claims an individual in Jamaica sent information to British authorities indicating that he is a gang leader, which led to the Dancehall artist being detained in the United Kingdom.

Upon arriving in the UK from Africa on Wednesday (Jan. 12), Popcaan was detained for several hours by British immigration officers after an official from Jamaica submitted false information to authorities in the UK, according to the Jamaican entertainer.

The “Levels” deejay, whose real name is Andre Hugh Sutherland, took to Twitter to inform the public of his situation, citing that “someone with authority in Jamaica sent information to England immigration stating that he is a gang leader and that he got charged with a firearm.”

“I would like to know why someone with authority in Jamaica send information to England immigration that I’m a gang leader and I got charge with firearm, this is not cool at all from my own country, why I have to be sitting in immigration for over 3 hours??” Popcaan asked in a tweet.

“Ego will make you destroy yourself and a whole nation!!! Humility dweet,” he expressed in an earlier tweet.
