Lawyer says rapper 21 Savage freed from immigration custody
Report: 7 women claim singer Ryan Adams was inappropriate
A New York Times report says seven women have claimed singer-songwriter Ryan Adams offered to help them with their music careers but then turned things sexual, and he sometimes was verbally abusive.
In the story published Wednesday, a 20-year-old female musician said Adams, 44, had inappropriate conversations with her while she was 15 and 16. Identified by her middle name, Ava, she said that Adams exposed himself during a video call.
Adams’ ex-wife, actress and singer Mandy Moore, said Adams was psychologically abusive toward her throughout their marriage. Their divorce was official in 2016.
The Times said the accounts have been corroborated by family members or friends who were present at the time. Adams’ lawyer denied the claims to the Times. After the article was published, Adams tweeted Wednesday that “I am not a perfect man and I have made many mistakes.”
“To anyone I have ever hurt, however unintentionally, I apologize deeply and unreservedly,” he wrote.
Grammy-nominated rapper 21 Savage was released Wednesday from an immigration detention center in Georgia, his lawyers said. The rapper, whose given name is She’yaa Bin Abraham-joseph, was released on $100,000 bond, immigration lawyer Tia Smith said in an email. He had been held in the Irwin County Detention Center in Ocilla.
Abraham-joseph was arrested Feb. 3 in a targeted operation, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has said. An immigration judge on Tuesday granted him bond.
