Rap legends, Snoop Dogg and Master P, have filed a lawsuit against retail giant Walmart, accusing the company of intentionally tryna stick ’em for their paper. According to their attorney, Benjamin Crump, Walmart and food brand Post conspired together to bury their company, Broadus Foods, after initially agreeing to partner with them.

The lawsuit alleges that Post first tried to buy out Snoop and Master P, and when that failed, they tried to pull a shady move by pretending to share Snoop’s and P’s vision and adopting their cereal as their own and distributing it in major retailers like Walmart. However, instead of showcasing the Snoop Cereal next to other top-selling products, Walmart allegedly hid it away in back stockrooms, far from the eyes of potential buyers.

Snoop Cereal initially launched in Walmart in July 2023, but the suit claims that customers complained about not being able to find it just a few months later. Online stores allegedly showed the product as sold out, but in reality, it was stowed away in stockrooms, coded to remain unsold. The lack of sales reportedly led to financial losses for Snoop Dogg and Master P.

The lawsuit accuses Walmart and Post of engaging in deceptive trade practices and seeks damages for the alleged mistreatment. Snoop Dogg and Master P are determined to hold the companies accountable for what they believe was a deliberate attempt to sabotage their cereal brand.

It remains to be seen how this legal battle will unfold, but the allegations made by Snoop and P are certainly cause for concern. Walmart and Post have both released statements regarding this situation.

Walmart stated, “Walmart values our relationships with our suppliers, and we have a strong history of supporting entrepreneurs. Many factors affect the sales of any given product, including consumer demand, seasonality, and price to name a few. We will respond as appropriate with the Court once we are served with the complaint.”

Post Brand says, “Post Consumer Brands was excited to partner with Broadus Foods and we made substantial investments in the business. We were equally disappointed that consumer demand did not meet expectations.”

Hmmm 🤔…kinda sounds like a case of  major corporations possibly trying to take down the independent brands to me. But hey…I could be wrong. Anywho…hoping for a positive outcome for Snoop, Master P, and Broadus Foods.

After successfully recovering from a stroke, Snoop Dogg’s 24-year-old daughter, Cori Broadus, has a lot to celebrate. Recently, she enjoyed some quality time with her pops and legendary singer, Charlie Wilson. The heartwarming reunion showed just how far Cori has come in her journey to overcome adversity.

In a video posted on her Instagram, Cori shared a glimpse of her progress. Walking down the street, basking in the warm sunlight, she radiated positivity and strength.

It was a major contrast to the alarming messages she had shared on January 18, 2024 while she was hospitalized. At that time, Cori wasn’t sure if she would fully recover, because her blood pressure had spiked to dangerous levels. Thanks to the dedicated care of doctors and nurses, she was able to find her path to recovery.

Cori has suffered from Lupus related symptoms ever since she was diagnosed at 6 years of age. However, it’s unclear if her recent stroke was directly linked to her Lupus status.

Thankfully, just eleven days after her stroke – on Monday, January 29, 2024 – Cori joined her dad, Snoop, at Charlie Wilson’s 71st birthday bash. It was the perfect cherry on top after the Gap Band OG received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Cori looked healthy and vibrant as she danced along to her dad’s performance. Together, Charlie and Snoop brought the house down with their rendition of “2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted,” with Snoop holding down his and Tupac’s iconic verses.

The celebration didn’t stop there. Snoop also had a surprise of his own. He was unexpectedly reunited with his long-lost Nate Dogg tribute jacket, which is now in the possession of journalist, Jake Rohn. It was a touching moment that showcased the lasting impact of Snoop’s music and artistry.

Cori’s remarkable recovery journey serves as an inspiration to all. Her determination, coupled with the support of her loved ones, has given her the strength to overcome adversity. As she continues to make progress, she reminds us of the power of resilience and the importance of cherishing every moment. We wish Cori continued strength and success on her path to recovery.

And y’all know we couldn’t end this without sending a huge congratulations to Charlie Wilson on his Hollywood Walk of Fame star! It was long overdue! 👏🏾👏🏾

In a recent episode of the “All The Smoke” podcast, Snoop Dogg candidly shared about his philanthropic efforts alongside 50 Cent, shedding light on their secret donations to fellow rap legends in need.

While the duo prefers to keep their generous acts under wraps, Snoop couldn’t help but discuss their commitment to supporting their own. All we can say is, get your tissues read.

Supporting the Hip Hop OG’s:

Snoop Dogg emphasized the importance of lookin’ after our own. He expressed on the podcast, “You’ve got to take care of your own, you’ve got to set an example.” He disclosed that their assistance extended to both physical and financial aid for artists facing challenging times, stating:

“We do it privately. I’ve done it many years with some of the artists that needed help, that needed physical and financial help. It’s not a public thing for me. I’m not going to say, ‘I helped him.’ But when they did that publicly, that’s what it’s supposed to be.”

Role Models for the New Generation:

Apart from their discreet philanthropy, Snoop encouraged younger rap stars to follow suit. Snoop stated, “Respect your elders because you making all this money — not that you have to — but if you love this rapper and respect this rapper, you see he’s down on his luck, he may need some money but he has pride. He can’t even ask you ’cause he used to be you,” he said. “But you have enough man in you to say, ‘Unc, I’ma throw you something.’”

The Collaborative Philanthropy of Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent:

Snoop Dogg also shed light on his coincidental collaborative efforts with fellow rapper, 50 Cent, explaining how they had called upon hip hop legends to support them privately. While he refrained from disclosing specific names, he explained that he and 50’s goal was to lend a helping hand to O.G.s who might be reluctant to ask for assistance:

“There’s been many times where me and 50 Cent together have called some of our O.G.’s and put bags on him. And O.G. like, ‘Oh man, no.’ We ain’t trying to hear that ish. We know you need it. Here,” said Snoop.

“But [50] feel like I feel. If it’s a O.G. that need it, that’s down, that don’t know how to ask for it, I put it in. Sometimes they’re like, ‘Oh, 50 just…’ And I’m like, ‘Damn, he beat me to it.”

50 Cent Confirmed Snoop’s Statements

ILOSM fam,’ we’re sending a big congratulations to comedian/actor, Mike Epps, and his blushing bride, after the two quietly got married on Sunday, June 23, 2019. What we’ve now learned is that the shindig wasn’t a complete ‘secret,’ because Snoop Dogg, T.I., the iconic Whispers, and the legendary Doug E. Fresh, all managed to get an invite and help him usher in the new chapter of his life.

However, his current marital bliss did not come without a somewhat tense journey to get there. So before we share all of his beautiful festivities with y’all, we’ll take a quick trip back down memory lane to the intense divorce tussle with his first wife, Mechelle.

First Up: Where Epps & His EX-WIFE Came From, To Get Where He is Now…

It was back in September 2017, that we reported Mike Epps had just learned a whole new meaning to Johnnie Taylor’s soul classic song, “It’s Cheaper To Keep Her.” That’s when he and his now ex-wife of 12 years, Mechelle Epps, had finally made their divorce final, and the ex-Mrs. came up big time. Matter of fact, Mechelle’s new theme song could very well be Johnny Kemp’s joint, “Just Got Paid…it’s Friday night….” after the hefty payday she received in their divorce.

The Biggest Names In The Game On One Stage

Pharrell Williams made it up to his fans in a big way only a day after his cancelled show. He was forced to cancel the first day of his inaugural Something in the Water music festival in his hometown Virginia Beach. The rapper surprised fans Saturday night with guest appearances by his biggest collaborators. Including Jay-Z, Diddy, Busta Rhymes, Usher, Snoop Dogg, Missy Elliott, Timbaland, Charlie Wilson and Tyler, the Creator.

“Pharrell and Friends,” the nearly 2 hour set found Williams dipping into all aspects of his 27-year career. He kicked started the show with N.O.R.E’s “Nothin,” Nelly’s “Hot in Herre,” Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” and Future’s “Move That Dope”. Next he introduced Snoop Dogg for “Drop It Like It’s Hot.” Snoop stayed onstage for the crowd-friendly “Who Am I? (What’s My Name?)”. And of course they had to perform Wilson for the trio’s 2002 hit “Beautiful.”

Worst Kept Secret

When Williams began “Frontin,” his debut solo single, fans already knew what was about to happen. Jay-Z may have been the festival’s worst-kept secret. Not too long before, rumors and spottings of him surfaced.

The rapper’s appearance recieved one of the biggest applauses of the night. He stayed on for “Public Service Announcement,” “Excuse Me Miss” and “I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me).”

Something in the Water is almost an expression of a love letter to the N.E.R.D rapper’s home city and state. It is an organized festival and community event. Even the city council came out to show love. The rapper showed love to his city and presented his protégé Fam-Lay to perform his highly underrated 2003 song “Rock n Roll” for the local crowd. The mood was slightly dampened when Timbaland performed nearly an entire song with a broken mic. An unintentional air of absurdism engulfed the show, as the Virginia rapper mute-rapped to the crowd. Jumping around the stage and gesticulating his arms despite anyone being able to hear him.

An Unlikely Match

The worlds jaw dropped when VH1 announced that Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart were teaming up for a cooking show. What could a 47-year-old California-bred rapper, as well known for his rhythms as his unabashed love of weed and a 77 – year old Westchester-based domestic doyenne possibly have in common? Nobody was sure it would even make it past the first season.

Chemistry between the unlikely pair is definitely undeniable. The third season premiere of their Emmy-nominated show airs this week tonight. To kick start the season, Matthew McConaughey and Method Man face off to see who can craft the better 4/20-related munchies. Isla Fisher will sit in as guest a judge.

“I like his laid-back energy, I like his outspokenness, I like his sense of timing,” Stewart complimented her co star during a Today appearance. “And I really, I actually like to watch him cook. I mean he’s so particularly, his little tiny bits of this and that, and it all finally comes together.”

As for the Snoop, he appreciates Stewart’s willingness to share her skills. He describes her as “the big sister I never had, being able to correct me, to teach me, to show me how to be better, to give me something to aspire to be. Like, we need that in life and this is what I didn’t have.”.  Now three years in, the rapper cannot imagine existing without her. “I love Martha, like, I love her for real. He continues, “like, when I see her away from me, I get jealous when I see other people with her. But then I have to understand, she’s Martha Stewart, so she has to give the world what they want.”

How it All Started

Originally the pitch was for a series that included “lots of funny talk, silly games, and actual recipes,” . Stewart shared her vision with Architectural Digest, as a platform that displayed the twosome whipping up their own versions of a dish. With the help from celebrity friends and in between Stewart whips up cocktails;

“I feed them to Snoop, who’s not really a drinker, so he gets totally drunk off of them”.

The pair eagerly agreed and signed on, they quickly got to work in 2016. Their first season featured guests including Seth Rogen, Ice Cube, and Ashley Graham. Special guest Wiz Khalifia joined them for five days of shooting in L.A. before Snoop resumed his High Road Tour.

“Martha kind of pioneered this as far as like letting rappers become a part of daytime television because we were not actually accepted,” Snoop shared.

Snoop Dogg’s son is grown and looking just like him these days — and seems to be doing quite well for himself. But here’s what he thinks of his dad now…

At the time Snoop’s family secret first made headlines, his son — Julian Corrie Broadus — was only 9 years old, according to Deez Gossip.

The source says Julian’s mother was one of Snoop’s old flames from high school, Laurie Holmond. Anyway, Julian first came forth on Snoop’s reality show, Father Hood.

For this, Snoop was forced to stand in the light, after Julian and his mom gave details to Star magazine, according to the source. Specifically, they focused on Snoop’s lack of participation in Julian’s life.

After the publication obtained paternity tests proving Snoop was, indeed, Julian’s father, the truth was out. According to Laurie, they hooked up at the La Reve Hotel in Hollywood. And even then, when she told him she was pregnant with Julian, he mentioned not knowing how to tell Shante.

Nevertheless, “when Julian was born, Calvin was right there, and he took responsibility like a man,” Laurie told the source.

So, Here’s What His Son Looks Like Today>>>

HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA — A legend in the rap game, Calvin “Snoop Dogg” Broadus, Jr. is set to have his name chiseled into the famous sidewalk of American entertainment history.

According to Variety, Snoop will be honored on Monday, November 19, by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. The ceremony will take place on the Hollywood Boulevard strip, and he’ll receive the 2,651^st star to be awarded by the city.

While his award category is for “Recording,” Snoop Dogg is valued for his all-around, life-long accomplishments — including those outside of the entertainment industry, itself.

For instance, Ana Martinez — producer for the Hollywood Walk of Fame — states the following regarding the honoree:

“Snoop Dogg is one of those people who can do anything. He raps, he acts, he hosts a television show, he cooks, and helps community kids with his philanthropic work. He is a man of the ages, and we welcome him to our Hollywood Walk of Fame.”

According to the Walk of Fame‘s official website, Jimmy Kimmel will be on-site to help honor the famed star — along with Leron Gubler (president and CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce), Dr. Dre, and Quincy Jones.

FYI: If you’d like to live stream the event, it will be available at 2:30 EST on that date. Just click this link.

The official source also notes that Snoop’s wife, Shante Broadus, and family will be among honored guests.

ON TOP OF THAT

Not only is Snoop Dogg getting his star on the Walk of Fame, but he’s also celebrating the 25^th anniversary of his debut, classic album, Doggystyle. Originally, this album released in November 1993.

The source mentions as follows.

“Since 1993, Snoop Dogg has released 18 studio albums, sold over 40-million albums worldwide, reached No. 1 on Billboard charts internationally and received nearly 20 GRAMMY®nominations. He has set records with his seminal album Doggystyle, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and sold over 800,000 copies in the first week.

With all the contributions Snoop has made to the industry, as well as the community through charities, foundations, and youth guidance, Calvin “Snoop Dogg” Broadus, Jr. is more than deserving of this award and acknowledgement.

So, a huge congratulations goes out to the D-O-Double-G!

Daz’s Threat To Kanye: ‘Stay In Calabasas Or Get Fu—d Up’

Although Daz didn’t make his reason for threatening Kanye clear to the general public, he did make the threat, itself, public in a major way. So major, that the Cali bred ex Death Row Records Dogg Pound rapper took to Instagram to tell Kanye to stay away from ALL of California, except the upscale Calabasas neighborhood.

Check out Daz’s video message to Kanye below, but just in case you’re at work or sitting around kids, you may wanna read his message, instead of playing it out loud, just saying…so here it is:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BiBNwubAzet/

Daz Dillinger: “Yo, national alert- all the Crips out there, y’all FU&K Kanye up. You see hat muuuhfu*ka, F**k his a$$ up on GP. It’s Crip sh*t ni&&a. We gon’ show you how we come together and ride on your muthaf**in’ a$$. …So better not ever see you in concert, bett’ not ever see around the LBC [Long Beach, California]. Better not ever see you around California. Stay in Calabasas, you hear me? ‘Cause we got a Crip alert for Kanye. You don’t speak on Crip gods ni&&ga, we the Crip gods, know what I’m saying? […] So all the Crips out there, you see that ni&&a, bang on his a$$, f**k his a$$ up.”

Geesh! After transcribing Daz’s video message, I feel like my fingers need to be cleansed with some of my grandmama’s Old School ‘anointed water’…LOL. So many cuss words to get one message across, but I get where you’re coming from Daz, it’s all good. Anywho, check out his video message below…

https://youtu.be/SxBRNsi6edM

Why Is Daz Really Mad At ‘Ye?

Two reasons, circulating around the internet, as to why Daz is threatening Ye’s safety. One could be due to the fact that Daz is the cousin of his former Death Row label-mate/Crip gang OG, Snoop Dogg. Since Snoop has been goin’ in HARD on Kanye’s pro-Trump antics, Daz may have just felt the need to join the party.

The second reason could be due to the fact that Daz may not have appreciated how Kanye name dropped the Crips in the end of his latest track, “Ye vs. The People,” which also features T.I.. Toward the end of the track, Kanye says “Like a gang truce, the first Blood to shake the Crip’s hand.”

Recap Of Snoop Hilariously Trolling Kanye Over Trump

Speaking of Daz’s cousin, Snoop, if you missed the previous report on how Snoop comically dragged Kanye from here to Timbuktu and back, here’s a quick recap:

As most of us have heard by now, starting on April 27th, Kanye sparked a media firestorm after re-emerging on social media, with all sorts of bro-mance type tweets, professing his unwavering “love” for for his “brother,” Donald Trump. He also bashed former President Barack Obama in the process. Needless to say, Kanye is catching hell from celebs and fans from ALL walks of life and all races.

After Kanye showed his true colors, Snoop has been trolling the hell outta him, urging him to “Get out” and away from the ‘sunken place’ of the Kardashians:

https://www.instagram.com/p/BiAbzx9g91n/

Again, we’re not sure if Daz’s threats to Kanye have anything to do with Snoop. But one thing is clear- one cousin chose the comical route to teach ‘Ye a lesson, while the other is clearly making physical threats. Hopefully their issues won’t go past social media beef.
