Rap star Snoop Dogg has accepted a caution by police following a disturbance at a Heathrow Airport lounge last month.
He returned to the UK this week to present himself at a London police station and was cautioned under Section 4 of the Public Order Act.
Up to 30 people in his entourage were involved in the incident on April 27 where they clashed with officials who refused to let them into the first class lounge. Most of the entourage had economy class tickets.
The group allegedly became abusive and several members of the group pushed police officers.
Seven officers were injured in the clash and Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Broadus, spent the night in jail with five of his associates. He was forced to cancel a concert in Johannesburg, South Africa because of his incarceration.
At the time, Scotland Yard said: "A 34-year old man who was arrested on suspicion of affray on April 26 returned on bail to a west London police station on May 11."
No further action over the incident will be taken against the rapper, but Snoop will no longer be able to fly British Airways. A representative for BA says he has been banned from flying with the airline for "the foreseeable future".
