Snoop Dogg’s U.K ban lifted
March 30th, 2010 - 4:11 pm ICT by ANILondon, March 30(ANI): Snoop Dogg has thanked U.K. immigration officials for helping overturn his visa ban.
The ‘Beautiful’ hitmaker said he was grateful to two senior immigration judges who ruled against border authorities.
“As we speak I’ve been reinstated and I’m on my way back to the U.K. so I wanna give a shout out to all the beautiful people who allowed me to come back,” the Daily Star quoted him as telling U.S host Larry King.
Border officials had arrested the rapper following a brawl at Heathrow Airport in 2006.
Authorities later denied him entry in 2007 branding him a threat, referring to his prior drug and firearms offences.
However, Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Broadus, challenged the decision in court.
His lawyers appealed for repealing the ban emphasizing on his charity and community work as a high school football coach at an Asylum and Immigration Tribunal in February (10).
Now, the tribunal has decided to end the ban. (ANI)
