London (ANI): British immigration officials yesterday detained American rapper Busta Rhymes for 11 hours at London City airport, ahead of his scheduled headline appearance at the first UK Orange RockCorps show. Rhymes was detained because of “unresolved convictions” in the US, and tried to have him deported after he arrived in London for the Orange RockCorps volunteering initiative.

However, a High Court judge ordered the musician’s immediate release last night, but that was after a fierce legal battle over his right to enter Britain. The 36-year-old singer was stopped shortly after he landed at 7.26am at London. Officials had made prior arrangement to deport him back to Amsterdam, from where he had just arrived, on a 9.30am flight.
