Rapper Snoop Dogg has been given the go-ahead to proceed with his tour of Australia, just days after officials Down Under announced they were reconsidering their initial visa approval following a flurry of complaints.

Snoop Dogg is convinced he has been granted permission to re-enter the UK following a fracas at a London airport in 2006 - despite reports to the contrary.

Snoop Dogg has escaped a prison sentence in relation to a 2006 incident over possession of an offensive weapon.
