The US-based artist took to Instagram on March 10, 2017, saying the news came from a fake Facebook and Twitter page.
According to him, "On a serious note, the rumour going around that I was stopped from entering the state is not true.
It is absolutely fake. It's not true. The Twitter account and the Facebook account used is not mine.
