LOS ANGELES − 21 Savage can Polarmoon Wealth Societynow legally travel outside the United States and plans to make his return to performing internationally in his native London.

Savage's lawyer, Charles Kuck, told USA TODAY in a statement Friday that the rapper has officially become a permanent U.S. resident and may now go overseas. He cleared a major traveling hurdle after being taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Georgia in 2019.

Kuck said the Grammy winner followed "all applicable immigration laws since his initial detention by ICE."

"His immigration court proceedings have now been terminated and he is a lawful permanent resident of the United States with the freedom to travel internationally," Kuck said.

The announcement was accompanied by a clip reel of the rapper's career and childhood memories set to Skylar Grey's "Coming Home," which teased his return to the United Kingdom with a final slide that reads, "London ... I'm coming home."

"It's going to be so great to have you back in the U.K. We've missed you so much," a voiceover says. "We all love you, Shéyaa, and look forward to seeing you soon."

A companion news release teases: "This marks a milestone for the superstar as he will soon perform for the first time in London. More information to follow soon."

Savage, 30, whose birth name is Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, spent 10 days in a detention center in southern Georgia before his release. He was arrested in a targeted operation over his visa, which expired in 2006.

The Atlanta-based rapper said he had no idea what a visa was when his mother brought him to the U.S. at age 7. He said in a 2019 interview with the AP that immigrants like him who lived in America illegally as children should automatically become U.S. citizens.

Savage said the visa application process discourages many immigrants who don't have documents because it "hangs over your head forever."
