Black celebrities banned or barred from travel in foreign countries

50 Cent - Dream School Cover

50 Cent

Sometimes what makes you famous can also get you in trouble, at least in Canada. 50 Cent was banned because of the contents of his lyrics.  Canadian official Foreign Minister Dan McTeague refused him entry into Canada stating “I do want the laws of Canada to apply to anybody who is a criminal, an admitted criminal, as Mr. Curtis Jackson —known as 50 Cent — is … under our laws, he would be deemed criminally inadmissible.”
