Controversy

In the same year as the release of Hustlaz: Diary of a Pimp, Snoop Dogg also acted as the host in the Girls Gone Wild show Doggy Style, where he films a Mardi Gras party. [5] After the release of the DVD, two women featured in the film accused Snoop Dogg and other members of the production team of coercing them into participating. Snoop settled his part of the lawsuit and formally severed his professional relationship with Girls Gone Wild, citing the lack of racial diversity (namely the overrepresentation of white women) in their videos. [6] [7] [8] In response, he suggested producing an alternative version of the show featuring Black and Latina women more prominently, although the plan for a more racially inclusive pornographic special never came to fruition.
