“I have no connection to the SNOOP ON A STOOP product and will be taking legal action against those making it and whoever is selling it,” Snoop tweeted.

Legal action
Following Snoop's post, one of the companies he threatened to sue pulled down their promotional posts online and recalled their products from the market.
According to Chris Milnes, a representative of MuckyChris, the printing company behind the Snoop On A Stoop products, they have since removed everything online.
“I was contacted by Snoop’s lawyers and immediately removed all Snoop references from my website within a day,” Milnes told the New York Post.
Milnes, however, noted that he may have stopped the sale of Snoop On A Stoop on his site but other people had already copied his idea and were selling the same Snoop's products.
