The international leg of Lil Wayne's "I Am Music Tour" faces more troubles, as the rapper could also be banned from performing a pair of shows in Canada.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Lil Wayne's planned tour of Europe was scrapped, after officials in the United Kingdom refused to issue the New Orleans rapper a work permit due to his criminal record.
A spokesman for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) told the Calgary Sun that Lil Wayne may not be admitted into the country for a show slated for April 27th in Vancouver and another one in Calgary on April 29th.
"A person's admissibility to Canada is determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the information given to officers," CBSA spokesperson Lisa White told The Calgary Sun.
"A criminal conviction can make a person inadmissible to Canada ... a final decision is made by an officer at a border crossing or airport," White said.
White told the Sun that a superstar like Lil Wayne may have already applied for, and received, clearance to perform in the country.
Lil Wayne served 8 months in prison on Rikers Island for gun possession. He also was sentenced to three-years probation for drug possession in Arizona.
