SA reacts to Mos Def’s ‘No More Parties in SA’

The rapper was arrested last week for allegedly travelling with a fraudulent passport. He opened up about his detainment in a message posted on Kanye West’s website. He freestyles Kanye West’s No More Parties in LA and change the LA to SA.

He further raps “I’ve committed no crime/ Why’s the state wasting my time/ They must be out of their minds,” Bey raps, later adding, “This is not an expression of fear/ This is just to make things clear/ My intentions are pure in coming here.”

Director General in the Department of Home Affairs, Mkuseli Apleni Department will on Wednesday afternoon provide more details on matters related to the arrest of Mos Def.

Yasiin Bey can leave our country. Illegal entry is just that, ain't nothing political or injustice about his arrest. Hamba!!!

Imagine. Your personal philosophy, no matter how lovely and ideal and wholesome, don't trump our laws. What?? #NoMorePartiesInSA
