A representative for Lil Wayne has dismissed reports alleging the rap superstar had a visa request to tour the U.K. denied by immigration officials, insisting...
Stereoboard.com claimed Wayne had had his work visa application rejected last month (Mar11) due to his recent eight-month prison stint for weapons possession.
But the hip-hop star's spokesperson has denied the allegations and expressed hopes to travel across the Atlantic in the coming months.
In a statement issued to WENN, Wayne's management says, "No visa was ever filed, nor were there any U.K. tour dates announced or tickets sold. Lil Wayne is currently headlining his I Am Still Music Tour across the U.S. and Canada with plans to extend the tour through North America this summer.
"We hope to bring the I Am Still Music Tour to the U.K. in the later half of the year."
