Snoop Dogg Denied Entry To Britain
Ever since arriving with his usual large entourage at London’s Heathrow Airport in 2006 Snoop Dogg, AKA Calvin Broadus, has been banned from setting foot in Great Britain for reasons of character. Snoop Dogg wanted to bring all 30-members of his traveling party into British Airways first-class lounge during a layover.
There was a heated exchange between Snoop and the airport officials with police being called after a fight ensued. Snoop was detained but later released but was issued a warning from British officials for using “insulting words.” Officially, the United Kingdom has decreed what is known as “No Fly Status” to the rapper, which denies him entry into the country based on character. It is the same policy that is used to fend off illegal immigrants and religious extremists.
The UK did its homework on Snoop and found a rap sheet with drug and weapons convictions, which helped to justify their case. Snoop wants the ban lifted so that he can perform in the country. He claims to have missed out on several opportunities. Snoop Dogg has long been associated with Los Angeles gang culture and was once tried for murder but acquitted in 1996. He has cleaned up his image somewhat in recent years and is more bark than bite as an alleged gangster.
Snoop now coaches high school football and has done promotional work for Chrysler Corporation. He also starred in a show called “Father Hood” which featured his own wife and children. His 2007 tour included a scheduled stop in Britain and the ban cost him an estimated $15.9 million in lost revenue. Tickets were already sold for his concerts, in fact, and had to be refunded. There has been some good news for Snoop, however, as Australia granted him a full visa after a complete character assessment as they felt there was little risk in having him stop by for a visit.
