Leaders of the Ethio-Africa Diaspora Union Millennium Council (aka Rastafari Millennium Council) have sent a 7-page demand letter to Snoop.Dogg.
The group wants the rapper to pay them "financial and moral support" they claim he committed, issue a public apology and stop using the name "Lion" according to TMZ.
In the documents they claim to have made it clear to Snoop that "smoking weed and loving Bob Marley and reggae music is not what defines the Rastafari Indigenous Culture!"
The group says they will sue Snoop if he does not agree to their demands.
Bunny Wailer
Bunny Wailer, an original member of Bob Marley and the Wailers is also upset with The Doggfather.
Wailer claims Snoop has engaged in "outright fraudulent use of Rastafari Community's personalities and symbolism." He says Snoop failed to meet "contractual, moral and verbal commitments" in regards to his documentary "Reincarnated."
Snoop traveled to Jamaica last year to record his first reggae album, also titled "Reincarnated." The documentary details the Long Beach rapper's journey as he is "embraced by the Jamaican people, is positively impacted by Rastafarian culture, and becomes reincarnated as Snoop Lion," according to the documentary trailer.
Snoop issued a statement last July, describing the name change as a spiritual awakening. "I wanted to bury Snoop Dogg and become Snoop Lion, but I didn't know that until I went to the temple and received the name Snoop Lion from the Nyabingi priest,” said Snoop. “From that moment on, I started to understand why I was there and was able to create something magical in this ['Reincarnated'] project ... something I haven't done before in my career.”

Murder Mook may never be able to live down the photo of him smoking an e-cigarette from in between someone's toes. The Ruff Ryder emcee made a video recently trying to explain that it was his girl's foot and they were just joking around, but a couple of his fellow battle rappers aren't buying it.
The first person to bring the pic to light was Serius Jones, when he retweeted it on Twitter.
Now Math Hoffa is clowning Mook as well.
"I don't wanna battle you n*gga," Math told VladTV, in response to a question about the pic. "Because in a battle n*ggas talk mad close. And every now and then a little bit of spit might get on somebody and the things you do with your mouth disgust me. I wanna be 10 feet away from you at all times. Any time you're around me don't even talk in my direction because I can tell you do some dirty sh*t with your mouth,"
Math said he cannot begin to comprehend what Mook is doing in the pic and thinks it's actually Mook's fellow Dot Mob member T-Rex's foot.
"That's strange. You're smoking an electric cigarette off of T-Rex's foot. Why would you post that up?" Hoffa said. "And then when n*ggas call you on it like 'yo that's Rex's foot.' 'Nah, that's my girl.' No it's not n*gga look at that foot. If that's you girl's foot I don't wanna see her back. F*ck her face. I don't wanna see her back."
Will Mook ever be able to battle rap again? At this point his career in that arena is looking shaky.
