The rapper, whose real identity is She'yaa bin Abraham-Joseph was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers February 3, 2019.

Kuck stated that he believes the arrest was made at ICE officials' request. The agency officials didn't respond to Thursday night's requests for comment.
Kuck stated in a statement that the warrant appeared to be sought by ICE because it was issued on the eve ICE's Immigration Court hearing in Mr. Joseph’s deportation proceeding. It is based on events that occurred over two and one-half years ago when ICE arrested Mr. Joseph.
