Tweeting the news, Game also told his fans he would be locked up for two weeks.

“Customs officials just denied me entry into Canada. I’m sorry 2 ALL my fans but I was mislead by promoters & assured I would be able 2 enter”
“This just in: I’m being detained in Canada for 14 days until they process my inadmissability then I’ll have a hearing heard by a judge.”
“At that point the judge will decide to either deport me or give me a sentence for violating Canada’s immigrant entry laws.”
“F%cked up situation !!! But at least they let me call home, & tweet before they lock a n!gga up !!! Gotta turn in my property, y’all be kool”
“Gotta give up my phone & property. This some straight bullshit ! Flew all the way from LA to be denied and detained ?!?! WTF” (Game’s Twitter)
Last December, Dipset’s Cam’ron and Vado were banned from entering Canada after a run-in with customs.

While waiting in customs, Killa publicly released a video alongside Vado apologizing to his Canadian fans.
“We in customs, they just shut us down,” Cam said via video. “See the flag? Shut me down. This my deejay. This the only dude that made it. Ain’t got a misdemeanor. There goes the flag. This go the country that did it to us — Montreal, we sorry. We in Torontocustoms. Sorry about that. Love y’all Montreal.” (Twit Vid)
Outside of immigration complications, Game is currently preparing his upcoming R.E.D. Album.
“The ‘R.E.D.’ album is going to remind everybody of what hip-hop is supposed to be in its prime,” says Game. “The ‘R.E.D.’ album will be the best album this year hands down. There’s nobody putting out an album this year that will even be able to compete with the skill level– the bar is gonna be set after this album drops. I guarantee it now from start to finish.” (Billboard)
