In America, Lil Wayne was welcomed back from an eight-month prison stay with parties, as some fans even camped outside Rikers Island awaiting his release. Former President, Bill Clinton was even one of Wayne’s well-wishers. In the United Kingdom bureaucrats at the UK Border Agency met the multiplatinum rapper with rejection as he filed a visa application to bring his top-grossing “I Am Still Music” tour to Europe.
Wayne was expected to perform in a series of European dates, but the Border Agency rejected his application based on his criminal history. In addition to the prison stint, Wayne has drug charges that date back to 2007. The drug charges presumably wouldn’t be an issue, since Wayne is under a probationary order that prevents him from drinking alchohol or taking illegal drugs without returning to prison.
There is a precedent for similar visa denials. Snoop Dogg was banned from the UK after an incident at London’s Heathrow Airport. In 2008, Busta Rhymes was similarly denied entry into the UK due to a weapons possession charged that was then unresolved in the states.
WHAT ABOUT WILLIE NELSON????????
FUCK THE UK MFUKA
So just becuz the uk is f-ing lil wayne he wont tour the rest of europe ?
Ahhh those (*&^(*&%#
“Due to his criminal charges” Nah, the real reason is UK supports real hip-hop a hell of a lot more than america does. So of course why would they want wayne there? Big ups to UK!
GET THE F*CK OUTTA HERE. THE UK SUPPORTS REAL HIP HOP BIG UP TO THE UK…WOWSERS. F*CK OUTTA HERE.
I dont think any parts of the world outside of America want anything to do with lil wayne/young money/rick ross/any other minstrel show music.
completely agree with you, europe doesn’t give a shit, or at least I dont being European. But this goes to show the man’s a b*tch n***a.
Funny but true.
Most of Lil Wayne’s fans are white. (aka European)
White Europeans and white Americans are completely different.
Shame he’s not an impoverished person from Eastern Europe with kids looking for benefits and a free house otherwise he’d be straight in.
hahahahahahahaha. true
now i dont have to hear one more word bout wayne being in the illuminati.. if he was, then that nigga would be tourin in europe.. STOP WITH THAT BULLSHIT!!!!! (ps: i know no one on this post said anything about that, but i hear it all over and i just wanted to get that shit out. peace and love…)
That’s the first I’ve heard anybody say lil Wayne is illuminati. His music does help the illuminati though. Dumb down the masses and keeps their minds occupied on bullshit.
What a bitch this man, screwing over all his fans cause only 1 government doesnt want to let him in.
Shows how little he cares about his fans.
only in it for the cash money..

In Europe we need that real Hip Hop music
Come on Americans, loose that type of ”no talent” losers
Rappers used to keep it real
Nowadays 70% is fake as F#CK!!!
co-sign.
probably didnt sell enough tickets.
Europe is more than UK.
I understand where your comin from, but as far as hip hop goes, lately we’ve been gettin back to the gutter side, no thanks to CMYM.
UK Artist like Rhyme Asylum and Lowkey are dope, but as far as wack rappers you also got Tinie Tempah.
Its good his ass cant come here, let this nigga come Stratford Rex again and I garuntee niggas r gonna chuck glass bottles at this lame ass rapper…
good thing hes not coming. hes not a superstar like everything thinks he is. he just famous in America. hes not Eminem, Kanye West or Jay-Z.
stay the fuck away. wayne has no worldwide hits or albums period.
now i dont love Wayne. but sounds like he woulda made more money if he hadnt tryd to look tough. oh and BTW he cant leave the states unless someone higher up says he can. soo bye T.i. bye Boosie, Bye R-truth{if you like wrestling} bye all kinds of shit. might as well say “no blacks” cuz it seems most of em in prison anyways. see. im not a racist i am white. but why try and defend the race if most of em fuck up. i think the prison system is fucked up. not just towards blacks (dont be a fuckin victim) but to all. if you goto prison, and you come back they call it a second chance. but no, you can hardly get a job. worse then us teenagers or hard working adults have. the Government believes in one chance. after that you suffer. atleast in the pen you got work
hahahaha do ur best”
all the europeans here talking shit about wayne, I’m not saying he is a good rapper but I know that if he was to come to the uk his shows will be sold out – no thrown glasses attached.
Lil Wayne would sell out shows ANYWHERE he goes. Greatest rapper in the world.
