"Snoop Dogg" Under Fire For Gay Bashing a Dude On Instagram? [Pics]

DETAILS INSIDE

Snoop Dogg has put a big fat target on a guy who's 

now being gay bashed, and the guy is now preparing 

a lawsuit against Mr. D. Cortez Booze tells TMZ ... 5 

days ago the rapper posted a pic of him on Instagram 

with the caption, “Whose auntcle is this?”

The pic triggered a torrent of hate ... people calling 

him f*****, shemale, confused, ugly, punk and a host of 

other slurs. Cortez went to the folks at Instagram and 

reported the pic as inappropriate, but it's still up.

So now he's pulling out the gunz ... the legal variety. 

Cortez has hired a lawyer and plans to duke it out with 

the Dogg in court. Snoop should definitely follow 

Shaquille O'Neal ... who was sued for something 

similar in July.

Shaq posted a pic of a guy who has a rare genetic 

disorder which unleashed the hounds on social media. 

That suit is pending. No word back from Snoop's 

people.
