American rapper Busta Rhymes has performed at a charity concert in London after overcoming his problems with British immigration.
Rhymes — whose real name is Trevor George Smith Jr. — performed at London’s Royal Albert Hall last night after winning a court order allowing him to stay in the country.
High Court judge Nicholas Stadlen gave the go-ahead, saying he did not want to disappoint 4,000 young people who won their tickets by performing community work.
Immigration officials stopped Rhymes on Thursday at London City Airport, with his promoters saying they cited previous legal trouble in the United States. In March a New York judge sentenced Rhymes to three years’ probation for assaulting his former driver and a fan.
