It comes only a few days after New Zealand-born reggae artist Lotima Nicholas Pome’e – aka General Fiyah – was reportedly detained in the US before being deported.
He had been scheduled to perform at Polyfest, a major Pacific cultural festival held in Washington.
In a post on social media, General Fiyah expressed his apologies to fans.
“I am really sorry to let you all know that I won’t be able to make the performance tonight,” the post read.
“I was detained and sent back to New Zealand, which means I can’t be there to share this moment with you.”
