Rick Ross

Rick Ross was forced to scrap a concert in Bermuda on Saturday after government officials denied him a work permit.

The hip-hop star was due to perform at the Cup Match Extravaganza but the country's Immigration Minister David Burch refused authorisation because Ross did not “possess good character and conduct”, according to Bermuda’s Royal Gazette.

But the show's promoter, Kendricks Zuill, is convinced Burch was confusing the star with infamous drug trafficker Ricky Ross.

Zuill says, "I've been trying to convince them that he is a man of good conduct. I was providing them with information, but all they told me was that the Minister was not satisfied. It's something personal.”

Refunds are being issued to more than 500 people who purchased tickets to the show.
