Snoop Dogg sued for $25 million over rape claims

A make-up artist is suing Snoop Dogg for $25 million, alleging he and his entourage drugged and raped her during a Jimmy Kimmel Live recording, which he denies.

Snoop Dogg has been sued for $25 million by a make up artist who claims he and his entourage drugged and raped her two years ago during a recording of the Jimmy Kimmel Live TV show on the

ABC network. Needless to say, the rapper's spokesman has denied all the allegations, telling reporters that his accuser is "misusing the legal system as a means of extracting financial gain".

Snoops spokesman said: "Snoop will have the opportunity to prove in a court of law that the alleged victim is opportunistic and deceitful. We are confident that in this case, the alleged victim's claims against Snoop Dogg will be rejected."

The

ABC network, who employed the accuser at the time of the alleged incident and who are also named as liable in the lawsuit, also denied that any attack took place.

The new lawsuit follows legal action taken by Snoop against another woman who, he claimed, was trying to blackmail him by threatening to make allegations that he assaulted her.
