Metro Boomin appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Monday, February 11, and he had a very specific message. After performing his hit song “Space Cadet” with Gunna, Metro Boomin turned around to reveal the writing on the back of his jacket which read “Free 21 Savage.”
21 Savage has recently been taken into custody by ICE for overstaying his visa.
Metro Boomin and 21 have collaborated before, so the support from the music producer comes as no surprise.
You can watch the full performance below.
What Happened?
Rapper 21 Savage, born Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, has been arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Atlanta, Georgia. According to ICE spokesman Bryan Cox, the rap star is an “unlawfully present United Kingdom national” and is set to be deported.
21 Savage is alleged to have entered the United States legally in 2005, but overstayed his non-immigrant visa after it expired. It was previously reported that 21 moved to DeKalb County, Georgia in July 2005, but it was never clear where he came to the Atlanta area from.
Metro Boomin feat. Gunna ‘Space Cadet’ Lyrics
[Intro: Gunna]
Yeah, ooh
Metro on these
Boominati wave, uh
(We’ve done it with robotic arm on the space shuttle
We’ve done it with direct launch of modules)
Prepare for lightspeed
[Chorus: Gunna]
Bought a spaceship, now I’m a space cadet (Space cadet)
Big white mansion is my habitat (Habitat)
Aim a lot of sticks like it’s laser tag (Laser tag)
F*ck a rich b*tch, havin’ rich sex (Rich sex)
Smoke a lot of trees, need a weed plant (Weed plant)
Addicted to codeine, where the lean at? (Where the lean at?)
Sleepin’ on these G’s, it’s a beanbag (Beanbag)
Got Rick Owen jeans, cost a cool rack (Cool rack)
[Verse 1: Gunna]
Check came from my fans, life is fantastic (Fantastic)
I was broke as hell, sleepin’ on the mattress (On the mattress)
I felt like it’s Hell, wasn’t nobody happy
Hot shells droppin’ out the semi-automatic (Hot shells)
Ran it up, bought a condo, got a new addy (Ran it up)
Got the VVs with a Vlone jean jacket (VVs)
They can’t see me, even if you had 3D glasses (3D glasses)
Bad b*tch in the bikini, she from Calabasas (Calabasas)
Got a pocket full of bleu cheese and some green relish
I’m a psycho for these hundreds, got a cash fetish (Cash fetish)
I’ve been studyin’ these hundreds, I’m a mathematic
And this love make me wanna buy my dad a Caddy
‘Cause the love got me geeked up, I don’t need an Addy
Dracos let these n*ggas know we war-ready (’Cos)
Expensive clothes on my b*tches, we ain’t ball-cappin’
Alien, feel like I’m livin’ on my own planet
[Chorus: Gunna]
Bought a spaceship, now I’m a space cadet (Space cadet)
Big white mansion is my habitat (Habitat)
Aim a lot of sticks like it’s laser tag (Laser tag)
F*ck a rich b*tch, havin’ rich sex (Rich sex)
Smoke a lot of trees, need a weed plant (Weed plant)
Addicted to codeine, where the lean at? (Where the lean at?)
Sleepin’ on these G’s, it’s a beanbag (Beanbag)
Got Rick Owen jeans, cost a cool rack (Cool rack)
[Verse 2: Gunna]
Chanel shoes overseas, they was patent leather
Shop in Tokyo, Japan, they the best ever
Blueberry t-shirt, sleeve on leather
Hard-top turn the vert, ride in any weather
You ain’t gotta bend down, this ain’t the propeller
Me and Wheezy spent a dime coppin’ Gucci sweaters
Steady drippin’, n*gga drownin’, I cannot help him
It’s the Boominati, guys, we are not the devil (Boominati)
Got Colombia and ties out in Mexico (Mexico)
Wash the Benz a hundred times, still smell dope (Smell dope)
Got some pants from Philipp Plein feel like velcro
A b*tch fine and love shoppin’ at Rodeo (Yeah)
I be iffy, don’t want cop if it’s a day old
Ain’t stingy, my bro Gunna get a payroll
I just want the pretty women and the pesos
I can only hear the engine in this Lambo
[Chorus: Gunna]
Bought a spaceship, now I’m a space cadet (Space cadet)
Big white mansion is my habitat (Habitat)
Aim a lot of sticks like it’s laser tag (Laser tag)
F*ck a rich b*tch, havin’ rich sex (Rich sex)
Smoke a lot of trees, need a weed plant (Weed plant)
Addicted to codeine, where the lean at? (Where the lean at?)
Sleepin’ on these G’s, it’s a beanbag (Beanbag)
Got Rick Owen jeans, cost a cool rack (Cool rack)
Bought a spaceship, now I’m a space cadet (Space cadet)
Big white mansion in my habitat (Habitat)
Aim a lot of sticks like it’s laser tag (Laser tag)
F*ck a rich b*tch, havin’ rich sex (Rich sex)
Smoke a lot of trees, need a weed plant (Weed plant)
Addicted to codeine, where the lean at? (Where the lean at?)
Sleepin’ on these G’s, it’s a beanbag (Beanbag)
Got Rick Owen jeans, cost a cool rack (Cool rack)
