Rap stars never travel light - or alone. When Snoop Dogg, headed for South Africa from Heathrow he brought along 30 of his homeboys and their bad attitudes.

After being refused entry into the first-class lounge because of their loutishness, the posse took their rage out on staff at the duty-free shop, allegedly hurling bottles of whisky across the floor. After refusing to calm down the police were called, to which the crew went "berserk". One of the rapper's entourage left a policeman with a fractured wrist, while several others had cuts or bruises.

Snoop and five of his men were arrested on charges of violent disorder and affray and spent the night behind bars.
