Beloved News Anchor Fired Over Snoop Dogg Slang: Fo Shizzle My Nizzle Mississippi NBC affiliate WLBT's news anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett made comment during a discussion on March 8 broadcast, about rapper and entrepreneur Snoop Dogg’s latest addition to his Cali wine line. In a video clip of the exchange circulating online, WLBT anchor Wilson Stribling joked that a colleague may follow TV personality and businesswoman Martha Stewart’s lead by getting a tattoo inspired by the Snoop Dogg. Bassett quickly quipped, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.”[ A slang often said by the West Coast rap icon. 'Nizzle' his play on the word 'nigga]. Alongside Stribling and Bassett was meteorologist Patrick Ellis, who had a seemingly amused facial expression after the remark was made. Bassett has not returned to the anchor desk since the March 8 broadcast and is reportedly no longer listed as a member of the news team on the station’s website. Many on social media defended the popular anchor pointing out that she was trying to make a light-hearted joke. Even known race-baiter and far-left radio host Charlamagne tha God defended her on radio. “I don’t think she should have been fired for that,” The Breakfast Club host said. “She might not even know what ‘nizzle’ means, yo. Come on, like stop. That’s not a reason to fire that woman.” https://www.keneci.com/hotfeed-read-more#h.vbde6kyoz7uu
