Rapper Busta Rhymes has been allowed into the United Kingdom, after spending hours detained at London's City Airport over "unresolved convictions" in the U.S.
*** Original Story ***
Busta Rhymes has been detained after landing in London City Airport having been refused entry into the Britain.
The rapper is in London to perform at a charity concert at the Royal Albert Hall called RockCorp tomorrow.
But he has been held at the airport due to "unresolved convictions" in the US.
According to reports, immigration officials wanted to send the 36-year-old on a plane to Amsterdam but his legal team intervened and secured an injunction preventing this.
Although Rhymes was arrested on drink driving charges in New York in May last year, it is not stated whether this is the reason as the rapper has already entered the country twice already this year to promote Rockcorp.
Stephen Greene, the co-founder of RockCorp, said he was "shocked at this sequence of events and this treatment of Busta".
"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 to volunteers."
