A Lebanese promoter has filed a suit against Snoop Dogg, claiming he owes him money for a Middle East tour and damaging his reputation for smoking what appeared to be marijuana at a Beirut bar.
According to Courthouse News Service (via Soul Culture), Roger Kalaouz and Associates filed the suit against the rapper, Doggy Style Music and its president, Ted Chung. He says that his company promoted his first concert in the Middle East, which occurred on August 20, 2009, and spent $800,00 to publicize the event.
Snoop later released a video of the concert that featured footage of him smoking what resembled marijuana, which is illegal in Beirut. As a result, “KA’s longstanding reputation as one of Lebanon’s premier entertainment promoters has been severely damaged. RKA has been subjected to scrutiny and accusations due to the actions of Snoop Dogg and DSM directly arising from activities to which RKA was not a party.”
He also claims that Snoop refused to pay consulting fees for a show in Abu Dhabi. Kalaouz is seeking damages for “breach of contract, fraud, concealment, conspiracy and false promise, unfair competition, and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage.”

Here’s a thought. If someone is paying you good money to come do a show then be a professional and leave the mary jane at home.
This article Iz laughable.
OMG Snoop smokes Weed. GTFOH!
Do Your Homework dumbass promoter, and stop being queer about a rapper who blaze up.
Don’t Like? Don’t Book it .
TRUEST SHYT
“Don’t Like? Don’t Book it”
Even Charlie Sheen waits till after an episode wraps before snorting mountains of coke. Snoop…. Grow up. I’m sure you could have waited till after the concert before lighting up. That glacoma excuse just isn’t cutting it anymore.
Is everybody in Lebanon dumb like this nigga? Cause I hope they not!!!
Racist Cunt
He should act as a professional and is clearly unable to do this, the fact that he’s worldwide star dosnt mean he can just break the law and bend the rules, I like his music but he did wrong of this is true
i wonder how much money Snoop has left. nigga is like 50 and he’s still putting in work at every opportunity. Seems desparate
For all weed addicts you don’t need weed to be a good rapper use your tom tom instead that’s a good mapper it will show you the way home weed sends you in the wrong direction take heed…….
