Beyonce’s husband had called the ordeal, “absolute travesty“. As per TMZ, the Roc Nation founder has also hired attorney Alex Spiro to support 21 Savage, whose real name is Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, with his case. That is what we call, ‘putting your money where your mouth is.’
“We are not going to stop until he is released, bonded out or in front of a judge,” Spiro tells TMZ. “What we have here is someone who overstayed their Visa with an application pending for 4 years-not a convicted criminal that needs to be detained and removed but, by all accounts a wonderful person, father, and entertainer who has a marijuana offense which was vacated and sealed.”
ICE alleged that Savage arrived in the US in 2005 at the age of 12 on a one year visa that was never renewed, while Savage explained that he first arrived in the United States at the age of 7 under an H-4 visa. He then remained in the US until June 2005, departing for approximately one month to visit the UK, returning to the US with a valid H-4 visa on July 22, 2005.
According to the statement, since July 2005, Savage has been “continuously physically present in the United States for almost 20 years, except for a brief visit abroad.” In 2006, he lost his legal status “through no fault of his own.” When he discovered he had been in the US illegally, he applied for a U visa in 2017.
