Rapper 21 Savage has been granted release from US custody on bond and will be freed on Wednesday in the lead-up to his deportation hearing, his lawyers say.
The 26-year-old, real name Shayaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, was arrested last week by US immigration agents.
They say he is British and in the US illegally.
He moved to the US in July 2005 aged 12 and failed to leave when his visa expired a year later, US officials say.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) say the musician is a convicted felon.
His lawyers have accused the US of trying to “intimidate” the rapper into leaving the country.
They say he arrived in the US from the UK in 1999, aged seven.
