Snoop Dogg had an endorsement deal with Colt 45 for their fruit flavored beverage. Snoop is now saying that the deal was larger then originally thought. Snoop is suing Pabst Brewing Co., because he feels he is entitled to 10% of Colt 45’s net value upon selling. It was sold for $700 million back in November of 2014 so of course Snoop believes he should be collecting and never received a check. Pabst has come forward only to say that Snoop never approached them to talk about his alleged share since the company switched owners. “We have not been contacted by Snoop Dogg or his representatives about this issue. We are investigating the matter and would be happy to talk to Snoop or his representatives to try to get to the bottom of this.” No idea how much Snoop is looking for but his lawsuit is that he believes that he made it cool for people to drink the Colt 45 brand. Keep it locked for updates.

OG Maco decided to takes shots at Travi$ Scott over twitter for having an ATL sounding song with a bunch of ATL rappers featured on it. Macos first tweet read “What’s impressive about an Atlanta record made by a non-Atlanta native, backed by two of the biggest artists and producers? Anyone?” followed by “I think it’s more impressive that the real Atlanta youth is making major strides without co-signs and stacked teams. We empower each other.” After that Maco says that he is a fan of Scott but he wants him to stay in his own lane and not use the ATL sound which was obviously met by a lot of hostility on twitter because Maco seemed to backpeddle and continued to say how he thinks Scott is an amazing performance.

Hot 97’s Summer Jam had 1.3 million people tune in last year from tons of different places on the internet for all to see. This year the radio station is giving the TIDAL streaming service exclusivity to live streaming the event.
