Snoop Dogg, Snoop Lion – whatever his name is now – has found himself in trouble with the law, for the second time this week.

The rapper was stopped by police in Italy on Friday as he prepared to board a private plane bound for Britain while carrying $422,000 (£270,000) in cash.

European Union laws dictate that travellers may only carry up to around £7,000 in cash across borders.

Snoop's lawyer, Andrea Parisi, told Reuters news agency: "We clarified everything from a legal point of view. The money came from concerts he had performed around Europe. There was no crime; it was just an administrative infraction."

This comes after the rapper was stopped by authorities in Uppsala last Saturday, after he appeared to be 'under the influence of drugs'.

After the arrest, Snoop accused Swedish police of “racial profiling” and went on several social media rants.
