British authorities denied rapper Snoop Dogg a visa for a series
of planned concerts, publicists for his tour said in a statement
Saturday.
Snoop Dogg, co-headlining a European tour with Diddy, had been
expected to play five dates in Britain.
"Snoop and his team are mystified at the decision and are hoping
that the British government will reconsider this decision,"
spokeswoman Celena Aponte said in a statement.
A planned concert at London's Wembley Arena on Tuesday will go
ahead with Diddy and the rest of the show, she said.
A spokeswoman for the Home Office said she couldn't comment on an
individual case, but did point out that foreign citizens could be
barred from entering the country if there were concerns about their
presence.
Snoop Dogg was barred from entering Britain in May.
