Canadian Officials Show No Love For G-Unit
While 50 Cent obtained a temporary resident's permit to go on his Canadian tour, the majority of G-Unit's artists were recently turned down at the border.
50 embarked on his Canadian tour with a date in Vancouver on December 3. Word is Lloyd Banks, Mase and Olivia were the only G-Unit artists to make it past Canadian customs. Tony Yayo, Mobb Deep, M.O.P. and Young Buck were all denied entry into the country.
Rising gun violence in Toronto has caused Canadian authorities to be cautious regarding the admission of rappers into the country. Reports say rappers with criminal records now need to obtain a special permit to cross the border.
The aforementioned artists were likely refused access into the country due to past legal trouble. Though undermanned, Fiddy still took the stage and told fans he had a hard time making it to the venue.
"Somebody got shot the other day and they said it was my fault and didn't want to let me in the country," he told the crowd. "I was in immigration for about two hours today and I thought about turning back. Young Buck got turned back. And Tony Yayo, Mobb Deep and M.O.P. But I stuck it out . . . Fuck the police!"
50 is set to conclude his Canadian tour with dates in Halifax, Saint John, Quebec City, Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa.
