Beenie Manhas been denied entry into Canada. The self proclaimed 'King of the Dancehall' was due to perform on June 25 in Montreal but the event had to be cancelled due to the visa refusal from the Canadian Embassy in Jamaica.
MNI Alive obtained a copy of the press release that was sent out by the promoters explaning the cancellation of the Beenie Man show.
The press release stated,"Due to continued issues with Canadian Visa and Work Permit status for Beenie Man, we regretfully have to CANCEL this event."Beenie Man lost his US Visa last year and new Canadian regulations, implemented in April, have made it next to impossible for him to get a work permit for Canada.
"Please return your ticket to the person or location you bought it from for a refund. Our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Our intention was always to put on a great event for the dancehall community and we are dismayed that things have turned out this way in the end."
