Snoop Dogg leaves 800 fans hanging in Schaumburg

Snoop Dogg leaves 800 fans hanging in SchaumburgAs reported here earlier in the week, Snoop Dogg was in town to promote his Snoop Youth Football League.

He was seen at press conferences for the league and at the Adidas and Best Buy stores on Michigan Ave.

According to NBC5 Chicago, Snoop was supposed to be at John Barleycorn's Schaumburg location late Friday night. 800 people paid $25 each to get into the club. The place was packed and the Gin and Juice was flowing, but Snoop Dogg was a no show.

NBC5 Chicago said, "Club management announced at about 1:45 a.m. that the rapper was not going to appear, causing the crowd to boo and throw items at the stage. Schaumburg police dispatched officers to the scene, but no arrests were made."

John Barleycorn in Schaumburg seems like an unlikely location for Snoop Dogg to appear considering that all his other appearances were downtown. He was seen earlier in the night attending a fashion show at Crimson Lounge in Hotel Sax downtown. I have been to bars in Schaumburg and I think Snoop made a wise decision!
