Snoop Loopz sounds identical to Fruit Loops.

He should be happy they ain't charging him with copyright infringement and such.

That's why it was asked to be taken off the shelves because the grocer could've also suffered from a potential lawsuit by just selling the product.

However, I do understand Snoop and Master P's perspective 🤷🏾‍♂️ but even the generic brands know better than to name their cereals too similar to the big brands.

The name change was a good idea.

Master P is tacky as hell. I remember when he bit OutKast “Hootie Hoo” chorus outright, but on the track listing changed the spelling to “Hoody Hoo”.

We booed him off stage when he came to Atlanta for Birthday bash.

Above the fray.
This is out of P's playbook. He saw during the BLM protests that corporations wanted to diversify their food products and partnered up with food producers to make food products by a "Black Man". He gets to sell food products, corporations get to say they support black owned businesses, and everybody eats. The thing is that food producers like Kellogg, Post, Nabisco always get the best spots in supermarkets on average, and when breh's who are really enthusiastic about their product realize that you will be put in the back, they don't get too happy. The passionate breh will be peeved that he will get a janky spot and will probably have to give up a certain percentage of profit for their baby to be put in a store. P on the otherhand doesn't really care as the food industry especially cereal has a huge markup and he's still getting a bag by being the "POC owned cereal" without pissing off the big brands.

We can laugh at the shoddy clones of products that P has, but he's probably making more on food in a year than 99% of rappers will ever make in a year.
Post was on point, and P pretty much confirmed what you wrote in the new video.
