Looks like the show will go on!
Busta Rhymes has been busted out of a London airport detention center by a British High Court judge.
For those of you who need a catch up, Busta arrived in London earlier today, Thursday, to take part in a charity concert for community volunteers scheduled for tomorrow, Friday. The UK’s boarder control people barred him from entry because of some ‘unresolved convictions’ in the US and were set to send him back to Amsterdam.While the powers that be were determining his fate, reports say the rapper was kept in a room measuring 7ft by 8ft under the eyes of five armed police officers.
Scary!!!
The co-founder of the charity group who arranged for Busta’s trip to the UK said, “We’re shocked at this sequence of events and this treatment of Busta. He has the necessary work-permit and has been in the country twice already this year, so we’re a little puzzled that a question mark is now being placed over his ability to enter the country to perform to volunteers.”
Lawyers who worked on Busta’s behalf in the UK have argued that his detention was unlawful.
A judge has ordered a speedy hearing, likely to take place on Friday, to hear the Busta team’s application for permission to bring a judicial review challenge of the legality of his detention.
