LIL WAYNE has been denied a visa by the UK government, according to media reports.

The rapper’s criminal record is thought to have been the bugbear of immigration authorities, says the MTV website, quoting stereoboard.com as its source.

Lil Wayne spent time inside last year on a firearms possession rap and has been arrested for possession of marijuana on several occasions.

Assuming today’s stories are correct, the authorities have effectively scuppered Lil Wayne’s plans to bring his current I Am Still Music tour to Britain and that is likely to have knock-on effects for dates in the rest of Europe.
