DescriptionToronto-area MP Dan McTeague wants Immigration Minister Joe Volpe to prevent bad boy rap star 50 Cent from entering the country because he allegedly promotes gun violence.

50 Cent -- or "Fiddy'' as he's affectionately known -- is scheduled to launch a Canadian tour Dec. 3 in Vancouver. He'll then make stops in Halifax, Saint John, Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto and Ottawa.

But McTeague doesn't think the rapper should be allowed into Canada because of the message he sends to his fans.

"I think it's the timing on this, Bev, more than anything else," McTeague told Canada AM's Beverly Thomson Wednesday.
