Snoop Dogg slammed after using picture of troubled England legend Paul Gascoigne in anti-alcohol abuse Instagram post
SNOOP DOGG has been slammed on social media after using pictures of troubled England legend Paul Gascoigne in an Instagram post showing the negative effects of “alcohol abuse”.
The American rapper, 47, was criticised after hitting out at Gazza, in a completely unprovoked attack.
Snoop Dogg shared two pictures of Gascoigne – one of him aged 20 and another aged 47 – to show just how much he’s changed.
Gazza, 52, has infamously struggled with alcohol and mental health issues over the years.
But fans have leapt to his defence after Snoop took aim – comparing himself to Gazza at the same milestones – seemingly in a bid to prove alcohol is worse for the human body than marijuana.
One supporter wrote: “Snoop Dogg is cold for posting this smh”.
SNOOP SO LOW
Another said: “Why has snoop dogg laid into Gazza like that”.
A third wrote: “Snoop Dogg disrespecting Paul Gascoigne, considering he suffered with alcoholism and other issues. F***ing disgrace.”
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the bizarre post…

Most recently, Gascoigne joined in an abusive sectarian song which includes the words “f*** the Pope” in a Benidorm boozer.
The troubled ex-England footballer appeared at the Ibrox Bar in the Spanish resort on Saturday.

Footage posted by the venue — named after the ground where Gazza played for Rangers — shows him at the £18-a-ticket Sash Bash with Gazza.
Protestant Rangers fans serenade him with a sectarian version of Tina Turner’s hit Simply The Best. Gazza can be seen mouthing: “F*** the Pope and the IRA.”
He is also filmed posing for selfies with boozy fans although he is clutching a bottle of water.
