Snoop Dogg's 4/20 Party Gets Shut Down by Police

LAPD tells E! News they had to put an end to his cannabis festival, but the rapper just celebrated somewhere else

Snoop Dogg had a little trouble celebrating his favorite day of the year. 

The rapper held his annual Snoop Lion 420 Festival in Los Angeles on Saturday, where he invited "celebrity friends and members of the general public for a joyous marijuana celebration," according to the party's description.

But he didn't even get to hang out with his fellow cannabis enthusiasts, because the cops got there first.

The LAPD confirms to E! News that the public event was shut down on Saturday afternoon just as Snoop was arriving because "there were too many people, fire access issues, parking issues and noise problems. There was also a  van transporting people to a parking lot which had no permit."

They add that "it was handled very peacefully" and that Snoop was "very cooperative." No arrests were made.

Regardless, the celeb wasn't about to let 4/20 go to waste (especially with preparations already made), so he just moved the party elsewhere and celebrated with a few friends.
