LONDON (Reuters) - Snoop Dogg, who has been denied a visa to enter Britain on a European tour, is seeking to have the decision overturned, a spokeswoman said on Saturday.
The 35-year old, arrested during a disturbance at Heathrow airport last year, had been due to perform with fellow rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs, at Wembley Arena on Tuesday, followed by gigs in Cardiff, Manchester, Glasgow, and Nottingham.
"Snoop still sincerely hopes that the British Government will reconsider their decision and UK shows will be allowed to go on as planned," his spokeswoman said in a statement.
"Many routes are being explored to the prime minister to have the decision reversed," she added.
The Home Office said it would not comment on individual cases, but added that the government had the power to refuse entrance to individuals whose presence in the country would "not be conducive to the public good".
Dogg was previously prevented from entering Britain in May, 2006.
It was not the first problem the rapper has encountered on his European tour. Earlier this month, Stockholm police arrested him and a woman in her early 20s for suspected narcotics use.
Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, had been performing concerts with Combs, once his bitter rival in a notorious feud between the east and west coast U.S. hip-hop scenes in the 1990s.
"They feel strongly that the uniting message of the One Love Peace Tour will need to be shared with fans no matter what and discussions are underway with production teams so that Snoop can still be involved in the show," his spokeswoman said. |
Yes, keep this vile unconducive man away from our shores and our women. "Many routes are being explored to the prime minister to have the decision reversed," please our Prime Minister is a good man and has no need for your hos and scooby snacks.
The people of Wembley, Cardiff, Manchester, Glasgow, and Nottingham have no time for your filth Mr. Broadus. Don't bring your east coast west coast war to our peaceful loving communities. |

Yes, because most hip hop fans in the UK really give a $hit about an east coast/west coast "war" that took place 10 years ago, but is now thankfully resolved. I would say that the majority of the ticket-buyers to these shows would even be too young to remember it. |

Another reason for me to like the British authorities. Keep up the good work.
Anytime they can keep a punk masquerading as a musician out of a country for his wannabe gangsta antics, that's fine by me. Hope to see more of it. |
