Snoop Dogg Continues to Fight UK Ban. A U.K. Asylum and Immigration Tribunal is expected to rule today on whether its ban on Snoop Dogg’s entry into the country is really necessary. The rapper—real name Calvin Broadus— has been assigned a special no-fly status by the UK which allows it to deny entry based on questions of character. This all started with the 2006 Heathrow Airport incident that sparked when some members of his 30-strong entourage were not allowed into the British Airways first-class lounge during a layover. After a heated argument and mini-scuffle with police ensued, Snoop was detained and later released with a warning for what British authorities said, and he admitted, was the use of “insulting words.” But the rap star has been barred from setting foot in the U.K. ever since.
