Slick Rick still has immigration issues
November 4, 2008 by webmaster
Despite pardon from NY governor, rapper’s woes continue.
*Slick Rick’s past criminal convictions may have been pardoned by New York’s Governor David Paterson earlier this year, but the rapper says he’s still running into red tape with U.S. immigration authorities.
“We’re in a better position that we was before,” said the recent recipient of a VH1 Hip Hop Honor. “We have a couple of hurdles that we have to go through, just clarifying everything with the immigration people. Other than that we’re just on standby to see what the board does from this point forward.”
The rap icon, born Ricky Walters, has been jailed in the U.S twice – once in 1991 for attempted murder and assault , and again in 2002 over immigration issues. He was released from jail in 2003 after spending 18 months in detention, and Gov. Paterson officially pardoned the star for his crime in May.

What was the song Slick Rick used as the intro at the Vh1 Hip Hop Honors?
It’s actually teenage love however instead of using the actual music for teenage love-rick mixed impeach the president beat along with diana ross singing “do ya know”-which is actually what rick sings in the original teenage love! The song “do ya know” is from the movie “mahogany”-which starred diana ross.
