From Guardian, where you can read more on Snoop’s latest foray into technology:

The latest musician riding the photo-sharing bandwagon is Snoop Dogg (aka Snoop Lion), with the launch of an iOS and Android app called Snoopify Sticker Camera.

Snoop worked with retailer Upper Playground, developer 99centbrains and marketing firm Cashmere Agency on the free app, which gets fans to “take photos of your friends or environment and turn them into snoop-themed masterpieces” by adding virtual stickers.

Snoopify isn’t trying to compete with existing social networks: it shares images to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, with fans encouraged to add the hashtag #snoopifyapp when posting their pictures, to spread the word. Some stickers are free, while others are sold in 69p packs via in-app purchase.
