American singer Snoop Dogg has cancelled his upcoming Hollywood Super Bowl shows in respect of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Dogg dropped a post on his Instagram where he announced the news and said that he made the move in solidarity with the strike and also due to the uncertainty of when this will be over.
The rapper shared a note that read: “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.”
Previously, he also postponed his shows in June to show support to the actors and writers over their strike call against the Screen Actors Guild federation.
As per Daily Mail, Snoop Dogg has been the biggest supporter of the actors and writers amid the ongoing strike. He showed his solidarity by sending a food truck to the picketers surrounding Paramount Studios.
SAG-AFTRA strike
SAG-AFTRA is the union that represents most actors when they work on film and television productions in the United States.
Thousands of screenwriters in July went on strike, joining the Writers Guild of America (WGA) in calling for better pay and job security and drawing attention to disparities in the film and television industry that have grown wider in the streaming boom.
It is the first time in over 60 years that both writers and actors have gone on strike at the same time.
SAG-AFTRA’s members are seeking a new contract with the AMPTP, an agreement that they believe must account for the economic realities of the streaming revolution and the risks posed by emerging digital technologies.
