American rapper Yasiin Bey has been arrested in South Africa, after attempting to leave the country under a false passport.
The rapper - who went by the name Mos Def until he renamed himself in late 2011 - was arrested at Cape Town airport on Thursday (January 14), according to South African Department of Home Affairs spokesman Mayihlome Tshwete. He is said to have tried to depart on an unrecognised 'world passport'.
South African media is reporting that the rapper has been living in South Africa since May 2013, but had overstayed the terms of his visa by mid-2014, and was the subject of a court order to leave. Following the arrest for use of a false passport, the rapper and actor now has 14 days to leave South Africa.
