United States rapper Snoop Dogg was released from a London police station on Thursday with the help of Nelson Mandela’s daughter, Zinzi.
”I think they sent a letter but I do not have the details,” Big Concerts spokesperson Lara Cohen said on Friday.
Snoop and his entourage were arrested at Heathrow airport after they allegedly hurled bottles of whisky and argued with staff.
The Big Boss Dogg, as he is recently known, had been expected to perform at the Johannesburg Stadium on Thursday, but could not make the trip.
Thousands of music fans were left disappointed and had to settle for performances by Jamali, Zola, Hip-Hop Pantsula, internationally acclaimed Mario, Pharrel and Sean Paul.
Cohen said, however, that Snoop will perform in Johannesburg on Wednesday after shows in Durban on Saturday and Cape Town on Monday.
At the Johannesburg concert on Thursday night, music fans were told to keep their tickets and exchange them at Computicket before Wednesday for that night’s gig. — Sapa
