Snoop Dogg has filed a trademark application to use his name to sell hot dogs and
other kinds of sausages under the brand Snoop Doggs.
“Snoop’s attorneys filed it as a so-called intent-to-use application, meaning Snoop
has not yet launched a brand, but that he has a serious intent to do so,” Billboard
notes.
Should Snoop make his foray into the hot dog business, one can’t help but recall his
2016 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, when the rapper was tasked with watching
a video about how hot dogs are made.
“This is a hot dog!? Oh cuz, I ain’t never eating a motherfucking hot dog!” he said. “If
that’s how they make hot dogs, I don’t want one. I’m good.”
The news arrives just over a year after Snoop ventured into the liquor business,
partnering with Prestige Beverage Group and Trusted Spirits on his own brand of gin
called Indoggo gin.
Granted, Snoop wouldn’t be the first rapper to start his own gourmet meats brand.
Back in October, E-40 announced his entry into the culinary world with Goon with
the Spoon. The Bay Area legend partnered with Justin Kinder of Kinder’s Meats, Deli
and BBQ to introduce his new line of packaged sausages and burritos, which include a
variety of flavors: teriyaki pineapple chicken sausage, Philly cheesesteak chicken
sausages, hot beef sausages, mild beef sausages, and the Choices (Yum) Sausage
Bundle, as well as turf burritos.
