As you can imagine, there were plenty of emotional reactions over the news of East Coast Foods Inc., the parent company of Roscoe's House of Chicken 'n Waffles, filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, but none were as honest, or priceless, as Snoop Dogg's.
TMZ caught up with two iconic Los Angeles rappers, Warren G and The Doggfather himself, as they were coming out of Lure Nightclub in Hollywood, Tuesday night. The pair was asked to share their thoughts on Roscoe's financial hardships.
Warren G responded in utter disbelief.
"I ain't even know," the Regulate rapper from Long Beach said.
While Snoop seemed legitimately surprised — he suggested the perfect solution.
"What happened?!" Snoop said with a stern look on his face after hearing the news. "Bankruptcy? Roscoe's bankru — . . . no they didn't! I guess I'm going to have to buy it man, and make it Snoop Dogg's Chicken 'N Waffles, homie. They play too much man, I'm goin' go on and get it."
Snoop has publicly shown his love for Roscoe's in the past, in one instance, even taking Larry King to the waffle place, because he said it's his, "favorite spot."
As chicken and waffle lovers hold out hope for the future of Roscoe's, nothing is certain. If anyone is going to save the Roscoe's soul food empire, however, Snoop Dogg is the man for the job.
