21 Savage

British-born rapper

21 Savage is the stage name of Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, a rapper who emerged from Atlanta's trap scene in the mid-2010s.

His deadpan delivery and unflinching lyrics about street violence made him a defining voice of his generation.

In 2019, ICE revealed he was born in the UK and had overstayed his visa—a detail that surprised fans who'd assumed he was Atlanta-born: Wait, 21 Savage is British?
