Tekashi 6ix9ine just kicked off his "World Domination" tour earlier this week. The rapper is doing a run throughout Europe and touching down in most major cities across the continent. The tour kicked off in Bratislava, Slovakia last Friday and he was expected to touch down in the UK today for two shows in London and Manchester. Unfortunately, the rapper's been forced to postpone the concert after he was denied entry into the country.

Tekashi 6ix9ine was turned away at the U.K. border, forcing him to postpone two of his concerts in the country. Victoria Warehouse in Manchester issued an official statement regarding his concert.

"It is with regret that we announce the postponement of the Tekashi 6ix9ine concert on Friday, June 22nd 2018." It read, "It has been confirmed that Tekashi 6ix9ine has been refused entry to the United Kingdom by UK Border Control, on arrival into the country this morning."

Tekashi 6ix9ine also shared an update with his fans on Instagram and revealed that he'll be postponing the London and Manchester shows until the end of the tour. The rapper's tour was expected to end the tour in Belgium on July 6th but it looks like he'll be extending that a bit further if the UK Border Control lets him through. At this point, the reason why he was denied entry is unknown but we'll keep you updated.
