This sparked the response, "My name is alread raisn tha stock price of Yahoo uhearme!! Bout to call a board meeting!", from Snoop Dogg.

Snoop Dogg struck fame in the early 90s after being discovered by fellow West Coast rapper, Dr. Dre, and has since gone on to release 11 albums.

He is currently featuring in a new thriller, 'The Big Bang', which is a detective story involving a missing stripper, with a 'Cluedo' type storyline. Watch the trailer here:
