Brooklyn-born rapper Yasiin Bey has released a message about his detention in South Africa with the help of his friend Kanye West’s website.
Echoing West’s new song about Los Angeles, Bey began a freestyle with lines saying there would be “no more parties in South Africa.”
The hip-hop artist who formerly performed as Mos Def was detained for
using a “world passport” when he tried to leave the country where he has
been living for a show in Ethiopia.
South Africa’s
Department of Home Affairs had said that the actor born as Dante Smith
entered the nation in 2013 as an American, but then overstayed his visa
along with members of his family.
