This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Nesta McGregor and Jimmy Blake (February 4, 2019). "21 questions about 21 Savage". BBC News. Archived from the original on February 4, 2019. Retrieved February 4, 2019.

The rest of the story

Inquiring minds want to know. In the "Legal issues and controversies" section it seems "the rest of the story" could be explained.

"Drug conviction" subsection: Record was expunged. "21 Savage's only conviction, a 2014 federal drug charge, was expunged from his record in September 2018".
"Arrest on immigration charges" subsection: 21 Savage released on bond case still pending.
"Theft by deception charges" subsection: DA dropped the case.
Lawsuits subsection: Rappers Drake, 21 Savage settle with Conde Nast over fake Vogue cover. -- Otr500 (talk) 20:46, 4 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
