“As entertainers let's try some sh*t next year. Minding our own business. Not this respecting each others family, dead homies, or area they come from. Stop using someone else’s significant other as a one up to the other person. Actually showing the same love you expect to get,” Wiz wrote.

“Not sayıng any of these are a direct cause of violence but changing them could help,” he added.

The pleas by Snoop and Wiz came barely four days after rapper Drakeo was fatally stabbed to death during an altercation at the Once Upon a Time festival in Los Angeles on Saturday, December 18.
