Snoop Dogg and P Diddy have been forced to cancel a series of joint concerts that they had planned together.
The cancellations have come after Snoop Dogg was denied a visa into the UK.
A spokesman for the tour told the BBC that the abandonment of the tour dates only came after "credible behind the scenes efforts were made to no avail to reverse the decision".
He added that both the performers were "incredibly disappointed and devastated" at the decision.
In an interview with MTV, Snoop Dogg spoke about his frustration regarding the denial of his visa: "They knew I was coming in six, seven weeks ago, so they could have denied me access then.
"I cannot control my past - me being an ex-gang member, ex-drug dealer - but I know how to do what's right, how to turn my life around."
