Gangsta rapper Snoop Dogg was arrested last night after an amazing “mini-riot” at Heathrow airport.
The US star was held by cops along with four of his entourage following the bust-up.
Onlookers said the row broke out after most of the 50-strong party were refused entry to the British Airways first-class lounge.
They moved on to a duty-free shop and began throwing bottles of whisky to the floor.
When cops arrived one of Snoop’s bodyguards was said to have gone berserk and attacked six officers.
Airport staff said one minder, who looked over 7ft tall, threw a cop across a room.
A worker said: “The officer was around 6ft 2ins but he picked him up like a little kid and sent him flying.”
“Snoop tried to get all his flunkies into the BA lounge. The problem was only a couple of them had first-class tickets.
