Snoop Dogg in da dog-house

You would think that travelling the world-over was just another part of an international rappers career, however it seems that yet again Snoop Dogg is having trouble doing just that and as a result he may end up disappointing thousands of fans who had hoped to see him on his recent tour as he awaits visa approval.

This time the visa trouble has occurred down under, where Snoop hopes to work in Australia. Snoop Dogg who has already faced probing and confrontation by UK visas officials has now come under scrutiny by the Australian immigration department.

The department has officially said that prior to him being given approved entry and being granted a visa it would first be conducting a character assessment of Snoop Dogg, including his criminal history.

Speaking to the Associated Press a department spokesman said that the rapper applied for a visa in July and the department carried out a preliminary assessment. He further said that “The department has now decided to do a full assessment of the character of the rapper and the department has begun this assessment.”

Rumour has it that it’s not only Snoops rather colourful criminal past which is casting a shadow over his application. In addition he allegedly over stayed his previous visa by a number of days on his last visit.

It seems that the rapper is being forced to pay the price for such a high profile background particularly one which is of a promiscuous nature. As we have seen in many national stories regarding musicians, sports stars and actors alike, it doesn’t matter who you are you can’t dodge the immigration laws.
