Rapper detained at London's City Airport
Thursday, 25 September 2008
Busta Rhymes has been banned from coming into the country.
The rapper is being held at London's City Airport after officials refused him entry because of alleged 'unresolved convictions' in the States.
They tried to put him on a flight to Amsterdam, but his lawyer secured an injunction preventing this.
Busta, 36, arrived this morning, as he's due to play at the Orange RockCorps charity gig at the Royal Albert Hall tomorrow.
'He has the necessary work permit and has been in the country twice already this year, so we're a little puzzled that a question mark is now being placed over his ability to enter the country to perform,' Stephen Greene, co-founder of RockCorps, tells the BBC.
He is currently awaiting a decision on temporarily admission to the UK, but US rapper Ludacris is reportedly flying in to replace him on the bill if needed.
