Xzibit is learning a hard lesson about the rules of engagement when it comes to selling weed, and rule #1 seems to be ... don't name your company after a chemical weapon.
The rapper/entrepreneur's company -- Napalm Cannabis -- has been dragged online because its name is a sore reminder of a chemical agent that was used in firebombs during the Vietnam War ... firebombs that killed & maimed innocent citizens, including the little girl whose photo became a symbol of the horror of the United States' involvement in the war.
Napalm was also used against Japan in WWII. Its use on civilians was banned internationally in 1980 by the U.N.
Customers were deeply offended by the name, not to mention one product in particular -- a pre-rolled joint known as "The Grenade." Seems people didn't like the cavalier reference to deadly weapons of war.
As Asian hate crimes are on the rise ... the name conjures up images that should not be celebrated.
As for how this product line could even make its way to digital shelves in the first place -- Higher Path is chalking it up to ignorance & a lack of diversity. HP says, "As an entirely-white marketing team that lacks knowledge or trauma surrounding this weapon, we didn’t realize how violent & ignorant it was to promote such a brand/product. That’s on us."
Fact is ... plenty of white people also knew the misery napalm caused.
Xzibit attempted to explain his rationale, saying it wasn't his intention to co-sign on the harm napalm has inflicted on the Asian community ... it was simply a play on an old album of his of the same name. It's unclear if he plans to roll out a name change for his weed biz.

Six people were found dead in an Allen home early Monday in what police said is an apparent murder-suicide.
Officers responded about 1 a.m. to the 1500 block of Pine Bluff Drive after a family friend reported that someone at the home was suicidal, police said.
When officers arrived, they found a family of six dead inside the home.
They were identified as Altafun Nessa, 77, Iren Islam, 56, Towhidul Islam, 54, Tanvir Towhid, 21, and Farbin Towhid and Farhan Towhid, both 19. Police said they were two brothers, a sister, their father and mother, and a grandmother.
Police said they believe the brothers killed their family members, then themselves.
“Apparently two brothers made an agreement to commit suicide and ended up taking the entire family with them,” said Sgt. Jon Felty, a police spokesman.
A social-media account that belonged Farhan Towhid contained a link to a lengthy letter that presaged the killings.
Police believe that the incident happened sometime Saturday. They told KXAS-TV (NBC5) that one of the brothers recently bought a gun.

Kodak Black and his entourage were ambushed outside a fast food joint in Florida, and the shooting left one of his security guards in serious condition ... according to police.
Gunfire erupted around 3 AM Monday morning in the parking lot of a McDonald's in Tallahassee. Law enforcement tells us the shooter opened fire from a car that was tailing Kodak and co.
Law enforcement sources say the rapper's entourage was being followed by several cars attempting to cut them off as they left a nightclub, and Kodak's camp pulled into the McDonald's and blocked the entrance with a car while KB went inside to pick up an order.
We’re told one of the cars tailing Kodak went to the McDonald's, left and then came back ... and that's when people inside the vehicle started shooting.
Kodak's security guard was shot in the leg and rushed to a local hospital with serious injuries, police say, while Kodak was whisked away in an armored car and was unharmed.
Kodak was in town headlining a Sunday music festival, Cultur3 Fest, and the security guard is reportedly undergoing surgery after one of the shots apparently hit an artery. The security guard is now in stable condition.

A 23-year-old man is suspected of stealing a Kansas Highway Patrol vehicle and leading officers on a chase with speeds topping 100 mph -- while handcuffed behind his back.
Investigators are trying to determine how the suspect, Joshua D. Swartwout of Naples, Florida, managed to get behind the wheel of the patrol car & drive it more than 30 miles without the use of his hands.
"As a high-speed pursuit driving instructor for 20 years, I can only assume he was using his knees," Tod Hileman, a spokesman for the Kansas Highway Patrol said.
The Houdini-like escape unfolded just after noon on Saturday as a trooper was transporting Swartwout to a detention facility after he had been arrested on suspicion of auto theft following an earlier pursuit.
Hileman said the patrol car was not equipped with a rear-seat cage or a partition.
"He was being transported in the front seat of the car," Hileman said.
While on Highway 25, the trooper witnessed a serious motorcycle crash & pulled over to help, leaving Swartwout alone in the patrol car.
While the trooper was assisting the crash victim, Swartwout, who was handcuffed behind his back, scooted over into the driver's seat & drove off.
Hileman said the chase topped 100 mph on a stretch he described as a narrow two-lane highway with ditches on both sides.
The chase continued & headed west toward the Kansas-Colorado border. As the pursuit reached Edson, Kansas, roughly 30 miles from where it began, the stolen patrol car ran out of gas.
"The suspect, who was still handcuffed behind his back, fled on foot but was quickly apprehended," a statement reads.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — A prayer vigil was planned for Monday outside the suburban New York hospital where rapper DMX remained on life support Sunday following a heart attack.
The family of the rapper said in an email Sunday that the vigil will be held outside White Plains Hospital at 5 p.m.
“On Friday night, April 2nd, 2021, our brother, son, father, and colleague DMX, birth name of Earl Simmons, was admitted to White Plains (NY) Hospital, facing serious health issues,” the family said through a publicist. “We ask that you please keep Earl/DMX and us in your thoughts, wishes, and prayers as well as respect our privacy as we face these challenges.”
Another statement released Sunday afternoon said the rapper remained in a coma and was on a ventilator.
Simmons’ longtime lawyer, Murray Richman, said the rapper was admitted to the intensive care unit at White Plains Hospital after going into cardiac arrest. Richman said he could not confirm reports that DMX, 50, overdosed on drugs and was not sure what caused the heart attack.
DMX made a splash in rap music in 1998 with his first studio album “It’s Dark and Hell is Hot,” which debuted No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The multiplatinum selling album was anchored by several hits including “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem,” “Get At Me Dog” and “Stop Being Greedy.”
The rapper had four other chart-topping albums including “...And Then There Was X,” “Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood,” “The Great Depression” and “Grand Champ.” He has released seven albums and earned three Grammy nominations.
Last year, DMX faced off against Snoop Dogg in a Verzuz battle, which drew more than 500,000 viewers.

Former President Donald Trump's reelection campaign issued a staggering sum of $122.7 million in refunds to supporters in 2020, giving back nearly 11% of the money it raised, according to an investigative report published by the New York Times on Saturday based on an analysis of Federal Election Commission filings.
KEY FACTS:
Beginning last summer, the Trump campaign & the company that processed its online donations, WinRed, began to initiate the use of pre-checked recurring payment boxes while processing online offerings, Times analysis revealed.
According to the report, unless donors inspected the fine print of an online disclaimer & manually unchecked an opt-out box, the donor's credit card would be charged weekly until Election Day arrived.
In the lead-up to the election, the campaign "made that disclaimer increasingly opaque," the Times asserts & eventually added a second pre-checked box that automatically doubled a donor's contribution.
Eventually, financial institutions became "inundated with fraud complaints" from Trump supporters who unknowingly agreed to these recurring charges.
According to the Times, several banks & one of the nation's larger credit-card companies confirmed that, at one point late in 2020, these cases accounted for up to 3% of all fraud complaints received.

Tina Turner's new documentary on HBO has revved up fans who are incredulous she's not already in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist ... but there's something they can do about it.
Since "Tina" premiered in late March -- and even before -- many of the legendary singer's fans have expressed outrage she's only in the RRHOF as a duo with Ike Turner ... her abusive and manipulative ex-husband and musical partner.
Tina and Ike were inducted way back in 1991, but she went solo in 1984 so that's further infuriated people ... because it means she'd been eligible for HOF induction for years but only got on the ballot this year.
Long story short -- fans are pissed and have been letting it out on Twitter the past week, but Greg Harris, President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum tells us ... if fans want to help Tina's chances they can -- with the RRHOF fan vote.
The way it works -- fans can vote for the top 5 among the Class of 2021 nominees, which along with Tina includes Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Foo Fighters, Carole King and Rage Against the Machine. The top vote-getter among those 5 will win the official "fan vote."
Now, RRHOF voting is notoriously cryptic and secretive, but we're told the fan vote will be one of 1,000 votes from artists, historians, journalists, and members of the music industry.
That may not sound like much, but if fervent Tina fans vote her in ... ya gotta think it'll inspire others to follow suit.
Plus, it helps that she's beyond deserving.
Fan voting lasts until May 7, so if you're among those incensed TT's not in ... now's your chance to let your voice be heard.
BTW -- if Tina does get inducted, she'll be just the second female artist to enter the HOF twice ... following Stevie Nicks in 2019.

Grammy-nominated rapper DMX was on life support at a New York hospital Saturday evening after he was admitted the previous night in grave condition after suffering a heart attack.
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was rushed to a White Plains hospital from his nearby home around 11 p.m. Friday, his longtime attorney Murray Richman told NBC New York.
The 50-year-old had to be resuscitated by medical personnel at the hospital's critical care unit, Richman told NBC News. The lawyer said DMX remains on life support after misspeaking earlier Saturday and stating the rapper had come off life support and was breathing on his own.
Richman did not say if the rapper suffered an overdose, as has been reported by a number of outlets.
"I've spoken to the family and the family and I are quite close with each other. I am concerned about his well-being and mindful of his significance. I have known Earl for over 25 years and I believe that his music is quite poignant, very important. He's truly a poet of our time," Richman said.
Richman said Simmons had been in the midst of making a movie.
Well wishes came pouring in on social media Saturday from many celebrities.
Hip hop producer Eric B and fellow rapper Missy Elliott asked their followers to pray for DMX.
