Snoop Dogg banned from Norway

Norway has placed a two-year ban on Snoop Dogg entering the country after the rapper was caught trying to bring marijuana into the country last month.

Calvin Broadus (aka Snoop Dogg) was discovered with eight grams of the drug in his luggage after sniffer dogs indicated he was travelling with the substance.

He was fined around $US8600 and banned from coming back to Norway for 24 months.

Broadus will not appeal the decision.
