Snoop Dogg could face lawsuit over 'homophobic' Instagram post

Cortez Booze looking to take action over rapper's social media post

And another video game: Snoop promoted the "social online" (IE: for complete nerds) game Mafia Wars by blowing up a truck in the middle of the Nevada desert. It was watched by an audience of 2 million on a live stream.

A caffeine-laced alcoholic drink: When liquor company Colt 45 asked Snoop to front the campaign for their new caffeine-laced beverage, the rapper was met with a barrage of criticism as the colourful looking cans the drinks were served in looked like children's soft drinks. The question is, would you drink any alcohol Snoop Dogg endorsed?

Call of Duty: Bored of sitting in a darkened room for 6 hours methodically gunning pixels down? You're in luck - Snoop Dogg will narrate Call of Duty: Ghosts for a special add on voice pack. All well and good, but what happened to the Snoop Lion that said "No Guns Allowed"?

Car insurance: Are insurance adverts EVER not annoying? Repeat offender MoneySupermarket.com roped in Snoop for their latest spot, possibly in order to draw in some young n' hip customers. We can't help but think they massively missed a trick by not getting Snoop to say "Money Snoopermarket". Just a thought.

Hot Pockets: Alongside Sports Illustrated model Kate Upton, Snoop advertised the microwaveable meat pastries (euw) in a bizarre, pun-filled music video where he played a baker. We still don't really understand why Hot Pockets exist, but somewhat enjoyed the advert.

Snoop Dogg could face a lawsuit over an alleged 'homophobic' post on his Instagram page.

The rapper had previously been praised for making a stand against hip hop homophobia when he appeared at the end of Sacha Baron Cohen’s Bruno. However Snoop is now under fire after posting a photograph of a fan on his Instagram page with the caption: "Who's auntcle is this?"

The photograph was actually of carer Cortez Booze, who revealed he has been the recipient of a wave of homophobic and transphobic abuse from the rapper’s fans in response to the post. According to The Independent, comments included: "That shemale ain’t gone win," and "U get wat u get if u choose to dress how u dress. Consequences for your choices so use some common sense."

TMZ reported that Cortez approached Instagram to remove the image but when the image remained, he contacted lawyers in order to pursue legal action against the rapper.

The mischievous star is yet to respond to the claims but earlier last week announced he will release a new album in March called 'Bush'. The LP will be produced by Pharrell Williams and will also feature contributions from Stevie Wonder.
