LONDON (Reuters) - American rapper Snoop Dogg was in police custody on Thursday after being arrested with five other men following a disturbance at London's Heathrow airport, a police source said.

The 34-year-old star, a former member of the notorious Los Angeles Crips gang, was held after a fight broke out when police were escorting him and his entourage out of the airport on Wednesday evening.

Scotland Yard said seven police suffered minor injuries, including a fractured hand, after they were called to the airport at around 6 p.m. (6:00 p.m. British time) to deal with a disturbance involving some 30 people in a British Airways business lounge.

"Members of the group became abusive," said a police spokesman, after officers told them to reclaim their baggage.

"Six members of the group, all aged in their 30s, were subsequently arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and affray," the spokesman said.

Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, became one of rap's biggest stars after his debut album, "Doggystyle" topped the charts in 1993.

Dogg and the other men, all Americans, were taken to two west London police stations where they were held in custody.

Media reports said Dogg was waiting for a flight to Johannesburg in South Africa.

A British Airways spokesman told the Daily Mirror: "There was an incident involving a group of passengers at our lounge where some passengers were rude and abusive to our staff and that is something we do not tolerate."

Typical embarassing American "star" (thug).

I will never understand how big companies will hire this creep to promote their products.

He is an otherwise law-abiding thug, (if you don't count drugs and weapons violations ) just committing disturbances the British won't do.

(Please tell me he is emigrating to South Africa )
