A feminist campaigner has pulled in more than 2,600 signatures requesting Australian Immigration to deny American rapper Snoop Dogg's entry in the country prior to his tour this month.
The petition posted on Change.Org by feminist campaigner Talitha Stone has gathered more than 2,600 signatures and urges Australian Immigration Minister Scott Morrison to deny Snoop Dogg entry, reported Contactmusic.
"Snoop Dogg's lyrics glorify violence against women which puts all women in danger. His behaviour also contradicts our National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women," she said.
"There should be no place for recording artists who glorify misogyny and degrade women for entertainment," she added.
The 'Gin and Juice' hitmaker will head to Brisbane on 18 January for the first of his Australian shows.
