Rap artist implicates packaged food giant and huge box merchant of “questionable dealing” and “wicked actions” in the middle of Snoop Cereal collaboration
Snoop Dogg and Master P have actually submitted a suit versus Post Consumer Brands and Walmart, implicating both the packaged food giant and huge box seller of conspiring versus the release of a Snoop-branded cereal line.
The suit, submitted Tuesday by legal representative Ben Crump on behalf of the 2 rap artists, declares that Post and Walmart took part in “questionable dealing” and “wicked actions” in an effort to mess up versus Snoop Cereal’s success.
Snoop and Master P released Broadus Foods– and the Snoop Cereal and Momma Snoop cereal lines– in 2022 with the hopes of including “variety to the food market” along with “influence financial empowerment amongst minorities and add to charitable causes dealing with appetite and homelessness.”
Not long after, Broadus Foods started pitching their item to business like Post, which the suit declares rather made a full-blown deal to purchase the rap artists’ business. Broadus Foods turned down the deal, and rather participated in a collaboration with Post so that Snoop Cereal would be dispersed along with Post’s lots of brand names at all significant sellers.
“However, Post, in spite of accepting the collaboration, apparently screwed up the success of Snoop Cereal by avoiding it from reaching customers through misleading practices, particularly at Walmart,” Crump declared.
“For example, Broadus Foods competes that boxes of Snoop Cereal were deliberately kept in the warehouses of Walmart shops, marked with ‘no area’ coding, avoiding them from being put on the shop racks.”

Broadus Foods is looking for undefined damages as an outcome of suffering by these “misleading trade practices,” which was likewise apparently a breach of the agreement in between Broadus and Post.
In a declaration to Signboarda representative for Walmart stated that the seller “values our relationships with our providers, and we have a strong history of supporting business owners. Lots of aspects impact the sales of any offered item, consisting of customer need, seasonality, and rate among others. We will react as proper with the Court once we are served with the grievance.”
