Mos Def (Yasiin Bey) Maintains South Africa Allegations Are False

(AllHipHop News) The Mighty Yasiin Bey is not going down without a fight.

The rapper, also known as Mos Def, was reportedly told he must leave South Africa, where he and his family maintain residency.

However, the rapper is speaking out through a representative.

[ALSO READ: Mos Def Arrested In South Africa]

OkayAfrica.com spoke to an unnamed person that represents the artist that says the reports are all wrong.
Below is a part of the Q&A interview.

What is your take on the allegations?
From what I’ve read their allegations are wrong. He attempted to leave the country for a professional commitment and was denied the ability to board an airplane after providing his World Passport.

Why does he have a World Passport?

It’s issued by the World Service —in support of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. His understanding is that the South African government has previously accepted the World Passport to enter the country and to provide visas as recently as August.

Are there political reasons he prefers not to use his US passport?

Social and political, yes. He shouldn’t be forced to use his US passport.

Was he attempting to leave the country?

He was leaving with two people. He was heading to the Selam Music Festival [in Ethiopia]. He was scheduled to perform on the 10th. He tried to leave on the 9th but they wouldn’t let him board the plane. They violated his human right to pursue his profession.

How long was detained for?

He was detained for two nights at least.

What is his position now?

He’s down there to produce and to act in some motion pictures, three of which are slated to film in South Africa this year.

Is he in the country legally?

It’s my understanding that he is.

Male M########### Booths Come To New York

Men are a perverted lot and New York recognizes this more than anybody. In a new social experiment, a company has rolled out GuyFi, a place where men can m######### during the work day.

Adam Lewis,Hot Octopuss co-founder, says:

“There’s no denying that working a nine to five job can be stressful on both your mind and body, especially in a non-stop city like Manhattan. It’s really important for guys to look after themselves so that they can stay healthy and focus properly on the task in hand. We’re told time and time again how beneficial it is to have a break away from your desk. At Hot Octopuss we are all about looking for new solutions to improve everyday life and we feel we’ve done just that with the new GuyFi booth. We hope the city’s men enjoy using the space we’ve created in whatever way they want. It’s completely free of charge… all that we ask is they thank us when they get their promotion!”

This is a bit crazy, but some of the stats support the need for the GuyFi booth. They say 39% of men choke the chicken during work hours to relief stress. Also, in New York a lot of dude are wacking off in weird places like on the actual streets. Yeah, no…get a GuyFi booth, dude!

The ‘GuyFi’ is located on 28th street and 5th avenue in New York. You get a chair and a laptop to pull up AllHipHop or whatever other site gets you off. This is is wack redefined!

Yesterday (Jan. 14), while in his hometown of Philly at Batcave Studio, the gifted MC opened up to HipHopSince1987 and discussed a myriad of topics.

“I got that Welcome to Gilladelphia out right now,” advised Gillie. He then announced that the Stacy Barthe-assisted “Not Ready To Go” will be the next release from the project. Of course the subject of a possible Major Figgas album came up, to which Gillie offered, “You know, we might start doing some things. We all still deal with each other — f*ck with each other–so, it’s all love.”

As the exchange progressed, the self-professed King of Philly, answered questions about the 2015 boxing match with Soulja Boy that never happened. “We ain’t even gonna talk about Soulja Girl. He didn’t want to sign that paperwork. I was gonna put hands and feet on him,” jabbed  Gille. The confident wordsmith soon added, “You know what I mean, beat the gaddam antifreeze out of him. But he didn’t want to put them gloves on. So, we’re gonna leave that alone. I’ll see him when I see him.”

Gillie goes on to announce that new music is on the way. “Welcome to Gilladelphia, Part 2 and King of Philly, Part 4 — I’m dropping mixtapes and I’m dropping albums,” said the outspoken MC. Crediting his “consistent” work-ethic, Gillie promises that musically 2016 will be a good year. He then suggest that KOP 4 may drop in March while the album may come out in July.

Watch the full video as it contains information about his upcoming movie, Blood Brothers, his social media popularizing his catch phrase, “right,” and his new track with Boozie Badazz entitled, “I’m the Man.”

Que Drops Social Critique Of The Trap With "Vampire City" Visuals

Que just dropped a new visual and the homie is going strong on this one.  Its a dark video so you don’t get too many clips of Que, but you can tell the homie has a new hairdo and he’s spitting that realness.  Aside from his look, the video has clips of the night life and shows the very dark side of the drug life that people glorify, showing some of the victims of the trap. Pay attention y’all, don’t destroy the community or you will have a “Vampire City.”
