Snoop Dogg hasn't given up on his bid to be allowed entry into the UK, after he was banned three years ago.
The rapper is now looking for the support of UK celebrities to back his case, including footballer David Beckham and Sir Paul McCartney.
On his bid to have his blocked visa ruling overturned, Dogg tells the Mirror: "I love London and I'm desperate to come back."
"I've called David Beckham, Sir Paul McCartney, hell, I want to get the whole of the Beatles to help me get back in."
"I'm trying to get through to Madonna as well. I'd love them all to write to the Prime Minister to change his mind."
Snoop Dogg had his visa banned following an altercation at Heathrow Airport during 2006, where he was arrested along with his entourage.
The rap star is aso hoping fans will assist his cause, adding: "You got to help me too. London was one of the first places I came to when I first made it. The people are so warm and friendly and I need to be there for my creativity."
