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.
Snoop Dogg will guest on a Rob Patterson-produced track for Charlie Sheen’s My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Death is Not an Option tour, Billboard has confirmed.
A release date for the single has not yet been revealed, although the former “Two and a Half Men” star’s one-man show is slated to kick off Saturday (April 2) in Detroit.
The news arrives after Sheen posted a picture of himself, Snoop Dogg and Patterson on his Twitter last week along with the caption, “Warlock meets his makers-music makers that is @SnoopDogg @robpatterson666 get ready to rock the Sheenius within! http://twitpic.com/4d9cw1.”
Snoop Dogg is fresh off releasing his latest album, “The Doggumentary,” yesterday, and plans on shooting a comedy with fellow stoner rapper Wiz Khalifa this May.
Meanwhile, Sheen’s Torpedo tour will visit 20 North American cities before wrapping up May 3 in Seattle.
