Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Denied Entry Into Canada - Cancels Canadian Tour Dates

Hip-hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony were denied entry into Canada early Wednesday morning (January 30), as they prepared to head on a sold out tour through the country, BallerStatus.com learned.

The group said they were told their entry into Canada was denied by Customs officials because their music was “too violent,” which they cannot understand.

“We never had a problem going over there, but all of the sudden, they talking the music is too violent,” said Krayzie Bone. “I’m like ‘Man, that’s crazy because we doing the same music we’ve done every time we came over there and nothing never happened.’”

The group was scheduled to leave for Canada Wednesday morning for five sold out dates — including stops in Calgary, Vancouver and Winnipeg — but got the bad news from the tour’s promoter just before they were preparing to leave.

“We was supposed to leave this morning and the promoter told us he was having trouble getting us cleared to enter the country,” explained Krayzie. “We was on stand by, and he was gonna let us know what was going on this morning at 8 a.m. He said he went to the Councilor and everything, and they was like ‘We was high risk of coming over there,’ ‘they didn’t wanna take the risk,’ ‘they didn’t want it on their hands if something happened,’ and everything.”
