Hasbro now owns Death Row Records, thanks to deal for maker of Peppa Pig

[Zorro]

My Little Pony, meet Tupac Shakur.

Toymaker Hasbro has acquired gangster rap label Death Row Records — which counts Shakur and Snoop Dogg among its artists — as part of a bid to grow its stable of family-friendly entertainment.

The worldwide toymaker announced the $4 billion deal Thursday to buy British company Entertainment One, which produces animated kids shows such as “Peppa Pig” and “PJ Masks” but also owns the rap label.

Hasbro, which owns the rights to My Little Pony, Monopoly and Mr. Potato Head, has said the company was looking to expand “family brands” and television production with the purchase.

3. I saw this, and I'd bet dollars to donuts they didn't even know they bought it till after the fact..

If they're willing to print a Chronic 2000 pot leaf on every box they sell, I support this lol!

Next up, the Slim Shady Lego Playset: will consist of slim shady and dr dre figures, with a ' burned down house...and a canful of gas and a handful of matches'....and a couple of really confused-looking policemen figures...
