Numero001 Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Rapper Rhymes detained at airport Rhymes is known for hits including Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See Rapper Busta Rhymes has been detained at London's City Airport after being refused entry to the UK because of "unresolved convictions" in the US. The star arrived on Thursday morning to perform at a charity gig on Friday. Immigration officials tried to put him on an immediate flight out of the country to Amsterdam but Rhymes' lawyer secured an injunction preventing this. The 36-year-old is now being held while officials debate whether to let him enter the UK, the gig's organiser said. Rhymes is due to play at RockCorp, a concert to be attended by a full house of 5,000 music fans at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Each fan has obtained their ticket by spending four hours volunteering in community projects. 'Shocked' US soul star John Legend is also due to appear, as are rock bands Feeder, The Automatic and Guillemots. Rhymes was allowed into the UK to launch the event on 17 August, which saw him helping to pick up litter in London. Stephen Greene, the co-founder of RockCorps, 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." Rapper Ludacris was flying in from the US "at the eleventh hour" and would replace Rhymes on the bill if necessary, Mr Greene added. Injunction The star arrived at the airport at 0726 BST, RockCorps said in a statement. "His lawyer, Philip Trott, intervened and presented papers in support of Busta's case for entry. "The immigration authorities repeated he was to be denied entry and made arrangements to fly him back to Amsterdam on a flight at 0930. "Contact was made with the duty High Court judge, Mr Justice Flaux, who granted an injunction at 0858 to prevent Busta being returned to Amsterdam." The statement continued: "He is currently detained pending a decision on temporary admission by the immigration officer. "Documents are being prepared to apply for judicial review as early as possible today." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7635992.stmDidnt read the article but I doubt it'll stop his performances. Just read it, if Luda comes thats a par. I'm tryna think when he last came here, I dont recall him ever performing here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstition Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Stevie killed it yesterday. Let it never be said that complaining gets you nowhere - my seats were f*ck*ng top notch, on the floor in front of the stage, middle block. Particularly enjoyed the 'Price: 0.00' on the ticket, things are so much sweeter when they're free The sound was excellent, much to my relief, and as a bonus I was sat directly in front of Omid Djalili, who's one of my favourite comedians.The set list was largely the same as the one Stat posted from Sep 11th, except Joss Stone randomly came out for Signed, Sealed, Delivered (wtf). Also had a few random interludes where he played about on the talkbox, and some real nice band jams (which he might've done last time, but I would've missed them while complaining about the sound). I sang myself hoarse and danced myself to exhaustion. Best show I've seen since Prince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
