Nicki Minaj who is famous for being provocative will appear entertaining in Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, conservative Joss Stone was banned from appearing in Iran.
Joss Stone announced that he had been expelled from Iran recently. In an upload on Instagram, he claimed he was arrested and then deported from there.
The 32-year-old singer said he visited the country on a mission. He wants to show many positive things in this world.
Meanwhile, there is news that the Iranian extremist regime has banned women from appearing in public in the country. That fact was already realized by Stone, although he continued to want to try it.
"We are aware there will be no public concert because I am a woman, and it is illegal in this country," he said.
Joss Stone also claimed to have talked at length with the immigration authorities. But still, he can't enter. It is precisely considered as one of the black lists that eventually has to be detained.
"After a long discussion with the most friendly and charming immigration people, the decision was made to detain us that night and deport us in the morning. Of course I am heartbroken," he regretted.
Joss Stone is not alone scheduled to appear in an Arab country. The Jeddah World Fest organizer has also just announced this week that rapper Nicki Minaj will be performing in Saudi Arabia on July 18.
Saudi Arabia has made a change by loosening restrictions on entertainment in recent years.
Minaj is known for his provocative lyrics and videos. The rapper is also known for his open clothes, sexually explicit appearance. Later also came the news that the K-Pop group, Super Junior for the first time will appear there.
