Foota Hype is in good spirits despite being detained.
Foota Hype is reportedly in good spirits despite remaining in custody at the Krome Service Processing Center in Miami.
The controversial disc jock has reportedly opted to remain in custody at the immigration holding facility, as he seeks to address his immigration status.
“Foota Hype is in great spirits, laughing and joking as usual. Sometimes I have to remind myself that he is really in Krome because he’s in such good spirits. He has a clean record, he did not do anything wrong. So he is not worried, he has been in frequent contact with his wife, they are good. She will be in court to support him once ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] grants him a court date. The lawyer said it would take anywhere between 30 to 60 days to get a court date,” a source told the Jamaica Observer.
Last week several reports emerged that Foota’s wife had filed for divorce, and that he may be deported. However, they claim that these allegations are nothing but rumours.
“Even though Foota and his wife may be estranged, they have been in communication with each other almost every day. Foota Hype is not under any removal or deportation order so he is just waiting to be assigned a court date,” the source said.
Foota Hype’s legal team is reportedly optimistic about his securing his immigration status.
According to legal experts, although divorce may complicate permanent residency, it is still possible. They say once Foota Hype can prove that he got married “in good faith” he still has a solid case.
Foota hype was detained by immigration officers at Port Everglades Seaport aboard the Independence of the Seas, from Falmouth, Jamaica.
