According to Game, he trusted the concert promoters to handle his previous visa issues. He now faces possible jail time or deportation after a hearing. He expects to be detained for at least two weeks.

“I’m sorry to all my fans but I was mislead by promoters and assured I would be able to enter,” he said. “I’m being detained in Canada for 14 days until they process my inadmissability [sic] then I’ll have a hearing heard by a judge.”

Game’s case marks the third time in recent motnhs that Hip-Hop artists have been turned back at the border. Swollen Members, Cam’Ron and Vado were all denied entry for previous criminal convictions.
