Fans in Norway won't be seeing Snoop Dogg perform live for at least two years after he was banned from entering the country for two years because he was caught trying to bring a small amount of weed in with him last month.
According to the Associated Press, Snoop was on his way to a music festival in June when drug sniffing dogs detected eight grams of the sticky icky in his luggage. He was also carrying more cash than is legally allowed. He admitted to the two offenses and was fined 52,000 kroner ($8,600).
Snoop's legal representative in Norway, Holger Hagesaeter, told The Associated Press on Saturday that his client "can live with the decision" and has no immediate plans to appeal it.

Calling it "the smartest decision I've made in my career," super middleweight contender Andre Dirrell officially declared himself signed with TMT Promotions, the promotional firm to be run by millionaire recording artist 50 Cent and millionaire fighter Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Although the website, Thisis50.com, already had announced the recruitment of Dirrell and former featherweight titleholder Yuriorkis Gamboa to promotional contracts, Dirrell spoke publicly about the situation for first time during an interview with RingTV.com.
The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, has obtained a license in New York, has has received an application for one in Nevada, according to Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer,
A former Olympic bronze medalist, Dirrell (20-1, 14 knockouts) said that Jackson assumed control of his career "about a month ago" along with Mayweather, a jailed eight-belt, five-division titlewinner who is expected to be released from the Clark County Detention Center on Aug. 3.
Dirrell, who turns 29 in September, said he expects to compete in his first bout in mid-November under TMT Promotions -- which stands for "The Money Team -- and that he plans to end his career fighting under its promotional banner.
DirrelI was unsure when things would go into motion for Gamboa (21-0, 16 KOs), who recently became a promotional free agent following an out-of-court settlement that was reached with his former promoter, Top Rank.
Dirrell said that he initially met with Mayweather and Jackson in early May, the weekend that Mayweather unanimously decisioned Miguel Cotto for the WBC's junior middleweight belt at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Dirrell has been trained by his uncle and grandfather, Leon Lawson Jr. and Leon Lawson Sr., respectively.
RingTV.com: You have signed with Floyd Mayweather, 50 Cent and The Money Team Promtions, correct?
Andre Dirrell: That's correct
RingTV.com: When did you do it?
AD: It was sometime last month. Like the end of last month, so it's been about a month now.
RingTV.com: How did this come about?
AD: We just had a sit-down out in Las Vegas. The called me out to Las Vegas, and I flew out to Las Vegas and we had a sit-down. Everything went pretty good.
Then I followed up with another visit. And after I sent the contracts to my lawyers, I came back and I told them, "I want to be on The Money Team."
RingTV.com: What did you like about what you were told?
AD: Honestly, it's just the leadership. It's the leadership of 50 Cent. But when you sit down with 50 Cent, man, people can say, "well, he's just a rapper."
They may say, "he deals with music, he deals with endorsments, he ain't got no time for boxing." But I looked at like this: He's a total businessman, and a 100-percent wraparound. He's always talking business.
Anytime that I need advice, he's willing to give it to me, man. He's just always on his game. So he's been around Floyd for years, and they've been talking to me. He knows the game, man. When I got to see that side of him, I knew I was in good hands.
RingTV.com: What was Mayweather's influence?
Now you've throw in "The Money Man," Floyd Mayweather, now he's a whole different ballgame. He's been in my shoes and he is in my shoes. We were with him during the week of the Cotto fight.
We were in training camp with him. We saw him work hard. He works so hard, that it really gave me motivation to want to get in there and do my thing.
But he had the meeting with me during camp. That surprised me, because I didn't want to do anything to alter his training. But me being there, it was motivation for me.
It showed me what I had to do to get there. So we met and talked during his camp leading up to the fight, and then, a little bit after that, that's when I signed.
RingTV.com: What else impresed you?
AD: Well, we were able to sit down with HBO, you know? And that's another thing. Until now, I have never had a chance to ever sit down with a television executive, whether it was ESPN or Showtime.
I never had that experience for any of my fights. But that's the first.

Back in April a series of tweets were sent out from Havoc of Mobb Deep's Twitter account aimed at his longtime partner in rhyme, Prodigy. The tirade included accusations of Prodigy being a homesexual. And an invitation to a one on one fight between the two was offered.
Read what was written below.
@prodigymobbdeep we got a meeting, lets see if u built to show ur face. prodigy a bItch and I’m gonna show it, follow!! ground breaking new. i got n*ggas in the jail system to to back up that prodigy was f*cking homes in jail. prodigy prove me wrong! please. i have a big announcement…. and n*ggas that was locked wit him know the truth. now i will silence…. and let the jails take care of the rest. thats on everything, i had to smack P ask him. prodigy u pussy! u long island a$$ b*tch. I’m about to expose u! i can’t wait till n*ggas in jail that was wit u back my sh*t up!! next time i see u , u getting layer out, on camera!! i can’t wait! how u say u live in jersey, but right there in queens??? I’m on top of u… pause… foot on thy neck!!! in a minute…. n*ggas that was in the jail wit him gonna blow him up first hand.!!!! prodigy a hider not a rider. nothing hacked P homo y’all. no hack this havoc. P IS HIDING!!! IM GONNA SHOW U P GETTING KNOCKED OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! WATCH HE TRY TO DODGE ME!! THINK ABOUT IT… HOW COULD HE SAY,,, QB MURDERERS ??? LETS DO A ONE ON ONE!!!!! ME AND P!!! HE SO BUTTTT HE WILL AVOID!!!! OH, ONE MORE THING, HE THINK HIM AND RIHANNA GETTING MARRIED!!!! LMFAOOOOOOOO. THIS50…. HOLLA AT ME XXL HOLLA AT ME P A FAKE JAY Z HOLLA BACK!!!!!
Mobb Deep fans were understandably confused wondering what was going on with one of the longest running rap groups in history.
A day later Havoc denied sending the tweets. He blamed them on a hacker who had found his lost phone. He then released the statement below.
“Just getting back into NY after my Easter weekend with family and friends in Jersey,” the release said. “I left my phone at a gas station yesterday evening while on my way to Jersey after a glorious Knick’s game. To all Mobb Deep fans: it’s business as usual! It’s Mobb Deep all day!!! My twitter account @THEREALHAVOC will be down until further notice. The only other real account is @PRODIGYMOBBDEEP. Ignore the rest. One!”
Today, Friday July 27th in an interview with AllHipHop, Havoc is coming clean and admitting to sending the tweets. He blamed them on being angry, but added that Twitter was the wrong place to air Prodigy out.
"The tweets is crazy. I believe that Twitter is not a place to resolve any kid of beef that you have with anybody," Havoc said. "So those are the reasons why I retracted my statement because I have love for the fans. I was speasking from a standpoint... I was mad. But still being truthful with how I felt, but it was just the wrong thing to do at that time because it was just like out of nowhere. That's what people thought," Havoc continued. "I think that that was irresponsible at the time. And there was a better way to roll out how I wanted to get my point across. And it didn't make me look good. Because for me to have to retract my statement. Sometimes you gotta just man up to it. And it's like people go through sh*t. And then a lot of people be going on Twitter. And a lot of people be going through sh*t where they have to say, 'OK my bad.'"
Havoc went on to say that he loves Mobb Deep and the fans. However, he didn't sound 100% sure about the future of the group.
"I love Mobb Deep, and even more than that I love the fans even more because without the fans we wouldn't be here," he told AllHipHop. "Everything I do is for the fans. Right now Mobb Deep is on hiatus indefinitely until things get hashed out. Eventually the real story will come out. There's two sides of the story, only one has been spoken for up to this point."

Ever since Drake's arrival on the music scene he has been able to successfully incorporate both rapping and singing into his songs. That ability, along with his skillful songwriting has endeared him to hundreds of thousands of fans and make him a very rich man at the young age of 25.
But is he the first rapper that is also a successful singer?
In a new interview with The Jewish Chronicle the Toronto native says he believes he is the first.
"There were people who incorporated melody before me," Drake tells the JC. "But I would deem myself the first person to successfully rap and sing."
Clearly Drake did not think this through before answering because artists like 50 Cent, Lauryn Hill, Missy Elliot, Bone-Thugs-n-Harmony, Nelly, Andre 3000, DMX and many more we could name have been rapping and singing for years before Drizzy came along.
Twitter is already buzzing with fans disputing Drake's claim.
What do you think of Drake's comments?

Krayzie Bone has been arrested for drunk driving according to TMZ. The 39-year old former Bone Thugs-n-Harmony rapper was pulled over by Los Angeles police this morning at around 12:30 AM on a routine traffic stop.
Cops noticed Krayzie acting buzzed and gave him a field sobriety test which he failed. He blew over .10 on the breathalyzer. Well above the legal limit in California, .08.
He was arrested on suspicion of DUI and he was booked at a nearby jail.
Krayzie was a founding member of Bone-Thugs-n-Harmony. He left the group in 2011 to pursue a solo career.
"Due to uncontrollable circumstances, it's basically time for me to move on and start embarking on different endeavors that I've already had planned in my life," Krayzie Bone said at the time of his departure. "[I'm trying] to go another level in this music game, and just trying to grow and become greater an what I do, and concentrate on the new generation of artists that I have and puttin' back into the up and coming artists, the new fresh talent that's coming about."
