Beenie Man Misses OVO Fest Show With Zika Virus

In the title of his upcoming album, Beenie Man labels himself Unstoppable — ,but that was apparently before he met Canadian border officials.

The dancehall legend was denied a visa to enter into Canada for his OVO Fest concert in Toronto on Saturday (July 30) because of health issues.

In a post on Instagram, Beenie Man said he’d contracted both Zika and Dengue from a mosquito and that he was undergoing blood tests, injections and pills. Typical symptoms of the viruses include fever and headaches.
