KEY POINTS:
Britain is appealing a court's decision to allow US rapper Snoop Dogg into the country said the Border Agency.
The multi-platinum-selling musician was barred from Britain after he was arrested on charges of violent disorder at London's Heathrow Airport in 2006. But the hip-hop heavyweight successfully appealed the ban and received entry clearance from an asylum and immigration tribunal in January.
The Border Agency said it would challenge the ruling at a hearing next week.
In March 2007, Snoop Dogg was forced to cancel a tour of Britain with fellow rap icon P Diddy after authorities denied him a visa.
