Beenie Man, who won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album, was forced to cancel his co-headlining performance at Drake’s OVO Festival in Toronto Saturday night after contracting the Zika virus.
Beenie was scheduled to perform alongside Machel Montano at the popular festival but was denied entry into Canada a few days before the event over “immigration issues” related to his contraction of the virus.
The Jamaican artist shared a photo of himself on social media holdup in the hospital. In the caption he apologized to fans for missing the festival.
