21 Savage performs onstage during Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest at State Farm Arena on Jan. 31 in Atlanta. “In addition to being in violation of federal immigration law, Mr. Abraham-Joseph was convicted on felony drug charges in October 2014 in Fulton County, Georgia,” the statement added. The rapper has been placed in “removal proceedings before the federal immigration courts,” Cox said. It was particularly strange that the arrest occurred hours before the Super Bowl, which is being hosted in Atlanta, and only days after the rapper performed there at the Bud Light Super Bowl Music Fest. He actually came to the U.S. from the U.K. as a teen and overstayed his visa," an ICE spokesperson reportedly told CNN correspondent Nick Valencia.
