Snoop Dogg has expressed his disappointment over the attention given to controversial New York rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine following his release from prison.

6ix9ine, real name Daniel Hernandez, released new track "Gooba" and an accompanying video in an Instagram Live session that broke records for the social media platform.

However, Snoop was unimpressed and criticised the media for its handling of the rapper's attempt at a comeback.

“They gotta stop pushing this [rat],” Snoop commented on an Instagram post by TIDAL's chief content officer, Elliott Wilson.

“All these media outlets making snitching cool. I'm old school. F*** 69 and everybody pushing his line right now all New York GZ feel me on this and if you don't f*** u2."

He added: "@meekmill if you allow sucka s*** you a sucka. Love you cuz stay sucka free.”

Fellow rapper Meek Mill has been involved in a feud with 6ix9ine since his release, and also criticised his "Gooba" video, calling him "super trash".

Mill had also questioned Wilson for sharing the 6ix9ine video over new music by Lil Durk.

Snoop recently appeared as a delivery driver in an advert for takeaway service Just Eat. Clips show the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” musician sat in the studio working on the track, dressed in regency period costume and riding a delivery bike.
