In a press release for the company, Scoop stated: “I love a good fire outside, but the smoke was too much. Solo Stove fixed fire and took out the smoke. They changed the game, and now I’m excited to spread the love and stay warm with my friends and family.”
Last week, the hip-hop icon shocked millions of his fans when he released a statement saying that he has given up smoking. This news had shocked many as the rapper has been candid about his love for marijuana in the past and has launched several business ventures in the pot industry over the years including his cannabis brand, Leafs by Snoop. Many of his followers and fans labelled his move as a genius marketing ploy.
