Only 50 Cent and G-Unit members Olivia and Lloyd Banks were allowed to enter Canada for his Canadian tour, as the rest of the artists on the rapper’s label – Tony Yayo, Mobb Deep, M.O.P. and Young Buck – were denied entry into the country because of their criminal records.
50 was able to gain entry only after obtaining a temporary resident permit.
On stage at his first tour stop, 50 vented about his immigration frustrations to the crowd.
"Somebody got shot the other day and they said it was my fault and didn't want to let me in the country,” he said. “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 Cent is scheduled to wrap his Canadian tour in Ottawa on Dec. 21. The rapper will launch a tour of New Zealand and Australia in February.
