The grand opening of Snoop Dogg\u2019s first brick-and-mortar business in his hometown of Long Beach, California, has been postponed due to safety concerns.<\/p>\n

The West Coast rapper\u2019s team told KTLA 5 that the postponement follows the deadly May 1 shooting at the grand\u00a0opening of\u00a0Marathon Burger<\/a>, a franchise\u00a0tied to the late rapper\u00a0Nipsey Hussle. The shooting hurt two people and killed one.<\/p>\n

Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., was set to open his second cannabis retail location, S.W.E.D. (Smoke Weed Every Day) Long Beach<\/a>. This is the long-time cannabis advocate\u2019s second storefront for the brand. He has another location near LAX.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe store reflects his commitment to creating economic opportunity locally, including jobs and community investment, while building a legacy brand rooted in cannabis culture,\u201d a press release explained.<\/p>\n

He was also set to receive a proclamation from the City of Long Beach and was supposed to receive a city certificate during the ribbon cutting.<\/p>\n

\u201cLong Beach made me who I am,\u201d\u00a0the \u201cDrop It Like It\u2019s Hot\u201d rapper said.\u00a0\u201cOpening S.W.E.D. in Long Beach is my way of showing love to the community that showed love to me.\u00a0We\u2019re\u00a0creating jobs, opportunities, and a space that celebrates the culture.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The look of the SoCal storefront honors the early days of hip-hop by \u201cmixing\u00a0cutting\u2011edge\u00a0technology with\u00a0street\u2011inspired\u00a0visuals, vibrant colorways, and throwbacks to the classic Snoop era.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside, there are retro arcade games,\u00a0the West Coast rapper\u2019s personal lounge,\u00a0two live DJ booths, and\u00a0a state-of-the-art\u00a0hologram of him as well.<\/p>\n
