21 Savage has divulged his plans once he finally obtains his Green Card on a new song with his British brethren Giggs — listen below.
On Friday (August 18), Giggs released his new album Zero Tolerance featuring a collaboration with the Slaughter Gang boss called “By Chance.” On the hard-hitting record, the London rap legend kicks things off by firing off threatening bars that set the tone for the track.
“Touch my little bro, it’s gonna cost your right arm/ See all of these n-ggas, yeah those are my dawgs/ I’m just doin’ me so please don’t cross on my path/ Dubai, I’m layin’ low, don’t stay at FIVE Palm,” he raps.
21 Savage then takes over, delivering some Southern swagger while unapologetically dropping his new immigration plan of action.
“When I get my Green Card I’m going straight to Brixton/ I don’t do no hair, but all my Glocks got extensions,” he raps over the menacing production.
Elsewhere, he brags: “I got mad pulls on six to London/ Fuck the metal detector, I still brought my gun in.”
21 Savage was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in 2019 after it was revealed he was actually born in the United Kingdom and had overstayed his visa.
ICE spokesman Brian Cox said the rapper (whose real name is Shéyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph) was taken into custody as part of a “targeted operation.”
21 had long repped Atlanta and it was assumed he was just another local ATL act, but Cox said he was in fact an “unlawfully present United Kingdom national” who legally entered the States in July 2005 on a visa.
However, his visa allegedly expired a year later and he’d remained in the U.S. illegally ever since.

21 Savage’s immigration issues resurfaced in April 2022 when it was reported his case was still in limbo due to an ongoing criminal case against him in DeKalb County, Georgia.
According to TMZ, federal agents claimed that he ditched a bottle of codeine outside of his car during his ICE arrest. They also said they discovered a handgun inside his vehicle.
21 wasn’t formally hit with charges for possession of a gun and possession of a schedule II controlled substance by the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office until January 2022. He did, however, turn himself in months prior and was bonded out of jail immediately.
The “A Lot” rapper is just one of several big-name guests on Giggs’ Zero Tolerance LP, which also features Jadakiss, Diddy, Dave East, Popcaan and Dave, among others.
