Snoop Dogg promote underage drinking?

Snoop Dogg is embroiled in controversy after promoting an alcoholic energy drink.

The Drop It Like It’s Hot hitmaker is the face of Blast by Colt 45 and has come under fire from campaigners who allege the brand will promote underage boozing.

Snoop real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. has filmed a promotion video to boost the brand ahead of its launch in the U.S. next month.

However, activists have reacted furiously at the beverage’s manufacturers, the Pabst Brewing Company, over the can’s colorful packaging and fruity flavors, which include grape and strawberry lemonade, alleging the beverage will appeal to underage drinkers.

And now they are targeting Dogg for his involvement with the drink, which boasts a 12 per cent alcohol content.

Snoop recently revealed he gets his soccer star pal David Beckham to review his albums before he signs off on them.

“D-Becks is one of my guys,” he said.

“Whenever I make a record and get to the last few stages I call him in and give him a copy so he can hear it before it’s done.

“The Beckham family are my family too. They’re automatic, straight to the top.”
