"To all the people who talked s—t to Demi you’re F—IN DISGUSTING," Rexha, 29, tweeted Monday. "Attacking someone that is 6 months sober about her personal issues with drugs and mental health over a tweet is LOW."

The tweet that caused the troll uproar against Lovato was relatively innocent. She wrote, "So far 21 Savage memes have been my favorite part of the Super Bowl."
She was flooded with responses referencing her battle with drug addiction and her near-fatal July 2018 overdose.
She then wrote, "F—k Twitter. This is why I don’t tweet anymore. If you’re gonna come at me for making a joke, try coming at me with something original not involving drugs."

21 Savage's attorney told press Monday, "ICE has not charged Mr. Abraham-Joseph with any crime. As a minor, his family overstayed their work visas, and he, like almost two million other children, was left without legal status through no fault of his own."
21 SAVAGE'S ATTORNEY SAYS RAPPER IS BEING 'UNNECESSARILY' PUNISHED AND INTIMIDATED
"This is a civil law violation, and the continued detention of Mr. Abraham-Joseph serves no other purpose than to unnecessarily punish him and try to intimidate him into giving up his right to fight to remain in the United States," the attorney said.
