track in February, which features Lil Durk, the rapper’s fiancée India Royale, Durk’s father, the late King Von, Gucci Mane, Lil Baby, the 4PF crew, and 21. It was supposedly in response to Durk’s “AHHH HA,” in which the Chicago rapper allegedly took verbal aim at YoungBoy, prompting this retaliation.

21 Savage was asked about the ongoing beef between former friends Lil Durk and NBA YoungBoy in an interview with DJ Akademiks last Fall, prior to this exchange. Many artists will not work with YoungBoy due to their devotion to Durk, according to 21 at the time.

21 Talks On Lil Durk And YoungBoy Beef

“You don’t have to pick sides,” he stated as at that time. “But you gotta be a certain type of artist to be in the middle.” Math Hoffa was recently approached by 21 Savage and asked if he had taken any steps to put the feud to rest.

“Nah, hell nah,” he said. Sometimes, according to Savage, situations are too far gone for others to interject. “Certain sh*t you can’t even—you don’t try… Certain sh*t, you just know, ain’t no trying.”

There have been numerous pleas for peace in the Rap world, and it appears that the number of musicians who have died is increasing tremendously in recent years. We don’t know if those messages have reached NBA YoungBoy and Lil Durk, but their friends want them to put their legal issues behind them.

Khaled has previously stated that he is working on a new album. He made a similar message devoted to 21 Savage earlier this month on his social media platforms.

Khaled, who has twelve studio albums under his belt, recently declared that in a Verzuz fight, he would be unbeatable. A new record including Baby, 21 Savage, and others would undoubtedly strengthen his case.

“I really don’t see nobody. My catalog is super strong… I mean that with love,” On Trick Daddy’s cooking show, I Got My Pots, he said. “You might want to Google it… I’ve been doing this sh*t for two decades. Khaled got hits.”

21 Savage Claim It was Kanye West Who Dumped Kim Kardashian

The story goes that Kim Kardashian was the one who left Kanye West and eventually divorced.

Kanye certainly seemed to confirm this when he publicly asked for her to come back.

However, 21 Savage has a different take on what happened.

In Gunna’s new song “Thought I Was Playing”, Savage refers to Kim-Ye’s breakup, but implies that West did the dumping.

Savage is part of Ye-Verse, who had a relationship with Kanye’s ex, Amber Rose, who turned him into a “hoe.”

So maybe he knows something. Or maybe it’s just a play on words.
