Britain Fights to Keep Snoop Dogg Out the Country

Looks like Snoop Dogg is still in the doghouse in the UK. Britain's Border Agency announced Friday that it plans on challenging a court's ruling that barred the rapper from entering the country.

Snoop was banned from Britain after his arrest on charges of violent disorder at Heathrow Airport in London in April 2006. The rap star appealed the ban, and in January an asylum and immigration tribunal allowed granted him clearance to enter the country.

Britain was the only country to banish the rapper. In April 2007, Snoop Dogg was refused entry into Australia. Obviously not a fan of the rapper's 'Doggystyle,' Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews stated that Snoop "doesn't seem the sort of bloke we want in this country." Read the full story.
