BUSTA BAILS ON AUSSIE FANS…AGAIN?: Folks down under are through with Mr. Trevor after rapper cancels another gig.

(October 2, 2006)

*Australians may favor the term “no worries,” but not when it comes to Busta Rhymes. The rapper has reportedly cancelled a concert at the last minute for the second time in two years.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Rhymes was scheduled to perform last night (Oct. 1) at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, but has backed out of the appearance because he wants “more money, business class airfare” for his “entire entourage and five star accommodation.”

The promoter, PDA Touring, released a statement Thursday (9/28) saying that "outrageous demands on the eve of the departure by Busta Rhymes' management" prompted the concert to be cancelled.

But sources tell the Herald that Rhymes never intended to perform in Sydney, because the tour schedule on his official Web site notes that he’s due to open for Mariah Carey tonight in Oakland.

In 2004, Busta was supposed to perform down under, but cancelled the gig after members of his entourage were detained for several hours at Sydney Airport due to immigration issues.
