Charley Crockett has canceled his Canadian tour dates after being unable to enter the country due to a 10-year-old drug possession charge, the country star announced Monday (Feb. 23) on Instagram.

Sharing a photo of a report from Canada’s immigration, refugees and citizenship department barring him from crossing its border, Crockett revealed that he’d been turned away due to an incident back in March 2016, in which he’d been convicted of carrying more than five pounds of marijuana with intent to sell in Virginia. “Everybody’s got a past,” he wrote in a screenshotted message to fans posted alongside the report. “Mine’s still haunting me.”

The singer went on to explain that he’d tried to “cross the Canadian border twice in 24 hours,” with patrol agents apparently denying him entry in both Vancouver and Kelowna. “I’ve been advised that it would jeopardize my freedom to try and enter again,” he continued, confirming that he’d need to cancel all of his upcoming dates in the Great White North. “I apologize to everyone affected. I know I let y’all down.”

Crockett’s fans in Canada can expect full refunds to be issued at their points of purchase, but he also wrote in his statement that he knows “this doesn’t begin to make up for y’all’s time and hard earned money.”

“Canada’s such a beautiful country full of some of the best fans in the world, and I’ve had the time of my life playing shows for y’all,” he added. “I ain’t one to quit and I aim to be back one of these days real soon.”

Billboard has reached out to Canada’s Border Services Agency for comment.

Crockett had been scheduled to kick off his Canadian trek on Saturday (Feb. 21) with a show at the Orpheum Theatre in Vancouver, which Live Nation British Columbia announced had been postponed “due to unforeseen circumstances” hours prior. He’d also had shows slated for the provinces of Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Quebec that he’ll no longer be playing.

News of the cancelations comes just a few days after Crockett announced that his new album, Age of the Ram — his third LP in his “Sagebrush Trilogy” — will be dropping April 3. The first two installments in the series, Lonesome Drifter and Dollar a Day, came out in 2025.

As 50 Cent and T.I.’s feud continues to bubble, Tip released a hard-hitting track on Sunday (Feb. 22) fittingly titled “War.”

While he doesn’t address 50 by name, a few bars could be directed at the G-Unit mogul. “The bear hibernating, don’t poke him/ When you see the giant sleeping, shouldn’t have woke him,” Tip raps.

He also touts his titan status in the rap game, declaring himself to be top three out of Atlanta, and not three. “Top three in my city, you know I’m in tha/ And I ain’t No. 3, what you getting at” Tip continues.

It appears this could just be a 100-second preview of a longer edition of “War,” which may be featured on T.I.’s final album, Kill the King, releasing later in 2026.

The trap pioneer added some fuel to the fire amid back-and-forth with 50 in his caption for the song. “Oh you ni66az want WAR?!?! Aight…WE ON THAT,” he teased on Instagram.

Over the weekend, 50 posted a bad photo of Tip’s wife, Tiny Harris. T.I. and his son King Harris fired back in the comments, per Complex. “Fu*k Ni66a you can post a fat ho in a snowstorm on a unicycle juggling dildos…. You still a HO!!!! #KingSaid That,” T.I. wrote.

King Harris added: “Where ya mama?”

An enraged King Harris also delivered a fiery rant on his IG Stories Sunday, attacking 50 in defense of his mother.

“B—h a— n—a wanna say something about my mama, your mama dead as f—k n—a. Your mama dead as f—k, go dig her up,” he said, mocking 50’s late mother. “Go dig her up. F—k. Post a picture of your motherf—king mama n—a, she dead n—a. Pay respect, n—a. Stop f—king playing with my mama n—a. N—a ain’t playing like that, n—a ain’t going like that n—a. How y’all bitch ass n—a raised, I’m not raised like that.”

50 Cent continued to taunt King and Tiny Harris on Monday (Feb. 23), as he reposted a clip from the 50 WTF? podcast, which saw the cohosts disparaging both members of the Harris family.

T.I. and 50 Cent’s feud was reignited earlier in February after Tip voiced his confidence in taking 50 out in a potential Verzuz battle. 50 didn’t want anything to do with a Verzuz, which led 50 to slam Tip and call him “King Rat” in an Instagram comment.

“You playing on MY NAME when only one of us a rat in real life…you know I got your paperwork right? And my transcript is available online,” T.I. wrote. “Your excuses is useless. Get yo h— a— in the box or STFU and live in fear. You soft son. You’ve lost my respect. Fckn [duck emoji].”

Elsewhere, Tip earned his first solo Billboard Hot 100 entry in more than a decade with “Let ‘Em Know,” which held at No. 50 on the chart dated Feb. 21.

Brandi Carlile has a call to action for those who voted for Donald Trump in 2024 but now feel disappointed in how his second presidential term has played out so far: It’s OK to change your mind.

In an interview with Rolling Stone moments after her Saturday (Feb. 21) concert in Minneapolis, the country star expressed empathy for people she thinks were misled by the twice-impeached POTUS, especially amid ICE’s widely criticized ongoing immigration enforcement operations in the United States. “It’s very clear that this administration is not interested in legal immigration,” she told the publication backstage at the Target Center.

“They’re interested in violent theater,” Carlile continued. “Violent theater and dominance over other people. I don’t believe most people signed up for that. Even people who voted for Trump, who I’m angry with, I don’t think they voted for this, and I do think that they can still change their minds.”

The 11-time Grammy winner went on to compare the situation Trump voters are in to a time when she says she was manipulated into buying an expensive vacuum cleaner by a door-to-door salesman. Rather than paying the bill — which she couldn’t possibly afford at the time as a struggling artist — she called up the company and successfully pressured them into taking the product back at no cost.

“So, you got f–king scammed. We’re living in a scammy time,” Carlile said. “That’s what people do. You can’t even pick up your phone without getting scammed. Doesn’t mean you have to double down. It doesn’t mean you have to pay for the f–king vacuum cleaner. And I just think there are a whole lot of people out there right now feeling duped and feeling ashamed and embarrassed.”

“What they need to feel is angry,” she added. “They need to get mad and change their minds. Get past the embarrassment, get past the shame that we got duped by a con artist. Get mad enough to change your mind.”

Billboard has reached out to the White House for comment.

The singer’s tour stop in Minnesota doubled as a benefit concert for Minneapolis nonprofit The Advocates for Human Rights, which has been working to support families affected by ICE’s arrests, detainments and deportations in the city. According to a post shared by Carlile on Instagram, the event raised more than $600,000 for the organization.

Minneapolis has been at the center of discussions around the morality of Trump’s crackdown on immigrants since the beginning of the year, with people all over the country protesting ICE’s presence in the city and the fatal shootings of two civilians — Renee Good and Alex Pretti — at the hands of immigration enforcement officers in January. Many musicians have spoken out against ICE in the weeks since, while Carlile has long been outspoken in her opposition to the federal agency’s actions.

“I am so heartbroken and angry for Minnesota,” she wrote in a January post on Instagram. “Over the past month, the community there has continued to set an incredible example for the rest of us, demonstrating the power of uniting to protect our neighbors and defend what is right.”
