Rapper Pa Salieu was cleared in March of engaging in violent disorder during a mass brawl in which his friend was stabbed to death. However, he was convicted of possessing a bottle as an offensive weapon.
British rapper Pa Salieu has told fans his planned performance at the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony has been axed due to a"failed background check".
Following a trial in March, Salieu, 24, was cleared of engaging in violent disorder during a mass brawl in which his friend Fidel Glasgow was stabbed to death. However, he was convicted of possessing a bottle as an offensive weapon and had previously admitted a second count of violent disorder relating to an attack on a man shortly after the fight.Sharing video footage from rehearsals for what would have been his Commonwealth Games performance, Salieu posted a message on Instagram to say he would no longer be appearing.
"Yesterday I received a call to say that I'm being removed from the show because I 'failed a background check'," he wrote."I can't keep being silent about this stuff."I've already had to cancel 90% of my shows this year because the Home Office won't process the paperwork I need to travel abroad until my court case is finished."More on Warwickshire
