Busta Wins Court Battle

Rapper to play charity show
26 September 2008 - Busta Rhymes has won his high court battle to perform at a charity concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall tonight (26 th Sept 08).

He went into the high court in London at two o'clock today and his lawyers had been arguing his case all afternoon.

This comes after he spent 11 hours yesterday in custody. He was stopped as he arrived at London City Airport yesterday morning by armed guards over his US convictions.

The rap star has already been in the country twice this year, including a visit to highlight the Rock Corp concert a few months ago.

The event’s organiser, Steven Greene, has said that all the publicity surrounding Busta’s detention is a mixed blessing.

He told 6 Music: “I want everyone to know about the young people and the work they have done in the community, but Busta had to sit in a detention room for 12 hours yesterday.”
