BRITISH AIRWAYS PUTS SNOOP IN THE DOG HOUSE: Airline wants no parts of rapper after incident at Heathrow.

(May 5, 2006)

*British Airways has decided that Snoop Dogg may never step foot on one of its airplanes ever again following his part in an alleged brawl at London’s Heathrow Airport.

Authorities say that economy ticket holders in Snoop’s crew tried to force their way into British Airways’ exclusive first class lounge. An ensuring scuffle with police tumbled into a duty free shop, where items were knocked down and bottles were thrown, police say. Seven police officers were reportedly injured in the incident.

The rapper and four members of his entourage were arrested for “violent disorder and affray.” They were released, but ordered to return later this month for further questioning.

In the meantime, British Airways has hit the Long Beach star and his crew with a lifetime ban.

"This kind of behavior is not tolerated,” said a spokesman for the airline. “We are making sure none of this group will be allowed to travel with BA ever again. They are banned from now on."
