Jay Z Hires 21 Savage A Lawyer

Jay-Z has stepped in to assist with 21 Savage’s battle to be released from the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). According to a report TMZ, Jay has hired a lawyer to work on Savage’s case. Jigga released a statement on the matter as well.

“In addition to being a successful recording artist, Savage deserves to be reunited with his children immediately,” Jay-Z said, while adding that his arrest was “an absolute travesty.” He also reiterated the same point that Savage’s team has made since the rapper’s arrest on Sunday (Feb. 3)—his U Visa application has been pending for years.

The attorney hired by Jay, Alex Spiro, also released a statement to TMZ.

“We are not going to stop until he is released, bonded out or in front of a judge,” he told TMZ. “What we have here is someone who overstayed their Visa with an application pending for four 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.”
