Snoop Dogg has officially put Bill Gates in the doghouse after Xbox Live experienced a temporary outage on Wednesday.

The rapper was so upset he couldn't connect his Xbox One console to the Internet that he recorded his reaction. The video rant, which he posted on his personal Instagram account, featured the ultimate threat. He said he'd switch to the PlayStation 4 unless the servers are fixed (even though the PlayStation Network had its own server outage last week).

Snoop directly called out Gates, founder, adviser and board member at Microsoft, saying, “What the fuck is you doing, Bill Gates?”

His plea to Gates didn't speed up the process and service remained out for hours. Snoop was so annoyed that he took to Instagram again, eight hours later, to post the same video.

According to CNBC, Microsoft’s support team acknowledged the outage on Wednesday afternoon via Twitter, and announced that the issues had been resolved.

Despite the repaired server, it seems as though Snoop might drop his love for Xbox -- like it’s hot.
