Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg has teamed up with an Australian winemaker to release ‘Snoop Cali Red’, his first red wine.

Snoop will partner with Australian wine brand 19 Crimes, a subsidiary of industry juggernaut, Treasury Wine Estates. 19 Crimes’ wines are exported prolifically to Snoop’s native USA, where the rapper has apparently taken a liking to them.

“I’ve been a fan of this wine and I’m excited to unveil my ‘Snoop Cali Red’ this summer and share the experience with all my fans,” Snoop Dogg said in a statement.
