Fred Durst has reportedly been banned from entering the Ukraine for five years. Rhe Limp Bizkit frontman recently revealed he wanted to move to Crimea, the Black Sea region between Russia and the Ukraine. The singer also expressed interest in obtaining a Russian passport. Even before Durst made these statements, Crimea's Prime Minister Sergey Aksyonov called on Western celebrities to move to the territory and make it "the new Beverly Hills."
Those plans now come to a halt. According to a new report from TMZ, Durst has been banned from the country because he wanted to shoot a reality show there with his Crimean-born wife, Kseniya Beryazina. Russia and the Ukraine have been contesting ownership over the land since a political referendum in 2014. The Ukrainian government reportedly felt Durst was siding with Russia in the matter. As a result, they banned him for five years "in the interest of guaranteeing the security of our state." We reached out to Durst's camp for comment.
