21 Savage doesn't want what happened to him to happen to anyone else.

Earlier this year, Savage was arrested by ICE for being in the United States illegally and spent ten days in a detention center. The rap world was shocked to learn that Savage, who reps Atlanta hard, was a British citizen who moved with his parents to the United States as a child and never cleared up his immigration status.

He is now an advocate for immigration reform.

“When you’re a child, you don’t know what’s going on,” he told the AP. “Now, you grow up and got to figure it out. Can’t get a job. Can’t get a license. I’m one of the lucky ones who became successful. It’s a lot of people who can’t.”

“When you ain’t got no choice, you should be exempt,” 21 Savage said. “It’s not like I was 30, woke up and moved over here. I’ve been here since I was like 7 or 8, probably younger than that. I didn’t know anything about visas and all that. I just knew we were moving to a new place. I feel like we should be exempt. I feel like we should automatically become citizens.”

Do you agree?
