Snoop Dogg has been banned from ever again entering the U.K. following his recent arrest after a fracas at Heathrow Airport, it has been claimed.

The rap superstar was cautioned by police last week, after an incident in the first-class lounge of British Airways in April, in which his entourage clashed with police.

Seven officers are believed to have been injured in the clashes, which prompted the caution and resulted in Snoop being banned from flying British Airways for life.

However, it has now been claimed that because of his criminal record in the U.S., Snoop, who has been convicted of drug and gun offences, will not be allowed back into the U.K.

A "source" told a U.K. newspaper that Snoop will lose millions in live revenue because of the ban. He explained: "The Home Office is taking a tough line on him.

"After the foreign criminals deportation fiasco the last thing the new Home Secretary needs is a criminal flying in and out at will."
