Snoop Dogg still denied UK entry

Snoop Dogg has failed in his bid to persuade UK officials to lift a ban preventing him from entering the country.

Snoop Dogg has failed in his bid to persuade UK officials to lift a ban preventing him from entering the country.

The Beautiful hitmaker, real name Calvin Broadus, is prohibited from entering Britain after he was involved in a brawl at London's Heathrow Airport in April 2006 - but recently wrote to the Home Office in a bid to get the order overturned.

Broadus was keen to visit the UK last month to launch a new advertisement for European mobile phone giant Orange, but the attempts failed, according to Allhiphop.com

The incident at the London airport left seven police officers injured and led to the star being banned from returning to the UK.

His criminal record also led to him being denied entry into Australia last year. - Wenn
