Never heard of him before, but will be interesting to see how his attorney works this one.

To answer my own question:

That, and you’re not eligible, you muppet.

He won’t vote in the upcoming 2016 presidential election, he said. “I don’t really think voting changes nothing, personally. I don’t believe in voting because they’re gonna pick who the **** they wanna pick. Who knows if them votes even be real. They could say, ‘Oh, Trump got this many votes.' Trump could have not got that many votes.”

Seems his father stayed in the UK, how his Mother moved over is unclear. A one year visa keeps getting mentioned?

Re: 21 savage actually British
Ok, I might be a bit mad (and bored) but I put a few words into an online rap generator and the result's quite pertinent. What I can understand of it, that is. What's a 'gunny' 
Ayo, my fans, it's time.
It's time, my fans (aight, my fans, begin).
Straight out the illegal dungeons of rap.
The politics drops deep as does my immigration.
I never run, 'cause to run is the mother of implication.
Beyond the walls, life is defined.
I think of America when I'm in an Atlanta state of mind.
Hope the operation got some communication.
My education don't like no dirty implication.
Run up to the information and get the station.
In an Atlanta state of mind.What more could you ask for? The feeble politics?
You complain about detention.
I gotta love it though - somebody still speaks for the mix.
I'm rappin' to the money,
And I'm gonna move your gunny.
British, strong, wrong, like a star
Boy, I tell you, I thought you were a bar.
I can't take the detention, can't take the pain.
I woulda tried to hide I guess I got no shame..
I'm rappin' to the gunny,
And I'm gonna move your money.
Yea, yaz, in an Atlanta state of mind.
When I was young my mother had a nix.
I waz kicked out without no nyx.
I never thought I'd see that styx.
Ain't a soul alive that could take my mother's mix.
An American justice is quite the injustice.
Thinking of America. Yaz, thinking of America (America).
What a load of shite

I thought a gunny was a stretcher.
There is a video of his mother speaking with an English access, family in the UK, and a Birth Certificate.
Also he has not toured outside the US it seems.

Cash is king. I'm sure he'll be back shortly with a GC or citizenship once a few envelopes with $ signs drawn on them have changed hands.

For gunny, the dictionary and the Urban Dictionary give valid (different) definitions.
