Snoop flees stage after bottle fright. He prides himself on his gangsta cred but the mean streets of Nottingham proved too much for Snoop Dogg.
The rapper stormed off stage after an over-zealous fan pelted him with a bottle on Saturday night - and his security went all-out to find the culprit. We sincerely hope our p.i.m.p isn't turning into a w.i.m.p!
Our stage-side spy in the city's Arena venue reveals: "Snoop's gig was a sell-out and his performance was going down a storm. The crowd was really psyched up and a couple of fans thought it would be funny to chuck plastic bottles."
Whatever floats your boat...
Our mole continues: "Snoop was just getting into his track, What's My Name? and the place was going mental. Suddenly the music stopped and Snoop was looking really angry and freaked out."
It turns out the hip-hop star, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, had been hit on the side of the face and was less than impressed with the crowd's behaviour.
According to our source: "The band stopped and Snoop stormed off as he shouted: 'That's the end of the show,' into his mic. The crowd were really disappointed and annoyed that some idiots had ruined what should have been the highlight of the show. He did over-react, though. it was only a bit of plastic."
Luckily for Snoop, 34, he boasts some very protective security. "His guys are huge and they just dived into the crowd to try and find the person who'd thrown the bottle - but they had no luck.
"The whole Arena was chanting Snoop's name to try and get him back on stage but he was really p*****d off and refused to go back on." Snoop has served time for a drug conviction, been found not guilty on a murder charge and is currently facing a £13million lawsuit from a make-up artist who claims she was drugged and raped by the rapper.
But his visit to the UK all started so well. His performance with N.E.R.D frontman Pharrell Williams was one of the highlights of last week's Brits, and his gig at the Hammersmith Apollo went off without incident.
A spokesman for Snoop said last night: "Snoop was hit on the side of the face with a bottle during the last track so he told the crowd the show was over. He was upset that this person had spoiled the show for everyone else."
That's one fan in the Dogg house...
