Rapper Snoop Dogg risked being hit with a fine in Holland after openly flouting the country's smoking ban. The "Drop It Like It's Hot" star - real name Calvin Broadus - was performing at the Heineken Music Hall in Amsterdam when he lit up mid-performance.

Smoking was banned in the country in July this year, including at the infamous cannabis coffee shops where you can now only smoke pure marijuana.

The star recently told Access Hollywood he has given up smoking the drug, insisting he "didn't need it anymore."
