When asked if he’s concerned about being deported in the interview, the rapper – real name She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph – responds that he’s “accepting” of whatever might happen. “I feel like I done been through so much in my life, like, I learned to embrace the times when I’m down cause they always build me up and take me to a new level in life,” he says. “So it’s like even if I’m sitting in a cell on 23-hour lockdown, in my mind, I know what’s gonna come after that. So I’m not happy about it. But I’m accepting of it.” Released on bond after nine days of detention, 21 Savage has also spoken about the targeted nature of his arrest. “I was just driving,” he recalls. “And I just seen guns and blue lights. And, then, I was in the back of a car. And I was gone.” He also says that those arresting him said: “We got Savage.” There have been some mistakes about when 21 Savage entered the US, as well. Original claims stated that he entered in 2005, but that was the date he returned from a trip for his uncle’s funeral. In actual fact, he first entered the US when he was seven (he was born in 1992). When asked if he knew his visa had expired, he admitted: “I didn't even know what a visa was.” Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREBloodz Boi: The humble godfather of Chinese underground rapA rare interview with POiSON GiRL FRiEND, dream pop’s future seerNigeria’s Blaqbonez is rapping to ‘beat his high score’Inside Erika de Casier’s shimmering R&B universe ‘Rap saved my life’: A hazy conversation with MIKE and Earl Sweatshirt7 essential albums by the SoulquariansIs AI really the future of music?The KPop Demon Hunters directors on fan theories and a potential sequelplaybody: The club night bringing connection back to the dancefloorAn interview with IC3PEAK, the band Putin couldn’t silenceFrost Children answer the dA-Zed quizThe 5 best features from PinkPantheress’ new remix album
