Waka Flocka Flame's Down Under tour has reportedly been postponed. Reps for the Atlanta rapper recently released a statement.
It was initially reported by Billboard that the Australian government denied the rapper entry due to his recent drugs and gun offenses.
"Unfortunately Waka Flocka's entry into Australia was denied by the Australian Government Department of Immigration and Border Protection, due to his recent arrest(s) on both firearms and drug charges," tour promoter Robin Fernando said in a message posted on Facebook.
The "Hard in the Paint" rapper was slated to hit four cities in Australia and another two in New Zealand starting later this month.
According to Fernando, fans who already purchased tickets will be notified prior to the new dates being announced and will be guaranteed presale passes.
Matt Adler, Waka's rep of Paradigm Agency, released a statement to XXL denying that his client was denied entry into the country.
"Waka Flocka Flame nor anyone involved with this tour has been denied entry into Australia. Anything to the contrary is simply not true. These shows have been postponed while the respective visa applications are pending approval."
As previously reported, Waka last tried to get Down Under for a tour during early 2014, however those plans were cancelled during December of 2013.
Last month, Waka Flocka announced that his Flockaveli 2 will definitely be released in June. When asked what fans can expect, he said he's catering to those who love his underground sound.
"I feel like this album I'm going to just give them the underground sh*t," he said. "I really don't do the radio so you know how we rock."
