Snoop Dogg Faces Lawsuit

Snoop Dogg is 'facing a lawsuit' after posting a picture mocking the appearance of a gay man on Instagram - but the rapper's followers have pointed out that the pair look alike.

Snoop posted a picture of carer Cortez Booze on the social media site on Saturday along with the words: 'Whose auntcle is this?'

Since the post was made, Mr Booze has faced a torrent of abuse online, with people calling him a 'shemale', 'confused', and 'ugly'.

Dozens of people commented on the post, which was liked by more than 39,000 people.

One Instagram user said: 'That shemale ain't gone win. U get wat u get if u choose to dress how u dress. Consequences for your choices so use some common sense.'

 

But others thought that Mr Booze had a similar appearance to Snoop Dogg, with one adding: 'He Looks Just Like Yu Snoop.' 

Mr Booze, who works at a care home in Edgewater, Maryland, told TMZ that he planned on suing Snoop Dogg, otherwise known as Snoop Lion, because of the homophobic abuse he received.

He has also asked Instagram bosses to remove the offending image. It was removed from the site today.

*They look alike Y'all*
