Roddy Ricch's negative experience at the northern border made the rapper reconsider ever visiting Canada again.
According to a post he made on Sunday, November 6, "The Box" rapper was stopped at the border as he was trying to enter Vancouver, BC for his performance at Post Malone's Twelve Carat Tour. After he was denied entry, Ricch took to social media and apologized to his fans who were looking forward to his set. In his post, he said that he doesn't think he'll ever return to Canada because of the harassment he endured while he tried to enter the country.

“The Federal Border Patrol did not allow me into Vancouver, BC,” Roddy wrote in his Instagram Story. “I apologize to my fans. I don’t believe I’ll be revisiting Canada anytime soon because they’ve harassed me every time I’ve come and Imma be completely honest, I’m tired of the harassment.”
The Compton native, who just dropped his new song "Aston Martin Truck," didn't provide any other details about the incident. He's been on tour with Post Malone since September. November 6 was their only date in Canada and they had no choice but to perform without Ricch's set. He's expected to link back up with Malone during their final shows in Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Roddy Ricch hasn't had a lot of great luck with law enforcement lately. Earlier this year, he was arrested for gun possession before his scheduled performance at Governor's Ball in New York City. He was charged with charged with four counts of criminal possession of a weapon, possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device and unlawful possession of an ammunition feeding device. He posted bail and was released from jail the following day.
