21 Savage Reveals Meek Mill Played a Role in His Release From ICE Custody
21 Savage Reveals Meek Mill Played a Role in His Release From ICE Custody In the words of 21 Savage, Meek Mill was a major factor in his release from an immigration detention facility. The rapper spoke about the incident during a recent appearance on My Expert Opinion with Math Hoffa. “They detained me ’cause they said I had a felony conviction, but the felony conviction got dismissed,” he explained. “And I called Meek while I was in jail and told Meek, ‘Bro, I just got locked up.’ [Meek] called Jay-Z, and Jay-Z put a lawyer on my case … [he] played a role in getting me out of there.” Jay called the arrest a “travesty” and vowed to fight until ICE released the rapper. “[Jay’s] ain’t just doing that sh_t for anybody, just ’cause you rap …,” he said. “It’s like you gotta be from a certain cloth … I don’t feel like he’s just doing that for anybody. I ain’t Roc Nation or any of that sh_t.” Do you think JAY-Z does what is best for the culture, or do you feel he does what is best for himself, or both?
