Rapper Silento has reportedly been stranded in Abu Dhabi after a court seized his passport in a row over concert performances.
A travel ban was imposed on the US star - best known for his 2015 hit Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) - on February 20 amid claims he failed to appear at two shows for which he was contracted.
The 19-year-old was reportedly told in a court order that he could only leave after paying Dh300,000 (£66,500) to claimant Makki Taj El Sir Abdel Halim.
His Middle East representative insists he only missed the shows because he did not receive his fee.

According to The National, Silento has been ordered by authorities in the city of Al Ain to hand over his passport until the case is settled.
Abdel Halim, who runs Mackie Entertainment, is said to have agreed with Silento's representatives that the rapper should perform twice on February 18 in Al Ain.
