Snoop Dogg Accused of Smoking Weed in London Hotel
- Snoop Dogg allegedly upset Muslim guests by smoking weed in a London hotel.
- The incident occurred days before he left for the Olympics.
- Accusations of using a Class B drug have been made against the American rapper.
American rapper Snoop Dogg, also known as Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., has come under fire for allegedly using cannabis at the Mandarin Hotel in London. While marijuana use is increasingly accepted in the United States, it remains illegal in the UK, where offenders can face up to five years in prison. Reports indicate that the rapper's activities caused a disturbance among hotel guests, particularly those from the Muslim community, who expressed outrage over the strong smell of marijuana permeating the historic building. Sources claim that Snoop Dogg, 52, disregarded local laws and cultural sensitivities, continuing to smoke cannabis during his stay in London before heading to Paris for an Olympic sponsorship deal. The rapper's actions reportedly angered guests who adhere to strict religious guidelines, as many Islamic scholars have condemned marijuana use, likening it to intoxicants. Despite the backlash, Snoop Dogg seemingly faced no repercussions for his behavior, with witnesses noting that he left the hotel with what appeared to be a blunt in hand. This incident is not Snoop's first brush with the law regarding drug possession. He has a history of legal troubles, including a 1989 arrest for cocaine possession and various accusations related to firearms and even murder. Although he pleaded guilty to a handgun possession charge, he was acquitted in a high-profile murder case in 1996, represented by famed attorney Johnnie Cochran. As of now, Snoop Dogg's representatives have not commented on the recent allegations.
