VIDEO Snoop Dogg’s Message To Clippers Owner Donald Sterling: Rappers Respond To Sterling’s Racist Rant

Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has caught the ire of some of rap and hip-hop’s biggest stars, including the legendary Snoop Dogg.
A report and audio clip published by TMZ on Friday highlights some of Sterling’s racist comments towards his girlfriend V. Stiviano, and among them he tells her not to bring any more black men to Clippers games and derides her Instragram-posted picture with Lakers legend Magic Johnson.
Snoop, arguably one of the biggest names to bring rap into America’s mainstream and a fixture in hometown L.A.’s sports scene, ripped into Sterling with an expletive-laced video on Instagram earlier on Saturday, as reported by Deadspin.
Warning: he uses very coarse language.
Philadelphia-based rapper Meek Mill took to Twitter against Sterling as well.
Donald sterling is the definition of racism .... He could b your judge.... Your doctor..... you teacher etc... I bet nothing happens 2 him!

The NBA has issued a statement saying it will fully investigate the matter, and new commissioner Adam Silver will reportedly arrive in L.A. before the Clippers Game 4 matchup against the Golden State Warriors, according to Yahoo!Sports.
Former Clipper and current Brooklyn Net Shaun Livingston also spoke to the New York Times about Sterling’s rant and how other players might feel about the emerging scandal.
Shaun Livingston said the latest Donald Sterling incident was crazy but implied it was not all that surprising given his known track record.

"Look at what's gone in the past," Livingston said of Sterling. "It's very unfortunate, but I think it kind of tells the same story."

Shaun Livingston said he and other players will be watching closely to see how Adam Silver and the NBA handle this.
