Ja Rule Banned From Australia
The Inc rapper/singer Ja Rule can’t catch a break. The latest chapter in his turbulent career sees him being refused entry to Australia, due to their extremely harsh immigration policies – especially in regards to hip-hop artists with criminal history.
This isn’t the first time Australia has banned an international hip-hop artist, as they refused entry to Snoop Dogg in 2007 after he was booked to host the MTV Australia Video Music Awards. In response, Snoop and MTV started an online campaign to try to make him an Aussie citizen. (There’s been no word as to whether Snoop is following through with this!)
Also, with The Game scheduled to perform Down Under in the next two weeks, should Jayceon be worried that his visa is going to be caught up in political red tape?
While it does seem excessive to deny the R-U-L-E entry to Australia, the first time he toured wasn’t without drama, as his bodyguards were involved in a physical confrontation with an Adelaide club DJ who played a 50 Cent record while Ja was in the venue.
But having said that, is any country really scared to let Ja Rule and Snoop Dogg visit? Really? (Especially a country that was founded by the British as a place to send all their criminals!)
We’ll give the last word to Dave Chappelle, who simply asks on behalf of all Aussies: “Where is Ja?”
Nice one. Bring Chappelle’s Show Back! He’s hilarious and we need him just like we need Lauryn Hill.
Aww that’s really ashame and out of all people they banning JaRule just for being a hip hop artist…Really? I mean where is the justice?!
That’s messed up, but it’s ja rule… cmon. I say let snoop in damnit. Off topic though, I want a koala bear.
Koala bear? Why Rick? Will I’m servin the U.S. from Japan right now, maybe I’ll see what I can do, lol. Too bad about Ja but then again oh well. Gotta respect their wishes, I mean you can’t go there and act any kind of way and expect a invitation back.
Um, your country dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima, All countries have incidents in their history which are better left unsaid.
I think its a bit rich for you to comment on us not letting an artist with serious criminal offences to his name into our country, considering with even a low level drink driving crime on a record will deny you ever gaining a working holiday visa to the US if you wish to visit and work in America.
I dont see how it should be any different for us, and in anycase. Australians don’t really like your bland taste of hip hop, it isnt relevant to us, we much prefer Aussie hip hop.
What is Aussie hip hop is there a Aussie JayZ????
Chris umm, I don’t know how to say this but… I’m Aussie. And if you actually read the article it’s more sympathetic to Ja’s situation than anything.
I think Jarule should ban himself from music period..Hes hot Garbage!
Tell em leon cuz Ja need all the money hit can get lol Amazing how we still cant take this guy serious anymore. I thought USA is the land of second chances not anymore…
Ok I’m not even getting into the bomb thing, all I gotta say about that is read the whole history on that. While your at it read the history of japanese with koreans, japanese with chinese etc. My point is it’s not like the bomb was droped on a country of nuns. I think their over it now and you should be too. Let’s time warp to now shall we.
Oh and veronica. Because their just just awesome. Even though it would probably tear my place apart lol.
we should ban ja rule!!!!!
Maybe the Aussie’s just know alittle bit about Hip-hop because Ja’s trash!!!!! I think he should of been banned from LIFE after that duet wit Mary J. Blidge.
