21 Savage's debut studio album, Issa Album (2017), peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 and its lead single, "Bank Account" reached number 12 on the Hot 100. The same year, he would release the collaborative album with fellow Georgia rapper Offset titled Without Warning (2017), and have another hit guest feature with Post Malone's 2017 single "Rockstar", which reached number one on the Hot 100 and was nominated for Record of the Year and Best Rap/Sung Performance at the 2019 Grammy Awards. His second album, I Am > I Was (2018), became his first U.S. number-one album and spawned the hit song "A Lot" (featuring J. Cole), which won Best Rap Song at the 2020 Grammy Awards. He and Metro Boomin would release a sequel to their breakout EP with Savage Mode II (2020), which also debuted atop the Billboard 200 and spawned the U.S. top 10 singles "Runnin" and "Mr. Right Now" (featuring Drake). In 2022, 21 Savage was featured on Drake's song "Jimmy Cooks" from his album Honestly, Nevermind , where it debuted at number one on the Hot 100, making it 21 Savage's second number one on the chart and his first number-one debut.

21 Savage was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on February 3, 2019. Officials revealed his status as a British citizen who entered the U.S. in July 2005 and unlawfully overstayed a H-4 visa that expired in 2006. He was granted bond on February 12 and released the next day, pending the outcome of an expedited deportation hearing, which was initially scheduled for April 9, but was later postponed indefinitely, with 21 Savage's lawyers stating he was legally residing in the U.S. for several years prior to the 2005 H-4 visa. In 2023, 21 Savage announced he had become a lawful permanent resident of the United States and had received his green card.
