Drake’s Revelation in “8AM in Charlotte”
In his latest song, “8AM in Charlotte,” Drake drops a bombshell by rapping, “Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate. Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian.” The timing of this announcement is particularly intriguing as Drake and 21 Savage have two shows scheduled in Drake’s hometown of Toronto, Canada, this coming weekend.
21 Savage’s Immigration Battle
For those unfamiliar with the backstory, 21 Savage faced a major setback in 2019 when he was arrested by ICE officials during Super Bowl weekend in Atlanta. It was during this arrest that the world discovered he was a UK citizen who had been living in the United States without legal documentation since his visa expired. The situation was further complicated when authorities found codeine and a firearm in his vehicle.
However, due to a backlog of cases and the subsequent COVID-19 pandemic, 21 Savage’s immigration proceedings were delayed, causing him to be unable to attend any tour stops outside of the United States.
The Long-awaited Green Card
Now, with the announcement that his immigration case has been closed, 21 Savage can finally breathe a sigh of relief. He has successfully obtained a Green Card, granting him legal status in the United States and the ability to travel internationally. This news opens up a world of possibilities for the rapper, both personally and professionally.
