Snoop held by immigration for having 'too much cash'

Rapper SNOOP DOGG was held by immigration officials in Norway on Friday (14Oct11) as they quizzed him over the large sum of cash he was carrying.

The hip-hop star travelled to the country ahead of an autograph signing session at an Adidas store prior to his Friday night show at Oslo's Spektrum Arena as part of his Doggumentary trek.
