AdvertisementThe Black Lives Matter movement has launched a petition to block the 'racist' deportation of Atlanta rapper 21 Savage after it was revealed he is British and his US visa ran out 13 years ago. Today campaigners from Black Lives Matter [BLM] said his arrest is part of an epidemic of 'racist' arrests by ICE and their Free 21 Savage petition has been signed by 115,000 in 24 hours. Kuck said 21 Savage is eligible for this type of visa because of an incident that occurred in 2013, when 21 Savage was shot and his best friend Larry was killed. On his 21st birthday he was shot six times himself in a failed assassination attempt and that's why he took the rap name 21 Savage. US rappers Lil Yachty and Meek Mill both tweeted similar messages calling for 21 Savage to be freed.
