News anchor fired for saying Fo Shizzle My Nizzle on air

The impact that Snoop Dogg has had on pop culture cannot be denied. This has been proven by all of the commercials he stars in. In addition, Snoop has had a very successful partnership with Martha Stewart for the better part of a decade. Also, he had a news anchor in Mississippi quoting his famous phrase, during the news broadcast. As a result, this woman has lost her job.

Barbie Basset has been an anchor for this local station for over twenty years. Since the news was speaking on Snoop Dogg, she made an attempt to be topical. Instead, Barbie Basset found herself on the wrong side of her employers. More than likely, she wasn’t aware of what Snoop Dogg’s slang really means. Had she known, she would’ve probably avoided the phrase, entirely.

When Barbie Basset was delivering the news, she was only speaking on Snoop Dogg. The iconic rapper recently launched a wine collection. Known for his enigmatic personality, Snoop has created his own language. “Fo Shizzle, My Nizzle” is his most popular phrase. During the broadcast, Barbie Basset uttered this phrase. After that, the Mississippi anchorwoman was fired from her job.
