Rapper Snoop Dogg has begun a campaign with MTV to gain entry into Australia after being banned from the country in April.
The rapper was denied entry into the country due to his criminal record – particularly recent offenses. Snoop has teamed up with MTV to run a series of shorts in Australia, which features footage of the rapper’s last visit to the country in February.
“Journey with me as I become a citizen of the land Down Under,” said Snoop in a press release. The ads will begin to air Thursday, July 5.
The 11-minute short, which will be broken into 19 spots, will feature Snoop on beaches, purchasing a home, and letting everyone know to “get the girls ready … and put on the barbecue.”
The spots are also accessable through MTV’s mobile and Internet subscribers. Fans can log onto http://www.mtv.com.au/snoop/ to vote for and support Snoop’s battle to gain citizenship.
