Jay Z to the rescue, hires lawyer to handle 21 Savage’s deportation case.
21 Savage has indeed been getting a lot of support from industry
colleagues since his arrest and the latest is from music mogul and
icon, Jay Z, who has hired a lawyer to handle his proposed deportation.
According to TMZ, Jay Z thinks 21
Savage’s arrest and detention is “an absolute travesty” and should be
released so he can reunite with his kids. To help speed up his release,
the music mogul hired lawyer, Alex Spiro to assist with his case.
“We are not going to stop until he is
released, bonded out or in front of a judge … What we have here is
someone who overstayed their Visa with an application pending for 4
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,” Spiro tells TMZ.

The gist is that 21 Savage actually
had a U Visa permit pending for 4 years before he reapplied for one in
2017, which as we reported may have led to a background check that
discovered his visa was expired and triggered his arrest.
21 Savage’s legal battle gets a boast as Jay Z hires lawyer take over his case.
