Rapper Snoop Dogg arrested after Heathrow fracas
By Kim Pilling, PA
Published: 27 April 2006
Rapper Snoop Dogg has been arrested after a disturbance at Heathrow airport.

The US star was detained by police when a row broke out after his 30-strong entourage was refused entry to the British Airways first-class lounge at the airport's Terminal 1.

His party was then alleged to have moved to a duty-free shop where it was said they threw bottles of whisky to the floor and argued with staff.

Police were called to the airport and were escorting the group away from the scene when a further disturbance broke out, Scotland Yard said.

Seven officers received minor injuries - mainly cuts and bruises - and one suffered a fracture to the hand.

A spokesman for Scotland Yard said: "Police were called at 6pm last night to reports of a disturbance involving 30 people in a business lounge at Terminal 1.

"The party was told that they would not be permitted to board their flight and officers then attempted to direct the group to baggage reclaim.

"A number of the group became abusive and pushed officers."

Six men aged in their 30s, including Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, 34, were arrested on charges of violent disorder and affray.

The spokesman added: "The men, who are all US citizens, are in custody at two West London police stations."

Snoop and his group were due to board a flight to Johannesburg, South Africa, before the row broke out.

The superstar rapper grew up on the gang-infested streets of Long Beach, California and ended up on the wrong side of the law.

In 1993 he was tried and acquitted for murder - the same year he found fame with debut album Doggystyle.

Since then he has become a movie star, appearing in the Starsky and Hutch remake, and has even been invited to speak at the Oxford Union.

Meanwhile, there's been no comment from rock legend and bling jacker, David Bowie.

What this got to do with David Bowie? Why should he make some comments?

Snoop Dogg steals from other people and David Bowie steals from Snoop Dogg. So, it's possible David Bowie was secretly involved in this fray, perhaps even the initial source of the confrontation.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means!

Wait, was Snoop's fight with a great swordsman who was not lefthanded, then with a giant and eventually over a table in a battle of wits?

Iocane powder, I'd stake my life on it!

Hey, is that Snoop Dog ahead?
If it is, we'll all be dead!
No more rhymes, now, I mean it!

Well, in THIS context, with the subject matter of the topic (and the back story that goes along with it) and with all of the posts immediately before yours, I'd say your post was damn near perfect!

VERY clever!

A TV spot for XM Satellite Radio shows Snoop Dogg in an XM studio looking for his lost diamond encrusted necklace/medallion that spells out his name.

He calls Derek Jeter on the phone asking if he'd seen it. Then he goes to where some country gal is singing live on mic. Finally, he walks past a studio where David Bowie is working as a guest DJ.

Snoop asks David through the soundproof studio window using pantomime and exaggerated mouth gestures if he's seen the chain.

David shakes his head and looks innocently at a loss to help Snoop.

After Snoop moves on to search elsewhere David smiles wickedly and opens his sweater to reveal the chain hanging from his own neck.

Undoubtedly XM wanted to demonstrate the variety of listening choices available. What they demonstrated to me was that Bowie may be a lying thief.

The fact that he went along with the joke doesn't speak to his being a good sport, it speaks to his sense of values.

But he's a talented billionaire musical legend so who am I to talk, right?

I swear, that movie is one of the best ever. When I was 7 years old or so, I didn't realize that it was a comedy. I took it all so seriously.

How could Snoop Dogg's thugs ever think that their ilk and "first class" could ever be compatible?

Nevermind: how could I use "think" and "Snoop Dogg's thugs" in same sentence?

You give me too much credit. It was a play on his lisp.

Amended.

Because I'm such a genial host that all you charming folks want to stop by and enjoy the fun times?

I'm hoping that's close but something tells me I'm a bit off the mark. More likely it's the same reason people like auto races. The chance to see real CARnage.

Snoop Dogg banned from BA

2006-04-28 12:30:03

Rapper Snoop Dogg has been banned for life from British Airways flights.

The infamous hip-hop star will never fly on the respected airline again after members of his 30-strong entourage sparked a mini riot at London's Heathrow airport on Wednesday (28.04.2006).

The trouble started when economy ticket holders in the group tried to force their way into British Airway's exclusive first class lounge.

An airline spokesman ranted: "This kind of behaviour is not tolerated.

We are making sure none of this group will be allowed to travel with BA ever again. They are banned from now on."

Special riot police were called to the incident and had to use pepper spray to calm down the violent and rowdy crew - seven officers were left hurt and one suffered a broken wrist.

Which makes it easier for DAVID BOWIE to continue to deny possession of Snoop's bling.

I'd say there's NO chance of Snoop EVER getting it back from the 'thieving White Duke,' seen here with evidence of his crime.

bowiechick will not be happy

PacHead · Apr 29, 2006, 11:11 AM

I remember English cops with machine guns all over at Heathrow last time I was there. Maybe they should have called in those cops instead to deal with the gangsta thugs.
