Things are heating up for Bill Cosby as the legendary comedian and television star deals with the public scrutiny following various rape allegations. Leave it to Snoop Dogg to find humor in the shocking headlines. The West Coast rapper recently shared memes of the allegations on Instagram after NBC and Netflix cancelled a new comedy series and special.
Snoop first shared a meme featuring a picture of Cosby in the studio with the words "Webbie — 'Gimme That' feat. Bill Cosby" placed over the picture.

As noted by HipHopDX, on the first verse of "Gimme That," Webbie raps lyrics similar to the ones in "Blurred Lines" that got Robin Thicke in trouble. "You know you want it/Girl don't act like you don't want it/Girl I want it just as bad as you do/And look see I can tell from this lil vibe," he raps.
The following day, Snoop took to social media to poke more fun at Cosby. Over the summer, tons of memes featuring Kermit The Frog drinking tea flooded the Internet. In the meme shared by the "Drop It Like It's Hot" rapper, Kermit sips tea with two red and yellow capsules at the bottom of the mug. The photo reads, "Guess who made this tea ... it rhymes with Will Crosby."

As previously reported, Netflix announced that it is shelving a special show Cosby had already filmed for it. It was scheduled to begin streaming next week and it is now on hold. NBC was also working on a new Cosby project that would have been executive produced by The Cosby Show's Tom Werner. The network pulled the plug on the program soon after Netflix made thir announcement.
