21 Savage Set To Return ‘Home’ For His First-Ever UK Show

21 Savage is gearing up to return “home” with a new announcement that he’ll be performing his first-ever UK show later this year.

The Slaughter Gang leader will head across the pond later this year for his first headlining concert at London’s The O2 Arena on November 30.

Earlier this month, Savage officially became a permanent United States resident, allowing him to travel freely outside the country again.

He made his first trip north of the border to join Drake and close out the It’s All A Blur Tour over the weekend in the 6 God’s hometown of Toronto. 21 previously didn’t appear on any of the other Canadian dates on the trek.

Tickets for the London show will have a pre-sale starting on Wednesday (October 11) with the rest of the general public having their opportunity on Friday (October 13) via Live Nation.

21 Savage teased his homecoming concert when he posted a video clip to Instagram on Saturday (October 7) soundtracked by Skylar Grey’s “Coming Home” and filled with footage of him as a kid.

Drake hopped into the comment section writing “we’re” seemingly meaning he’ll also be joining 21 across the pond for the London debut show.

Billboard also reported last week that 21 Savage is currently planning to do an entire international tour.

Savage ran into legal trouble surrounding his citizenship when he was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in February 2019. They claimed he traveled from the U.K. to the U.S. in 2005 but his visa expired in 2006, although he remained in the country.

The agency claimed at the time: “[Savage] initially entered the U.S. legally in July 2005, but subsequently failed to depart under the terms of his nonimmigrant visa and he became unlawfully present in the U.S. when his visa expired in July 2006.

“In addition to being in violation of federal immigration law, Mr. Abraham-Joseph was convicted on felony drug charges in October 2014 in Fulton County, Georgia.”

A resolution of those immigration charges was delayed, Savage’s team said (via TMZ), because of a criminal case related to the original ICE stop, involving controlled substance and weapons charges.

But DeKalb County, Ga. authorities told Billboard that those charges had been dropped, which seems to have cleared the way for the immigration issue to be settled.

In a statement released to HipHopDX over the weekend, Charles H. Kuck, the Managing Partner for Kuck Baxter LLC — who represents the “Rich Flex” rapper (real name Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph) — confirmed that his client has cleared up all his previous problems, and he’ll be back on his way to London in short order.

“She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph followed all applicable Immigration laws since his initial detention by ICE,” read his statement. “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.”
