“It’s a good day for She’yaa and everyone else that is locked up that shouldn’t be,” Savage’s lawyer Alex Spiro said.
In a statement, his lawyers, Charles H. Kuck, Dina LaPolt and Alex Spiro said:
“21 Savage asked us to send a special message to his fans and supporters — he says that while he wasn’t present at the Grammy Awards, he was there in spirit and is grateful for the support from around the world and is more than ever, ready to be with his loved ones and continue making music that brings people together.”
“He will not forget this ordeal or any of the other fathers, sons, family members, and faceless people, he was locked up with or that remain unjustly incarcerated across the country. And he asks for your hearts and minds to be with them.”
The rapper was arrested on February 3rd while trying to process a U-Visa.
