21 Savage was arrested by ICE in 2019 due to an immigration visa overstay following the expiration of his H-4 visa in 2006. In an interview with The Associated Press on October 4, 2019, the rapper stated that child immigrants like him should be automatically granted US citizenship, stating:

"When you’re a child, you don’t know what’s going on. 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."

The singer continued:

"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. feel like we should automatically become citizens.”
