Snoop Dogg & Master P, seen at the 2017 Essence Festival at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday, July 2, 2017, in New Orleans.
Rappers Snoop Dogg and Master P are suing Post Foods and Walmart , accusing them of intentionally leaving the musicians' cereal off store shelves and hiding it in stockrooms to sabotage it.
A big product under Broadus Foods is Snoop Cereal, sold in flavors that include "Fruity Hoops with Marshmallows" "Frosted Drizzlers" and "Cinnamon Toasteez."
Snoop Dogg and Master P approached Post Consumer Brands, which the lawsuit calls a "breakfast juggernaut," seeking a partnership.
According to the lawsuit, when it was placed on shelves, Snoop Cereal was popular and sold well.
