In a recently released trailer that doubles as a music video for a brand new 21 Savage song, Donald Glover and Caleb McLaughlin take turns portraying 21 Savage at different stages of his life, including his infamous 2018 ICE detainment.
The Atlanta rapper faced detainment by ICE but was eventually released in 2019. His arrest was linked to his birth in the United Kingdom, followed by his relocation to Atlanta as a child, where he gained recognition.
Subsequently, 21 Savage has achieved permanent U.S. citizenship. Furthermore, the trailer also showcases the involvement of Bel-Air star, Jabari Banks, who will play the role of Metro Boomin.
