(CNN)London-born and Atlanta-raised rapper 21 Savage will be released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody on Wednesday morning after spending more than a week in ICE detention, his immigration attorney Charles Kuck said.

21 Savage, whose legal name is She'yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, will be released on bond, his attorney said.

The Grammy-nominated rapper was arrested February 3 by ICE, which said he was born in the United Kingdom and was in the United States illegally.

21 Savage's birth certificate says he was born in East London to British parents. He was brought to the United States at age 7 and in 2005 left before returning a month later, according to Kuck.

In 2006, 21 Savage's parents failed to renew his visa. He's been living in the United States illegally ever since, according to immigration officials.
