Looks like MIA has pissed off homeland security or something. Reportedly, she’s not being allowed inside the US because she might be a terrorist threat. Make your own Piracy Funds Terrorism joke here.

Meanwhile, the UK has banned Snoop Dog from entering their country because of a fight in a London airport.

AllHipHop.com reported:

Rapper Snoop Dogg has been permanently banned from entering the United Kingdom, after a brawl in London’s Heathrow airport in April.

Snoop Dogg and an entourage of almost 30 people were en route from Los Angeles to Johannesburg, South Africa, to perform at a major festival.

The rapper and other men became upset when they were denied entry into British Airways’ first-class lounge.

A huge brawl ensued and seven officers suffered minor injuries.

I would suggest that maybe a little racism played into their refusal to let Snoop into the first-class lounge, but I highly doubt that Stephin Merritt works there.
