Skepta 'denied US work visa' • News • DIY Magazine

While the first weekend of Coachella kicks off today with appearances from the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Foals, Chvrches and Calvin Harris scheduled throughout the weekend, one artist who doesn’t look like making their way to the Californian desert is Skepta.

Fresh from releasing ‘Man’ this morning, taken from the Londoner’s new album, ‘Konnichiwa’ which follows on 1st May, he revealed via Instagram he “is not allowed in America right now” after his visa was denied.

Love to everybody that wanted to see me on tour this month, my U.S visa has been denied and I am not allowed in America right now. Still taking forward steps and forever working with God. Brb.
