Well well well...it would seem Snoop's track record for bad behaviour is really going to cost him this time. The rapper (who resembles a rat and somehow remains attractive to me, I really don't understand it at all...), has been refused a UK visa - People.com says:
Diddy and Snoop have performed throughout Europe and were due to play at London's Wembley Arena on March 27. Reps for Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, say they are furious.
"A decision to refuse musician Snoop Dogg a visa to enter the UK at the last minute has thrown the tour he was participating in into chaos, although the concert at Wembley will go ahead whatever the outcome," his reps said in a statement Friday. "Snoop is on a major co-headlining tour with P. Diddy which has passed through Europe playing to over 100,000 fans without incident, without one arrest or any trouble of any description."
Asked about the ban, a government spokeswoman told PEOPLE: "The Home Office does not comment on individual cases. The Home Secretary has the power to refuse entry clearance to non-UK citizens if he considers that their presence here would not be conducive to the public good."
Its believed that this goes back to an altercation that happened almost a year ago at Heathrow airport when Snoop and his peeps were on their way to Johannesberg. This event led to seven police officers being injured and Snoop and couple of people from his crew being arrested.
In fairness though, Snoop has been involved in more than his fair share of trouble. Over the past couple of years he has been involved in lots of altercations, usually involving guns or drugs. It is sad though, I love the Snoop and its crap that his British fans will be deprived of seeing him in concert (I've seen him 3 times and that shizz is good fo' sheezy).
