AceShowbiz - Roddy Ricch has made up his mind. The 24-year-old Compton native told his fans that he will not revisit the country anytime soon after being "harassed" by the Federal Border Patrol.
Making use of his Instagram Story on Sunday, November 6, the "Down Below" spitter let his 7 million followers know about his decision. "The Federal Border Patrol did not allow me into Vancouver, BC. I apologize to my fans," he wrote over a black screen.
"I don't believe I'll be revisiting Canada anytime soon," Roddy, whose real name is Rodrick Wayne Moore Jr., continued. He went on explaining, "Because they've harassed me every time I've come." He then concluded his message as writing, "Imma be completely honest, I'm tired of the harassment."
Fans then urged Roddy to seek help from Canadian stars like Drake, Tory Lanez or Justin Bieber. "Call Drake bro," one person commented after the Story was reposted by The Shade Room on Instagram. Another asked, "He ain't got drake number? Somebody call @champagnepapi he controls the border." A third wondered, "Man where Drake at?"
"Well, you have Tory Lanez..wait but he's on home arrest. How about Drake? Or Justin maybe?" someone else chimed in. A separate person pointed out, "It's always a problem with rapper's getting in Canada…it's time to cut ties with them."
Roddy is scheduled to take Rogers Arena stage in Vancouver alongside Post Malone on the latter's "Twelve Carat Tour" on November 6 at 8 P.M. The tour's name is an abbreviated nod to Posty's fourth studio full-length "Twelve Carat Toothache". The album arrived just under three years after the release of "Hollywood's Bleeding", which landed in the Album of the Year category at last year's Grammy Awards.
Roddy is featured on the "Twelve Carat Toothache" track "Cooped Up". In May, the Atlantic Records artist and the 27-year-old "Sunflower" hitmaker linked up to perform the single on "Saturday Night Live".
