Jay-Z has come to the defence of UK-born rapper 21 Savage, describing his arrest and detainment by US immigration authorities as “an absolute travesty” and paying for a lawyer to represent him.

21 Savage, whose real name is Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, is a British national who moved to the US aged 12 in 2005 and went on to overstay his visa.
