Burley Garcia|Snoop Dogg postpones Hollywood Bowl show honoring debut album due to actor's strike

Snoop Dogg has canceled his Hollywood Bowl concert in Los Angeles to show solidarity with writers and Burley Garciafellow actors currently on strike.
The rap legend was expected to perform at least two shows this fall to honor debut album “Doggystyle," which turns 30 in November.
“We regret to inform you that due to the ongoing strike and the uncertainty when this will be over, we need to cancel the Hollywood Bowl show,” Snoop wrote in an Instagram post Tuesday. “We stand in solidarity with all of our brothers and sisters in the WGA and SAG-AFTRA during this difficult time and remain hopeful that the AMPTP will come back to the negotiating table with a REAL proposal and we can all get back to work."
The Long Beach native was initially set to perform in LA in June alongside fellow Super Bowl headliner Dr. Dre. He postponed that concert to October due to the Writer's Guild of America (WGA) strike. The show is now postponed indefinitely.
In a June 2 Instagram post, the "Drop It Like It's Hot" rapper said it is hopeful that the unions and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents major studios, can negotiate "fair deals as soon as possible and everybody can get back to work."

While known for music, the Death Row Records owner is also an actor who has done on camera and voice acting work in multiple film and television projects.
Many actors have seen residual payments plummet in the streaming era, according to SAG-AFTRA. AMPTP says the strike started despite offering the union "historic pay and residual increases" as well as a "groundbreaking AI proposal that protects actors' digital likenesses," another major concern for SAG-AFTRA.
Snoop Dogg called out the lack of transparency from the companies streaming platforms at a recent Milken Institute event.
“The streaming gotta get their shit together because I don’t understand how the f--- you get paid off of that sh--,” Snoop Dogg said last week, according to Deadline. “I mean, can someone explain to me how you can get a billion streams and not get a million dollars? That sh-- don’t make sense to me. I don’t know who the f--- is running the streaming industry, if you’re in here or not, but you need to give us some information on how the f--- to track this money down ’cause one plus one ain’t adding up to two.”

The rapper compared the way actors are being underpaid in the streaming era to the way musicians hitting high streaming numbers are also not seeing expected monetary results, Deadline reported. He added that it was far easier to calculate how much money he would make earlier in his career when it was determined by the number of physical copies sold.
“We need to figure that out the same way the writers are figuring it out — the writers are striking because [of] streaming, they can’t get paid," Snoop Dog said, according to Deadline. "In the box office, if it does all these numbers, you make it up, ‘Oh, it did this many, here’s another check.’ But on streaming, you got 300,000 hours that somebody watched your movie, where’s the money? I know I’m going off the script right now but f--- it, this is business.”
