Kweli defended his fellow Brooklyn rap friend and dismissed the reports.

"I haven't spoken on Yasiin cuz it seemed obvious to me that these rumors are unsubstantiated lies. But y'all believe blogs so I must.," According to tweets from Talib's Twitter account. "Think about you've read about Yasiin. Does it make sense? No it doesn't. Do you own research if you that concerned. Stop believing blogs." "No need to get up in arms. Yasiin is, in the words of Dave Chappelle, chillin out in South Africa #mandelavoice"

Last week, an alleged Bey associate claimed there was no ban on the rap vet.

Abdi Hussein, another American living in Cape Town, said it was a "complete lie" that Mos Def was barred from the US, saying the rapper had merely "moved the dates" for his tour because he was working on other projects in Africa. Hussein told The Times yesterday: "[Mos Def] has never attempted to enter any country and been refused. It's a complete lie. In fact, if there was anything criminal against you, they would invite you back so they could lock you up."
