Celina Powell has lawyered up and is going on the offensive against Deshae Frost ... firing off a cease and desist letter after he accused her of sexual assault and giving him herpes during a livestream.

TMZ has obtained the cease and desist, sent Thursday by the model and internet personality's attorney Rebecca R. Bordoli, demanding Frost to immediately stop making what they call "defamatory, defamatory per se, harmful, and false statements" about her.

Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube are going after a former business partner for alleged fraud ... TMZ has learned.

They entered into a licensing deal with a company called Westside Merchandising ... which they claim made false promises about their business in order to have them sign with them over a bigger merch company. 

The suit claims Westside Merchandise said it could make the rappers a ton of money through retail stores it had partnerships with, and they would not focus on strictly sales at concerts. 

Snoop and Ice Cube said Westside failed to provide accounting. The reports they did read said the merch sold $808K in sales from concert dates, more than $90K from stores, and $13K in e-commerce sales.
