Hip hop star Mos Def has been
arrested in South Africa for using an unrecognized 'world passport'.
The rapper and actor, who now
goes by the name Yasiin Bey, was detained at Cape Town International
Airport for violating immigration laws, a government spokesman said.
When
asked to present his travel documents when trying to leave South Africa, Mos
Def handed over a world passport instead of a genuine one, officials said.
His visa had expired and he must now leave
the country within 14 days. Hip hop star and his family were banned from
South Africa for five years.
'We are all fans guys... but the law is the
law,' government spokesman said.
