Snoop Dogg launches ice cream line fronted by his Dr. Bombay Bored Ape NFT

Snoop Dogg is expanding his presence in the food world with a new line of ice creams. Dr. Bombay Ice Cream is named after the rapper’s Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT, which will also be the face of the brand. Snoop seems to be setting himself up for more food lines. Dr. Bombay ice cream is the first product line launching under parent company Bosslady Foods, a joint venture between Snoop Dogg and Happi Co., a food company that’s behind Happi Foodi frozen meals.

The pints retail for $4.98, but pricing may vary. The NFT-branded ice cream comes as interest in the non-fungible tokens has waned over the last couple of years; the floor price of Bored Ape NFTs is currently $57,000, down from nearly $207,000 when Snoop bought his NFT for about $366,000 in December 2021, according to data from NFT Price Floor. This is Snoop’s latest entry into the food space. Late last year, he created Broadus Foods with fellow rapper Master P. They created a Momma Snoop line of instant oatmeal and grits, and pancake mix, along with a Snoop cereal line. The cereals, which are made by Post, include the flavors Fruity Hoopz (a take on Froot Loops and Lucky Charms), Frosted Drizzlers (Frosted Shredded Wheat) and Cinnamon Toasteez (Cinnamon Toast Crunch). Walmart began selling the cereal line earlier this month.
