SNOOP DOGG - SNOOP DOGG BARRED FROM BRITAIN

Rapper SNOOP DOGG has been banned from entering the United Kingdom following his arrest for affray and violent disorder at London's Heathrow Airport last month (26APR06). The SIGNS hitmaker - real name CALVIN BROADUS - will be prohibited from travelling in the country for the rest of his life, and faces losing millions of dollars in potential performance fees, AllHipHop.com reports. Sources claim the UK's Home Office issued the ban based on his criminal record in the United States. In 1993 the hip-hop star was tried and acquitted for murder. Broadus has already been cautioned for the airport incident in which he and five members of his entourage caused a brawl when they were refused entry into British Airways' first-class lounge. He has also been banned from flying with the airline.
