Snoop Dogg To Apply For Australian Citizenship After Being Denied Entry Into Country
After being denied entry into Australia in April, MTV announced it plans to make a second attempt at bringin Snoop Dogg to the country next week.
The music channel revealed no further details for their "special project," but it will feature the rapper on July 4, according to the Melbourne Herald Sun.
They also have Australia's immigration officials intrigued, after calling on MTV viewers to support an appeal to get citizenship for Snoop, who is the convicted felon (the reason he was denied in the first place).
In a press release, Snoop said that fans should "journey with me as I become a citizen of the land Down Under."
In April, the rapper was scheduled in Australia to attend the MTV Australian Video Music Awards, which he was scheduled to co-host, but Minister Kevin Andrews would not grant Snoop (real name: Calvin Broadus) a visa to enter the country after recent drug and gun offenses the rapper faced in the U.S. and abroad.
"The reality is in relation to this man, that he was given a warning the last time," Mr. Andrews told Australian radio in April. "He has been denied entry into the United Kingdom because he was caught with others causing affray at Heathrow Airport. He doesn't seem the sort of bloke we want in this country."
