CBSA Comments on Turned Away Artists at Canadian Border

Posted | 0 comments

What do Young Jeezy, Yelawolf, Nipsey Hustle, French Montana and Meek Mill all have in common? If you live in the Greater Toronto Area, you won’t be seeing them in concert anytime soon.
After unfortunate incidents involving gunfire took place at the Young Jeezy concert in Toronto, Ontario on April 4th and in London, Ontario on April 5th, Canada’s Border Service Agency seems to be cracking down on hip-hop artists.

Read the CBSA statement below (emphasis added):

Please find the Canada Border Services Agency response to your questions regarding some hip-hop artists having been turned away while trying to enter Canada.
What we can tell you on entry requirements to Canada is that all persons seeking entry to Canada must demonstrate that they meet the requirements to enter and/or stay in Canada.
Admissibility of travelers seeking to enter Canada is considered on a case-by-case basis on the specific facts presented by the applicant in each case.
Reasons for inadmissibility include criminality, security, organized crime and non-compliance with the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. For more information on reasons for inadmissibility, you may wish to consult the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act -
http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/I-2.5/index.html (sections 33-42)
If you have committed or been convicted of a criminal offense, you may not be allowed to enter Canada. Criminal offences include both minor and serious offences, such as theft, assault, manslaughter, dangerous driving, and driving while under the influence of drugs and alcohol.
New regulations are in place related to certain foreign nationals who do not meet the requirements to overcome their criminal inadmissibility to be allowed to enter Canada with a one-time only, fee-exempt temporary resident permit.

Have any of these show cancellations affected you? Who were you looking forward to seeing?

Formally Malice From The Clipse: Name Change, Book and God

The Breakfast Club Interviews No Malice About Name Change, Book and God
By Vibe | March 2012

No Malice, formerly known as Malice of the Clipse, sat down with The Breakfast Club to discuss the new direction he’s taking with his life and music.

After watching many of his friends get locked up, the rapper chose to make a transformation with his music and leave his days of gangsta rap behind. “I think what my fans didn’t know, what they were witnessing was me battling myself,” he said. “I think the content of the stuff the Clipse always talked about, even though it’s very real, I think we did it too well and I think some people walked away with the wrong message from that especially seeing our friends, manager and people that we considered family get locked up. It was definitely an eye opener and I really don’t want to glorify that like that any longer.”

He also discussed his religious beliefs and the demons he battled, which he used to tell a story. His book, “Wretched, Pitiful, Poor Blind and Naked,” he says is “phenomenal.”

In addition to the book, the transformed rapper also has an upcoming solo mixtape and plans head out on tour.

No Malice even took a little time to freestyle and remind everybody that even though his message has changed, he’s still “street.” — Jazmine Gray

TTC Subway Sex Leads to Charges Against Couple

Posted | 0 comments

It gives a whole new meaning to riding the rocket.

A man and woman have been charged with engaging in a lewd act after a couple had sex on both a subway car and platform — in the middle of the afternoon.

The incident happened aboard a southbound train around 2:30 p.m. Sunday. A rider saw the couple — described as intoxicated and “old enough to know better” by TTC spokesman Brad Ross — having sex and just couldn’t ignore it.

“I wasn’t there, thankfully, but from what I understand, is a customer did activate the passenger assistance alarm,” said Ross. “They saw this couple engaged in I guess what would best be described as a lewd act.”

The train stopped and a TTC guard boarded and kicked the couple off at Spadina station.

But they clearly weren’t satisfied.

“Alcohol being a factor, they I guess decided they hadn’t completed their journey and continued on the platform,” Ross said.

A video apparently shot by a fellow passenger shows the train stopped as a man lies on top of a woman, moving rhythmically with his bare buttocks exposed. A TTC employee in a bright green jacket with reflective material stands at a reasonable distance on the yellow subway strip, and appears to curse at the couple to stop.

Ross said the video appears authentic, although he couldn’t access it from his TTC work computer.

Shortly after the train stopped at Spadina, police and EMS arrived on the platform. The couple was charged and transported to hospital due to their inebriation.

“People engaged in a sexual act on board a subway train in front of everybody else is not something the TTC… condones. Well, it is against the law,” said Ross.

Meantime, Toronto police have released the photo of a man suspected in two sexual assaults on the Bloor–Danforth subway line.

Police allege the man pretends to be asleep with a bag in his lap and then touches the thighs of nearby female passengers.

Strong rumors are buzzing over at AppleInsider that a new iPad 3 will be released in the summer, with the iPhone 5 following closely behind in the fall.

Japanese technology website Makotakara got word that the main carrier in Japan, NTT DOCOMO, is currently involved in negotiations with Apple to release the next generation iPad with integrated 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio technology. The upcoming iPhone 5 is also expected to have LTE connectivity.

The discussions with DOCOMO took place on Apple’s turf and some of the conditions are still under negotiation, but the top officials “agreed in principle” with the deal.
