Yasiin Bey, fka Mos Def, was arrested in South Africa last week for trying to use a World Passport to leave the country. He’s still being held in Cape Town, and tonight, the rapper has shared a freestyle addressing his situation — with a little help from Kanye West. West posted the message on his official site, kanyewest.com, and Bey’s lyrics reference Kanye’s recent songs “Real Friends” and “No More Parties In LA.” Listen here.

In a lengthy message after the freestyle, Bey further discusses the circumstances of his detainment and says that he is releasing his final album this year and then retiring from the music and film industry.
