Snoop and Diddy Cancel UK Tour Dates
The pair were "incredibly disappointed and devastated" after concerts in London, Cardiff, Manchester, Nottingham and Glasgow were called off, Polydor said in a statement.
"With late notice of Snoop being denied a visa, time has run out and it is too late to reconfigure the show," it said. "They really did not want to let fans down this way as the UK was a planned highlight of the tour.
"However, this ultimately was a situation out of their control.
Snoop Dogg , a former Los Angeles gang member who was arrested during a fight at London's Heathrow airport last year, had tried to overturn the government's decision.
The Home Office would not comment on individual cases, but said the government had the power to refuse entrance to anyone whose presence would "not be conducive to the public good."

Snoop Dogg , real name Calvin Broadus, has been performing across Europe with Combs, once his bitter rival in a notorious feud between the east and west coast U.S. hip-hop scenes.
The 35-year old, arrested during a disturbance at London's Heathrow airport last year, had been due to perform with fellow rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs, at Wembley Arena in London on Tuesday, followed by gigs in Cardiff, Manchester, Glasgow, and Nottingham.
"Snoop still sincerely hopes that the British Government will reconsider their decision and UK shows will be allowed to go on as planned," his spokeswoman said in a statement.
"Many routes are being explored to the prime minister to have the decision reversed," she added.

Dogg was previously prevented from entering Britain in May, 2006.
It was not the first problem the rapper has encountered on his European tour. Earlier this month, Stockholm police arrested him and a woman in her early 20s for suspected narcotics use.

"They feel strongly that the uniting message of the One Love Peace Tour will need to be shared with fans no matter what and discussions are underway with production teams so that Snoop can still be involved in the show," his spokeswoman said.
