Rapper Lil Wayne Cancels UK Tour After Being Denied Entry By The Home Office
American rap artist Lil Wayne has announced that his long awaited UK Tour, set to start at the Strawberries and Cream Music Festival (SCMF), has been cancelled after being denied entry into the country.
The
Home Office denied Dwayne Michael Carter Jr's work visa at the last
minute, leaving both the rapper, SCMF organizers, and fans
disappointed with the decision.
The
Home Office stated the reason why the 39 year old was denied entry
was due to him serving eight months in prison for a 2010 firearms
charge.
This
hasn't been the first time Lil Wayne was denied entry into the UK.
SCMF
have announced that hip-hop artist Ludacris will take Lil Wayne's
place this Saturday.
