Lil Wayne denied entry to U.K. according to U.K. festival organizers

Lil Wayne has been barred from entering the U.K., according to the organizers of a festival he was due to headline this coming weekend. A statement from Strawberries & Creem festival alleged that the Home Office took the "last minute decision" to turn Wayne away, leaving him unable to perform what would have been his first U.K. show in 14 years. Organizers said they are "deeply disappointed by this sudden and negative ruling." The FADER has reached out to Wayne's reps and the U.K. Home Office for more information.

Strawberries & Creem organizers have replaced Lil Wayne with Ludacris as the headliner on Saturday, June 18. Ticket holders can also now attend the Sunday (featuring headliner Tems) for free.
