Are Snoop Dogg 'Doggystyle' Concerts Impacted By The Strike?

Snoop Dogg made no mention of which aspect of the concert will be affected by the strike. Technically, since the show will not be aired on television or in film, the live concert shouldn't be affected by the SAG-AFTRA and the WGA strike.

Even though Snoop Dogg is a SAG-AFTRA card holder, he is not participating in his concerts as an actor, as it was not for film or television.

Earlier this week, Snoop Dogg advocated for the writers and actors and talked about a similar ordeal that recording artists face against streaming platforms and the low payout they get from the streaming era. (via Deadline)

"We need to figure that out the same way the writers are figuring out... The writers are striking because streaming, they can't get paid," he argued. "Because, when it's on the platform, it's not like in the box office. In the box office, if it does all these numbers, you may get an up - 'Oh, it did this many, here's another check.' But on streaming you got 300,000 hours that somebody watched your movie. Where's the money?"
