Canadian fans of Chris Brown will have to wait a little longer to see the singer in person.
Brown announced over Twitter Tuesday that he was denied entry into Canada and will have to cancel his scheduled concerts in Montreal (Feb. 24) and Toronto (Feb. 25).
“Unfortunately I will not be able to perform in front of sold out crowds in Montreal & Toronto,” he tweeted. “The good people of the Canadian government wouldn’t allow me entry. I’ll be back this summer and will hopefully see all my Canadian fans!”
The Kiss Kiss singer was supposed to make an appearance at Drake’s annual OVO festival in Toronto last summer, but the planned collaboration was nixed due to his criminal record in the U.S.
Brown, who is touring with Trey Songz and Tyga, has had numerous brushes with the law over the years. He was charged and sentenced for felony assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna before the 2009 Grammy Awards, and more recently was jailed in 2014 for probation violations.
In 2010, Brown was also banned from entering the United Kingdom.
Update: Brown's tweets have since been deleted.

One of my favorite rappers is from Texas, 5th ward Texas to be more precise. I present Bushwick Bill from The Geto Boys. A one eyed, Black midget rapper...

Can’t say as I blame them. I wish the US could keep him out.

Chris Brown should sing from a truck backed up against the border, just like communist Paul Robeson used to do

Though honestly, I say we lock Justin Bieber in Canada until they relent. You guys have rockets. Can't you just shoot them both into the sun?

They look like musical geniuses. I'm sure they don't rely on ripping off I mean "sampling" other people's music to support themselves either.

Kind of a waste of resources... Take a lot of work and put a lot of people in danger, not to mention the cost. How about we compromise and send both of them to France and then revoke their passports so they can’t come back?
