Demi Lovato went off Twitter after she faced flak for remarks over rapper 21 Savage's arrest by US immigration officials.

The singer courted controversy on Sunday during the 2019 Super Bowl when she made a comment about the recording artiste, who was taken into custody by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement following a "targeted operation" in Atlanta.

21 Savage is facing deportation. The Grammy-nominated rapper came to the US as a teenager in 2005 from the UK but did not leave when his visa expired a year later.

Taking a dig at the viral news of the rapper's arrest, Lovato tweeted, "So far 21 savage memes have been my favorite part of the Super Bowl."
The picture showed a person writing on paper with a feather-tip pen and a bottle of ink next to it, seemingly from the Victorian era. The meme was captioned, "This how 21 Savage be writing his verses."
