Snoop has been working like a Dogg to get into the UK in time for a string of concerts he has organised with fellow rapper P Diddy.

The British authorities have denied Snoop a visa after one run in with the law too many. He was arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and affray at Heathrow Airport last year.

Tickets for his Wembley Arena gig tomorrow are still being sold with his name on the bill

But he is urging officials to change their minds by telling them he will "reach the kids" with a message to cut out gang crime.

"Snoop and his team are mystified at the decision and are hoping that the British government will reconsider," spokeswoman Celena Aponte said.

Meanwhile, tickets for his Wembley Arena gig tomorrow are still being sold with his name on the bill. Wembley officials are meeting concert promoters later to try and clear up the mess on behalf of fans.

His show partner P Diddy will definitely perform and there are rumours of a live-link up with Snoop in Amsterdam.
