The Game Arrested in Canada, Detained For 14 Days.

April 21, 2011

Black Wall Street CEO is to cancel all scheduled dates up north.

The Ex G-Unit Member, The Game, the rapper, left L.A. on Wednesday on a flight bound for Canada, where he believed his trip would involved him performing some previously scheduled concerts and then heading home. Unfortunately when he arrived in Canada he found a world of headaches and customs problems awaiting him. The California rapper was refused entry to the country, for currently undisclosed reasons, and then informed that he would be detained for two weeks until he could go before a judge.

On Twitter, Game vent his frustration. In a series of tweets he lashed out at Canadian customs, saying, “Customs officials just denied me entry into Canada. I’m sorry 2 ALL my fans but I was mislead by promoters & assured I would be able 2 enter. I’m being detained in Canada for 14 days until they process my inadmissibility then I’ll have a hearing heard by a judge. At that point the judge will decide to either deport me or give me a sentence for violating Canada’s immigrant entry laws. Fucked up situation !!! But at least they let me call home, & tweet before they lock a n**ga up!!! Gotta turn in my property, y’all be kool… Gotta give up my phone & property. This some straight bullshit ! Flew all the way from LA to be denied and detained?!?!”

However, L.A. Weekly contacted Canadian border officials and were informed that the rapper would not be held for the full two weeks. The official response the paper received is as follows: “While the Privacy Act prevents me from discussing the specifics of an individual case, I can tell you that your information is not consistent with ours. In addition, when a foreign national is detained, they must have a detention review hearing before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) within 48 hours of their detention.” We will keep you updated as this story develops.

UPDATE
Recently Detained Rapper The Game Comes Out On Stage With Lil Wayne…

Amid conflicting reports that he was denied entry and subsequently detained at Canadian borders while on his “Red Nation” tour, it appears that former 50 Cent protégé The Game is no longer under the authority of our neighbors to the north. The Documentary rapper graced the stages of the Honda Center in Anaheim, California alongside Young Money chief Lil Wayne during a stop on the “I Am Still Music” tour last night (April 22), thrilling fans into a wild frenzy.

Website Rap-Up uploaded a video of the performance of The Game’s track “My Life,” which features an auto-tuned Lil Wayne on the hook. The Game came on stage rocking his customary red bandana on his face, snatching it off to reveal himself with Weezy introducing the surprise guest to the audience. Both rappers wore red Converse shoes, and the self-proclaimed Chuck Taylor tossed his bandana into the crowd and cocked his hat back and launched into a powerful performance of the song.

A heavy user of the social media tool Twitter, The Game was curiously absent from the site as he was supposedly handling his issues with Canadian authorities. A statement from the promoters of the tour stressed that The Game was detained for reasons not linked to the rapper’s past or current criminal activity. “We as the Canadian promoters for the “Red Nation” tour featuring hip-hop artist The Game, completed all necessary work permits and paperwork to allow him entry into Canada,” shared The Substance Group in a statement.

The promoters went on to add, “The past criminal history of The Game was never addressed in conversation with Canadian officials and at no point was that the issue for his denied entry,” read the statement. “Customs insisted the reason was strictly his current gang affiliations.” Whatever the case may be, Canadian officials are remaining tight-lipped about what they uncovered and why the Compton native was barred from entering the country.
