Rapper BUSTA RHYMES has been allowed into the United Kingdom, after
spending hours detained at London's City Airport over "unresolved
convictions" in the U.S.

Immigration officials at the airport stopped Rhymes on Thursday
(25Sep08) morning and attempted to re-route the rapper to Amsterdam,
Holland - until Rhymes' lawyer secured an injunction preventing the
move.

After holding him for several hours, the authorities have now granted
the star permission to enter the country, where he is due to perform a
charity concert at London's Royal Albert Hall on Friday (26Sep08).

The 36-year-old's detention is thought to relate to previous
convictions for drink driving and assault. Oddly, there was no drama
when Rhymes, real name Trevor Smith, visited the U.K. just a month ago
(Aug08).

Stephen Greene, the man behind the rapper's charity concert for
RockCorps, says "(I'm) shocked at this sequence of events and this
treatment of Busta. He has the necessary work permit and has been in
the country twice already this year, so we're a little puzzled that a
question mark is now being placed over his ability to enter the
country."
