SNOOP DOGG SUES PABST OVER COLT 45

LOS ANGELES (AP) _ Pabst Brewing Company says it would be happy to talk to Snoop Dogg or his representatives to get to the bottom of his complaint that prompted a lawsuit. Snoop is suing Pabst because he says he is owed a chunk of the sale when Pabst sold its Colt 45 malt beer line last year. Snoop signed a contract in 2011 to endorse Blast by Colt 45, a fruit-flavoured version of the beer. He says the contract stipulates if Pabst sold Colt 45 before January 2016, he was entitled to a portion of the sale price. Pabst says neither Snoop nor his representatives contacted the company about the matter, but Snoop says Pabst told him he was not owed anything from the sale.
