<p>21 Savage was released from an ICE detention center earlier this week. Shortly after his release, he sat down with Linsey Davis for <em><a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/21-savage-targeted-ice-interview-release-bond-61074896">Good Morning America</a></em> for his first interview.</p>
<p>During the interview, he detailed what happened the day he was arrested. He said, “I was just driving. And I just seen guns and blue lights. And, then, I was in the back of a car. And I was gone.” He continued to say that officials didn’t even tell him he was under arrest. “They didn&#8217;t say nothing. They just said, &#8216;We got Savage.'&#8221;</p>
<p>Reflecting on the arrest, 21 Savage said, “I feel like I done been through so much in my life, like, I learned to embrace the times when I&#8217;m down &#8217;cause they always build me up and take me to a new level in life. So it&#8217;s like even if I&#8217;m sitting in a cell on 23-hour lockdown, in my mind, I know what&#8217;s gonna come after that. So I&#8217;m not happy about it. But I&#8217;m accepting of it.”</p>
<p>Born Abraham-Joseph in 1992, 21 Savage detailed when he first came to the United States. He said, “I was seven when I first came here. And we had left in, like, 2005 &#8217;cause my uncle died, my Uncle Foster. So we went back to go to his funeral, and, then, we came back.”</p>
<p>He added, “So that&#8217;s why I think [ICE] got it confused where they thought, like, that was my first coming.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dina LaPolt, his lead attorney said, “We are in the middle of securing his immigration status so he is a citizen, but it is very complicated and there’s a lot of steps we have to go through.”</p>
<p>Since his arrest 21 Savage has received support from many of his fans from all over and also his peers in the hip hop community.</p>
