The Game, Snoop Dogg & Minister Farrakhan Host Anti-Violence Gang Summit

Earlier today, The Game and Snoop Dogg hosted a citywide summit that encouraged gang members to unite against stopping violence within their communities. Earlier this month, shortly after the police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, The Game and Snoop Dogg helped kickstart a campaign called H.U.N.T., which stands for "Hate Us Not Today." Their first initiative was to lead a peaceful march to the LAPD Headquarters, where both rappers met with top-ranking officials from the department. Earlier today, H.U.N.T. teamed up with the Nation of Islam and Minister Farrakhan to host a citywide forum that specifically called for the presence of gang leaders in the greater Los Angeles area. The goal of the summit was to unite men from opposing gangs in an effort to bring forth solutions about putting an end to violence within the black and brown communities. The Game announced the event earlier today on his Instagram. He began the invitation by writing, "Los Angeles, on behalf of myself, Snoop Dogg, and the honorable Louis Farrakhan, I want to extend the invitation to all CRIPS, BLOODS, ESE's & all other gang members, major figures & GANG LEADERS from every hood in our city as well as the surrounding cities to our meeting 11am this morning."

Snoop Dogg & The Cops Seem To Disagree Over Whether His Equipment Was Stolen

The reports from Snoop Dogg and the police don't really line up. Earlier this week, it was reported that a bunch of essential musical equipment -- as well as luggage and laptops -- were stolen from a van associated with Snoop Dogg's stage show in San Fransisco. Shortly after the news hit TMZ, Snoop denied that any gear had been taken, insisting that he had everything with him, and calling the story false. "They didn't get me, they got somebody else," he stated, revealing that he was only just on his way to the Bay Area. Strangely, none of this lines up with the story police have on file, which states that "Snoop Dog's [sic] Silver Suburban" was broken into, and that everything for the show the following night was in the van, according to TMZ. It's also written that one of the band members was "standing by the van, freaking out about the magnitude of the loss." Either none of this info got to Snoop, or this is one hell of a mix-up, but the rapper was able to play the show anyway, so things seem to have worked out.
