On the heels of his hosting gig with the BET Hip-Hop Awards, Snoop Dogg has announced his partnership with Cuca Fresca. The Boss Dogg became a shareholder of the Brazilian cocktail company after teaming up with Happy Socks for an artsy short film entitled The Art of Inspiration.

As reported by XXL, Snoop is thrilled about his new venture.

"I'm excited to partner with the good people at Cuca Fresca," he said. "I have mad love for the Brazilian people and culture, and look forward to spreading the word about cachaça and the cool vibes of the country to the US."

Cuca Fresca CEO Phoenix Kelly-Rappa shared the same enthusiasm.

"Snoop's reputation for being on the cutting edge of what is cool combined with his dedicated fan base will help create world-wide brand awareness for Cuca Fresca," explained Kelly-Rappa. "We are thrilled to be entering into this unprecedented partnership and can't wait to make Cuca Fresca, and cachaça, a household name."

Last month, Snoop Dogg teamed up with Happy Socks and showed off his painting skills in a short film. Despite his public beef with Iggy Azalea, the legendary West Coast rapper was able to regain his inner peace in his artistic side.

"I've always felt like painting was something I wanted to do, but I just never had time to do it," Snoop said. "I think painting gives me an emotion like no other. I can cry while I'm painting, I can laugh while I'm painting, I can be serious while I'm painting." He explains that there are things that he can't and won't do as a rapper and actor that he feels free to do with his art because "there is no limit."
