Snoop Dogg is suing Pabst Brewing Company. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Snoop is taking Pabst to court for breaching a contract and interfering with contractual relations in a complaint filed Monday (June 8) in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Pabst, known for their Blue Ribbon beer and Colt 45 malt liquor, brought Snoop on board in 2011 for an endorsement agreement to promote Blast by Colt 45. Blast was a line of fruit-flavored liquors the brewer created, similar to the Mike's Hard Lemonade's and Four Loko's that were popular at the time. Snoop was to serve as the drink's brand ambassador from January 2011 to January 2014.

Shortly after the deal was solidified, Pabst was sold to a group of investors for about $700 million. According to Big Snoop, he is entitled to 10 percent of the sale price based on a "phantom equity clause" in his endorsement contract. The clause states, "In the event that the Blast by Colt 45 brand or the entire Colt 45 brand family is sold...during the 3-year Term of the Agreement or within two (2) years following the end of the Term, Consultant [i.e. Mr. Broadus] will receive 10 percent of the net price of such sale."

The complaint filed is for breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing, conversion and intentional interference with contractual relations, and does not specify any damages. The Bush rapper says that to date, he still has not received any compensation from Pabst, who claims that "no transaction has occurred such that Subsection (a) of the Phantom Equity Clause would be triggered," as stated in the complaint.
