Yasiin Bey is in a bit of a quagmire.

Together Boston, the music festival in the United States that Mos Def Yasiin Bey was set to perform at on May 15th, missed one of its headlining acts because Bey wasn’t allowed back into the United States. An official statement from the organization that curated the festival reads as follows:


We regret to inform you that due to immigration / legal issues Yasiin Bey is unable to enter back into the United States and his upcoming U.S. tour has been canceled, including May 15th, Together Boston’s show at The Wilbur Theatre. Individual ticket refunds for this show are available at point of sale.

Interesting. At this time, there isn’t much more information available, but as of today, it appears that Bey still has the same problems. We’ll have a update as soon as one becomes available.
