The rapper and lawmaker team up to discuss the affect of gun violence on society. Snoop, Waters highlight gun violence

Political partnerships come in all shapes and sizes. Try this one on: Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and … Snoop Lion (aka Snoop Dogg).

The two are set to appear at a roundtable in Los Angeles on Saturday to discuss the effect of gun violence on society. It is hosted by the League of Young Voters and BET and will also feature rapper T.I. and Executive Director of the League of Young Voters Dr. Rob “Biko” Baker. The NAACP Youth & College Division and Casey Family Programs are also sponsors of the event.


Snoop Lion has been outspoken about gun violence in recent months, including in a song, “No Guns Allowed,” which has become the hashtag (#NoGunsAllowed) for the June 29 event.

In a video promoting the event, Snoop Lion says, “I just felt like it was necessary for me to make a record that spoke to the violence, spoke to me wanting to have a good time tonight with no guns allowed, with no guns permitted so that everybody can go home and enjoy tomorrow.”
