21 Savage Has Reportedly Been Arrested By ICE In Atlanta

21 Savage was arrested in Atlanta today and taken into custody for possible removal from the U.S.

According to Atlanta's WSBTV, ICE officials say, Savage, whose real name is Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, is a U.K. national who entered the U.S. legally in 2005 but "subsequently failed to depart under the terms of his nonimmigrant visa."

He reportedly is being held for removal proceedings ... this for being in the country illegally and for being a felon.  He was convicted of drug charges in 2014.

His attorney, Dina LaPolt, tells TMZ, "We are working diligently to get Mr. Abraham-Joseph out of detention while we work with authorities to clear up any misunderstanding.  Mr. Abraham-Joseph is a role model to the young people in the country -- especially in Atlanta, Georgia and is actively working in the community leading programs to help underprivileged youths in financial literacy."
