Yasiin Bey [Mos Def] Explains South African Arrest

As you may know, Yasiin Bey (formerly Mos Def) was recently arrested abroad for travelling through South Africa with a “World Passport,” instead of US-issued travel document. 

Last night, Kanye West tweeted out a 10-minute message left via the rapper’s own voicemail, explaining his side of the story, dropping some spoken word and a new freestyle meant to be added to “No More Parties In LA,” and renouncing his role in the music industry and acting roles.
