For yet another time, rapper Snoop Dogg may possibly be denied entry into another country, this time the Long Beach native has the Immigration Department in Australia a little skeptical.
After initially giving Snoop Dogg's provisional approval on his visa, the Immigration Department in Australia decided that they would instead conduct a full character assessment to see if Snoop would be allowed entry into the country.
According to a spokesperson for the Immigration Department, the full character assessment was a result of public concern.
"Mr. Broadus has not been granted a visa, there are further steps required beyond character assessment before a visa is granted. The department has now decided to do a full assessment of the character of Mr. Broadus," a department spokesperson said. "Community complaints have no effect on the grant or otherwise of a visa. Each application is assessed individually on its merits."
Snoop Dogg is awaiting approval from the Australian Immigration Department in order to tour with Ice Cube in October.
In 2007, Snoop Dogg's visa request to enter the United Kingdom was denied by officials because of an incident with Snoop and his entourage that happened the previous year at Heathrow Airport in London.
Snoop Dogg's latest album Ego Trippin' was released earlier this year.
