Snoop Dogg Is Granted An Australian Work Visa

Snoop Dogg has now been granted an Australian work visa, meaning he can finally tour the country with the blessing of the government.

The rapper is already scheduled to tour with Ice Cube in October and as we reported yesterday, actor Russell Crowe wrote to the government showing his support for the hip-hop star - saying he posed no threat.

Officials granted the visa after giving Snoop a character assessment. Their original concern for not allowing Dogg in to the country, was because of his criminal record.
