The police reportedly needed 15 riot vans to restrain Snoop Dogg and his 30-strong entourage, who were arrested at London’s Heathrow airport yesterday after a riot erupted when they were refused entry to the first-class lounge provided by British Airways. The delay means he has been forced to cancel a gig in Johannesburg on Thursday night as part of South Africa’s Freedom Day celebrations. A witness said:

“There were all these huge, 20-stone men smashing up display cabinets and throwing people around. I saw Snoop Dogg on the ground with four riot police trying to put him in handcuffs. His minders were throwing bottles at people. There were 15 riot vans and eight police cars outside, with dog sniffer units. They were throwing the policemen around like pillows. Then, the police used pepper spray on them.�

A British Airways spokeswoman said that they have been banned from travelling with the company for the foreseeable future. And I say British Airways should be banned from flying for supporting apartheid.

Snoop Dogg Permanently Banned From UK

Rapper Snoop Dogg has been permanently banned from entering the United Kingdom, after a brawl in London's Heathrow airport in April.

Snoop Dogg and an entourage of almost 30 people were en route from Los Angeles to Johannesburg, South Africa, to perform at a major festival.

The rapper and other men became upset when they were denied entry into British Airways' first-class lounge.

A huge brawl ensued and seven officers suffered minor injuries.

Sources told AllHipHop.com that the Home Office banned Snoop from the country because of his previous criminal record in the United States.

Snoop had already been banned from flying with British Airways and police in the UK had issued him a caution over the incident.

Offenders do have the chance to be admitted under special circumstances, but sources said they do not apply to Snoop, who could lose millions in performance and appearance fees.
