Broadus' debut solo album, Doggystyle, produced by Dr. Dre, was released by Death Row Records in November 1993, and debuted at number one on the popular albums chart, the Billboard 200, and on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Selling 800,000 copies in its first week, Doggystyle was certified quadruple-platinum in 1994 and featured the singles "What's My Name?" and "Gin and Juice". In 1994, Death Row Records released a soundtrack, by Broadus, for the short film Murder Was the Case, starring Snoop. In 1996, his second album, Tha Doggfather, also debuted at number one on both charts, with "Snoop's Upside Ya Head" as the lead single. The next year, the album was certified double-platinum.

After leaving Death Row Records in January 1998, Broadus signed with No Limit Records, releasing three Snoop albums: Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told (1998), No Limit Top Dogg (1999), and Tha Last Meal (2000). In 2002, he signed with Priority/Capitol/EMI Records, releasing Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss. In 2004, he signed to Geffen Records, releasing his next three albums: R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece, then Tha Blue Carpet Treatment, and Ego Trippin'. Priority Records released his album Malice 'n Wonderland during 2009, followed by Doggumentary during 2011. Snoop Dogg has starred in motion pictures and hosted several television shows, including Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, Snoop Dogg's Father Hood, and Dogg After Dark. He also coaches a youth football league and high-school football team. In September 2009, EMI hired him as the chairman of a reactivated Priority Records.[4]

In 2012, after a trip to Jamaica, Broadus announced a conversion to Rastafari and a new alias, Snoop Lion. As Snoop Lion he released a reggae album, Reincarnated, and a documentary film of the same name, about his Jamaican experience, in early 2013. His 13th studio album, Bush, was released in May 2015 and marked a return of the Snoop Dogg name. His 14th solo studio album, Coolaid, was released in July 2016. In March 2016, the night before WrestleMania 32 in Arlington, Texas, he was inducted into the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame, having made several appearances for the company, including as master of ceremonies during a match at WrestleMania XXIV.[5] In 2018, Snoop announced that he was "a born-again Christian" and released his first gospel album Bible of Love.[6] On November 19, 2018, Snoop Dogg was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.[7] He released his seventeenth solo album, I Wanna Thank Me, in 2019.[8] In 2022, Snoop Dogg acquired Death Row Records from MNRK Music Group (formerly known as eOne Music), and released his 19th studio album, BODR.[9]

Early life

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. was born on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California, to Vernell Varnado and Beverly Tate.[10][11] Vernell, who was a Vietnam War veteran, singer, and mail carrier, left the family only three months after his birth, and thus he was named after his stepfather, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Sr. (1948–1984).[12] His father remained largely absent from his life. As a boy, his parents nicknamed him "Snoopy" due to his love and likeness of the cartoon character from Peanuts.[13] He was the second of his mother's three sons. His mother and stepfather divorced in 1975.[10] When Broadus was very young, he began singing and playing piano at the Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church. In sixth grade, he began rapping.[14][15] As a child, Broadus sold candy, delivered newspapers, and bagged groceries to help his family make ends meet. He was described as having been a dedicated student and enthusiastic churchgoer, active in choir and football. Broadus said in 1993 that he began engaging in unlawful activities and joining gangs in his teenage years, despite his mother's preventative efforts.[16]

Broadus would frequently rap in school. As he recalled: "When I rapped in the hallways at school I would draw such a big crowd that the principal would think there was a fight going on. It made me begin to realize that I had a gift. I could tell that my raps interested people and that made me interested in myself."[16]

As a teenager, Broadus frequently ran into trouble with the law. He was a member of the Rollin' 20s Crips gang in the Eastside neighborhood of Long Beach;[17] although in 1993 he denied the frequent police and media reports by saying that he never joined a gang.[14] Shortly after graduating from high school at Long Beach Polytechnic High School in 1989, he was arrested for possession of cocaine, and for the next three years, was frequently incarcerated, including at Wayside Jail.[12] With his two cousins, Nate Dogg and Lil' ½ Dead, and friend Warren G, Snoop recorded homemade tapes; the four called their group 213 after the area code of their native Long Beach at that time. One of Snoop's early solo freestyles over "Hold On" by En Vogue was on a mixtape that fortuitously wound up with Dr. Dre; the influential producer was so impressed by the sample that he called Snoop to audition. Former N.W.A affiliate The D.O.C. taught him to structure his lyrics and separate the themes into verses, hooks, and choruses.[18]

Music career

1992–1998: Death Row, Doggystyle, and Tha Doggfather

When he began recording, Broadus took the stage name Snoop Doggy Dogg. Dr. Dre began working with him, first on the theme song of the 1992 film Deep Cover and then on Dr. Dre's debut solo album The Chronic along with the other members of his former starting group, Tha Dogg Pound. This intense exposure played a considerable part in making Snoop Dogg's debut album, Doggystyle, the critical and commercial success that it was.[12]

 
Snoop Dogg in 1998

Fueling the ascendance of West Coast G-funk hip hop, the singles "Who Am I (What's My Name)?" and "Gin and Juice" reached the top ten most-played songs in the United States, and the album stayed on the Billboard charts for several months.[12] Gangsta rap became the center of arguments about censorship and labeling, with Snoop Dogg often used as an example of violent and misogynistic musicians.[19] Unlike much of the harder-edged gangsta rap artists, Snoop Dogg seemed to show his softer side, according to music journalist Chuck Philips. Rolling Stone music critic Touré asserted that Snoop had a relatively soft vocal delivery compared to other rappers: "Snoop's vocal style is part of what distinguishes him: where many rappers scream, figuratively and literally, he speaks softly."[14] Doggystyle, much like The Chronic, featured a host of rappers signed to or affiliated with the Death Row label including Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, and others.

In 1993, Broadus was charged with first-degree murder for the shooting of Philip Woldermariam, a member of a rival gang who was actually killed by Snoop’s bodyguard, McKinley Lee, aka Malik.[20] Broadus was acquitted on February 20, 1996. According to Broadus, after he was acquitted he did not want to continue living the "gangsta" lifestyle, because he felt that continuing his behavior would result in his assassination or a prison term.[21] A short film about Snoop Dogg's murder trial, Murder Was the Case, was released in 1994, along with an accompanying soundtrack. On July 6, 1995, Doggy Style Records, Inc., a record label founded by Snoop Dogg, was registered with the California Secretary of State as business entity number C1923139.[22]

After his acquittal, he, the mother of his son, and their kennel of 20 pit bulls moved into a 5,000-square-foot (460 m2) home in the hills of Claremont, California and by August 1996 Doggy Style Records, a subsidiary of Death Row Records, signed the Gap Band Charlie Wilson as one of its first artists.[23] He collaborated with fellow rap artist Tupac Shakur on the 1996 single "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted". This was one of Shakur's last songs while alive; he was shot on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas, dying six days later.

By the time Snoop Dogg's second album, Tha Doggfather, was released in November 1996, the price of appearing to live the gangsta life had become very evident. Among the many notable hip hop industry deaths and convictions were the death of Snoop Dogg's friend and labelmate Tupac Shakur and the racketeering indictment of Death Row co-founder Suge Knight.[12] Dr. Dre had left Death Row earlier in 1996 because of a contract dispute, so Snoop Dogg co-produced Tha Doggfather with Daz Dillinger and DJ Pooh.

This album featured a distinct change of style from Doggystyle, and the leadoff single, "Snoop's Upside Ya Head", featured a collaboration with Charlie Wilson The album sold reasonably well but was not as successful as its predecessor. Tha Doggfather had a somewhat softer approach to the G-funk style. After Dr. Dre withdrew from Death Row Records, Snoop realized that he was subject to an ironclad time-based contract (i.e., that Death Row practically owned anything he produced for a number of years), and refused to produce anymore tracks for Suge Knight other than the insulting "Fuck Death Row" until his contract expired.[17] In an interview with Neil Strauss in 1998, Snoop Dogg said that though he had been given lavish gifts by his former label, they had withheld his royalty payments.[24]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic said that after Tha Doggfather, Snoop Dogg began "moving away from his gangsta roots toward a calmer lyrical aesthetic":[12] for instance, Snoop participated in the 1997 Lollapalooza concert tour, which featured mainly alternative rock music. Troy J. Augusto of Variety noticed that Snoop's set at Lollapalooza attracted "much dancing, and, strangely, even a small mosh pit" in the audience.[25]

1998–2006: Signing with No Limit and continued success

Snoop signed with Master P's No Limit Records (distributed by Priority/EMI Records) in March 1998 and debuted on the label with Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told later that year. He said at the time that "Snoop Dogg is universal so he can fit into any camp-especially a camp that knows how to handmake shit[;] [a]nd, No Limit hand makes material. They make material fittin' to the artist and they know what type of shit Snoop Dogg is supposed to be on. That's why it's so tight." [sic][26] His other albums on No Limit were No Limit Top Dogg in 1999 (selling over 1,510,000 copies) and Tha Last Meal in 2000 (selling over 2,100,000).[12] In 1999, his autobiography, Tha Doggfather, was published.

In 2002, he released the album Paid tha Cost to Be da Bo$$, on Priority/Capitol/EMI, selling over 1,310,000 copies. The album featured the hit singles "From tha Chuuuch to da Palace" and "Beautiful", featuring guest vocals by Pharrell. In the same year, he featured in the remix of Welcome to Atlanta by Jermaine Dupri. By this stage in his career, Snoop Dogg had left behind his "gangster" image and embraced a "pimp" image.

In June 2004, Snoop signed to Geffen Records/Star Trak Entertainment, both distributed by Interscope Records; Star Trak is headed by producer duo the Neptunes,[27] which produced several tracks for Snoop's 2004 release R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece. "Drop It Like It's Hot" (featuring Pharrell), the first single released from the album, was a hit and became Snoop Dogg's first single to reach number one. His third release was "Signs", featuring Justin Timberlake and Charlie Wilson, which entered the UK chart at No. 2. This was his highest entry ever in the UK chart. The album sold 1,730,000 copies in the U.S. alone, and most of its singles were heavily played on radio and television. Snoop Dogg joined Warren G and Nate Dogg to form the group 213 and released The Hard Way in 2004. Debuting at No.4 on the Billboard 200 and No.1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, it included the single "Groupie Luv". Snoop Dogg appeared in the music video for Korn's "Twisted Transistor" along with fellow rappers Lil Jon, Xzibit, and David Banner.

Snoop Dogg appeared on two tracks from Ice Cube's 2006 album Laugh Now, Cry Later, including "Go to Church", and on several tracks on Tha Dogg Pound's Cali Iz Active the same year. His song "Real Talk" was leaked on the Internet in the summer of 2006 and a video was later released on the Internet. "Real Talk" was dedicated to former Crips leader Stanley "Tookie" Williams and a diss to Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California. Two other singles on which Snoop made a guest performance were "Keep Bouncing" by Too $hort (also with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas) and "Gangsta Walk" by Coolio.

Snoop's 2006 album Tha Blue Carpet Treatment debuted on the Billboard 200 at No.5 and sold over 850,000 copies. The album and the second single "That's That Shit" featuring R. Kelly were well received by critics. In the album, he collaborated in a video with E-40 and other West Coast rappers on the single "Candy (Drippin' Like Water)".

Peter Shapiro describes Broadus's delivery as a "molasses drawl"[114] and AllMusic notes his "drawled, laconic rhyming" style.[12] Kool Moe Dee refers to Snoop's use of vocabulary, saying he "keeps it real simple...he simplifies it and he's effective in his simplicity".[115]

Broadus is known to freestyle some of his lyrics on the spot – in the book How to Rap, Lady of Rage says, "When I worked with him earlier in his career, that's how created his stuff... he would freestyle, he wasn't a writer then, he was a freestyler",[116] and The D.O.C. states, "Snoop's [rap] was a one take willy, but his shit was all freestyle. He hadn't written nothing down. He just came in and started busting. The song was "Tha Shiznit"—that was all freestyle. He started busting and when we got to the break, Dre cut the machine off, did the chorus and told Snoop to come back in. He did that throughout the record. That's when Snoop was in the zone then."[117]

Peter Shapiro says that Broadus debuted on "Deep Cover" with a "shockingly original flow – which sounded like a Slick Rick born in South Carolina instead of South London"[118] and adds that he "showed where his style came from by covering Slick Rick's 'La Di Da Di'".[114] Referring to Snoop's flow, Kool Moe Dee calls him "one of the smoothest, funkiest flow-ers in the game".[113] How to Rap also notes that Snoop is known to use syncopation in his flow to give it a laidback quality,[119] as well as 'linking with rhythm' in his compound rhymes,[120] using alliteration,[121] and employing a "sparse" flow with good use of pauses.[122]

Legacy

Broadus popularized the use of -izzle speak particularly in the pop and hip-hop music industry.[123] A type of infix, it first found popularity when used by Frankie Smith in his 1981 hit song "Double Dutch Bus". [124]

Broadus listed his favorite rap albums for Hip Hop Connection: 10. Mixmaster Spade, The Genius Is Back 9. Lauryn Hill, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 8. Ice Cube, Death Certificate 7. 2Pac, Me Against the World 6. The Notorious B.I.G., Ready to Die 5. N.W.A, Straight Outta Compton 4. Eric B. & Rakim, Paid in Full 3. Slick Rick, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick 2. Snoop Doggy Dogg, Doggystyle 1. Dr. Dre, The Chronic ("It's da illest shit")[125]

Personal life

 
Snoop Dogg in August 2009

Snoop married his high school girlfriend, Shante Taylor, on June 14, 1997.[126] On May 21, 2004, he filed for divorce from Taylor, citing irreconcilable differences.[127] The couple however renewed vows on January 12, 2008.[128] They have three children together: sons Cordé (born August 21, 1994) and Cordell (born February 21, 1997), who quit football to pursue a career as a film maker, and daughter Cori (born June 22, 1999).[129] Snoop also has a son from a relationship with Laurie Holmond, Julian Corrie Broadus (born 1998). He is a first cousin of R&B singers Brandy and Ray J,[130] and WWE professional wrestler Sasha Banks.[131] In 2015, Snoop became a grandfather, as his eldest son, Cordé Broadus, had a son with his girlfriend, Jessica Kyzer.[132] Cordé had another son, who died on September 25, 2019, ten days after birth.[133]

Since the start of his career, Snoop has been an avowed cannabis smoker, making it one of the trademarks of his image. In 2002, he announced he was giving up cannabis for good;[134] that did not last long (a situation famously referenced in the 2004 Adam Sandler film 50 First Dates) and in 2013, he claimed to be smoking approximately 80 cannabis blunts a day.[135] He has been certified for medical cannabis in California to treat migraines since at least 2007.[136][137][138]

Snoop claimed in a 2006 interview with Rolling Stone magazine that unlike other hip hop artists who had superficially adopted the pimp persona, he was an actual professional pimp in 2003 and 2004, saying, "That shit was my natural calling and once I got involved with it, it became fun. It was like shootin' layups for me. I was makin' 'em every time."

On October 24, 2021, Snoop's mother, Beverly Tate, died.[139]

Sports

Snoop is an avid sports fan, including hometown teams Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Lakers, and USC Trojans, as well as the Pittsburgh Steelers.[140] He has stated that he began following the Steelers in the 1970s while watching the team with his grandfather.[141] He is also a fan of the Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams, and Dallas Cowboys, often wearing a No. 5 jersey, and has been seen at Raiders training camps.[142] He has shown affection for the New England Patriots, having been seen performing at Gillette Stadium.[143][144] He is an avid ice hockey fan,[145] sporting jerseys from the NHL's Los Angeles Kings, Pittsburgh Penguins, Toronto Maple Leafs, and the Boston Bruins as well at the AHL's Springfield Indians in his 1994 music video "Gin and Juice". Snoop has been seen attending Los Angeles Kings games. On his reality show Snoop Dogg's Father Hood, Snoop and his family received hockey lessons from the Anaheim Ducks, then returned to the Honda Center to cheer on the Ducks against the Vancouver Canucks in the episode "Snow in da Hood".[146] Snoop appeared in the video game NHL 20 as both a guest commentator and a playable character in the "World of Chel" game mode.[147]

Snoop is a certified football coach and has been head coach of his son Cordell's youth football teams.[148][149] Cordell played wide receiver and defensive back at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, Cordell played on the 2014 state championship team, and received football scholarship offers from Southern California, UCLA, Washington, Cal, Oregon State, Duke, and Notre Dame.[150][151][152][153][154] Cordell committed and signed a letter of intent to play for UCLA on February 4, 2015.[155] On August 14, 2015, UCLA announced that Cordell had left the UCLA football team "to pursue other passions in his life".[156]

In 2022, Snoop signed with esports organization FaZe Clan as board of directors and content creator.[157]

Since 2005, Snoop Dogg has been operating a youth football league in the Los Angeles area. He is a coach in the league, and one of the seasons he coached was documented in the Netflix documentary Coach Snoop.

Snoop is a fan of Celtic F.C., a football club based in Glasgow, Scotland. [158]

Religion

In 2009, it was reported that Snoop was a member of the Nation of Islam. On March 1, he made an appearance at the Nation of Islam's annual Saviours' Day holiday, where he praised minister Louis Farrakhan. Snoop said he was a member of the Nation, but declined to give the date on which he joined. He also donated $1,000 to the organization.[159][160][161]

Claiming to be "born again" in 2012, Snoop converted to the Rastafari movement,[162][163][164][165] switched the focus of his music to reggae[166] and changed his name to Snoop Lion after a trip to Jamaica. He released a reggae album, Reincarnated, saying, "I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated".[167]

In January 2013, he was criticized by members of the Rastafari community in Jamaica, including reggae artist Bunny Wailer, for alleged failure to meet his commitments to the culture.[168] Snoop later dismissed the claims, stating his beliefs were personal and not up for outside judgment.[169]

After releasing Bible of Love in early 2018 and performing in the 33rd Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards, Snoop Dogg told a TV One interviewer while speaking of his Gospel influences that he "always referred to [his] savior Jesus Christ" on most of his records, and that he had become "a born-again Christian".[170]

Charity

In 2005, Snoop Dogg founded the Snoop Youth Football League for at-risk youth in Southern California. In 2018, it was claimed to be the largest youth football organization in Southern California, with 50 teams and more than 1,500 players.[171][172] He has since claimed that at least 20 of his former pupils have gone on to play with the NFL.[173] Since 2017, he has also run a special-needs division called Snoop Special Stars for anyone 5 years or older with a physical, mental, or developmental disability.[174][173]

Snoop Dogg partners with city officials and annually gives away turkeys to the less fortunate in Inglewood, California, at Thanksgiving. He gave away 3000 turkeys in 2016.[175]

Although Snoop has donated and raised millions of dollars for charitable causes over the years, it is difficult to ascertain the full extent of Snoop's charitable giving, as he is wary that his donations and charitable causes might be seen as publicity stunts for his own image. For example, regarding Snoop Special Stars, he said on LL Cool J's Rock the Bells Radio that he avoided being in videos and photos at first—due to this apprehension—but he acquiesced once he saw the joy the kids and parents were getting by taking photos together.[176] Some other known causes that he supports include Children's Hospital Los Angeles, Mothers Against Police Brutality, Habitat for Humanity, Orca Network, Save a Life Foundation, Shriners Hospitals for Children, and The Healing Circle.[177][178]

Politics

 
Snoop Dogg and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti speaking at a press conference following the 2016 shooting of Dallas police officers

In 2012, Snoop Dogg endorsed Representative Ron Paul in the Republican presidential primary,[179] but later said he would vote for Barack Obama in the general election, and on Instagram gave ten reasons to vote for Obama (including "He a black nigga", "He's BFFs with Jay-Z", and "Michelle got a fat ass"), and ten reasons not to vote for Mitt Romney (including "He a white nigga", "That muthafucka's name is Mitt", and "He a ho").[180]

In a 2013 interview with The Huffington Post, Snoop Dogg advocated for same-sex marriage, saying: "People can do what they want and as they please."[181]

In his keynote address at the 2015 South by Southwest music festival, he blamed Los Angeles's explosion of gang violence in the 1980s on the economic policies of Ronald Reagan, and insinuated that his administration shipped guns and drugs into the area.[182]

He endorsed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live in May 2015, saying: "I would love to see a woman in office because I feel like we're at that stage in life to where we need a perspective other than the male's train of thought"[183] and "[...] just to have a woman speaking from a global perspective as far as representing America, I'd love to see that. So I'll be voting for Mrs. Clinton."[184]

Following the deadly shooting of five police officers in Dallas on July 7, 2016, Snoop Dogg and The Game organized and led a peaceful march to the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters.[185][186] The subsequent private meeting with the mayor Eric Garcetti and police chief Charlie Beck, and news conference was, according to Broadus, "[...] to get some dialogue and the communication going [...]".[187] The march and conference were part of an initiative called "Operation H.U.N.T.", serving as a police brutality protest in response to the police shooting and killing of two black men, Philando Castile and Alton Sterling,[188] whose killing prompted nationwide protests including those that led to the Dallas killing of police officers. Broadus stated that "We are tired of what is going on and it's communication that is lacking".[187] Reports of attendance range between 50–100 people.[185][187][186][189]

Snoop Dogg advocates for the defunding of police departments, saying: "We need to start taking that money out of their pocket and put it back into our communities where we can police ourselves."[190]

Snoop has consistently expressed his support for tighter gun control. In 2013, then known as Snoop Lion, he told HuffPost Live: "Politicians, you all got to pay attention, man. This world that we live in, it’s so easy to get your hands on a gun. You’ve got to put some restrictions or ramifications on it. I can go outside right now and buy a gun. Easy. Just like that."[191] Additionally, he released a song called "No Guns Allowed" feat. Drake and Cori B in 2013.[192]

In 2020, Snoop endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden for President of the United States.[193]

Animal rights

Snoop Dogg regularly appears in real fur garments, especially large coats, for which he attracts criticism from animal welfare charities and younger audiences. In a video podcast in 2012, the rapper asked, "Why doesn't PETA throw paint on a pimp's fur coat".[194] In 2014, Snoop Dogg claimed to have become a vegan; however, he has since opted against a complete vegan diet.[195] In June 2018, he performed at the Environmental Media Association (EMA) Honors Gala. While he was performing, the logo for vegan brand Beyond Meat was displayed on the screens behind him.[196] In 2020, Snoop Dogg invested in vegan food company Original Foods, which makes Pigless Pork Rinds, which he has said are a favorite.[197] He is an ambassador for Beyond Meat and lent his name and image as well as financial support for Beyond Meat’s Feed a Million+ campaign to provide a million frontline workers with Beyond Meat burgers.[198][199]

Business ventures and investments

Broadus has been an active entrepreneur and investor. In 2009, he was appointed creative chairman of Priority Records.[200]

In May 2013, Broadus and his brand manager Nick Adler released an app, Snoopify, that lets users plaster stickers of Snoop's face, joints or a walrus hat on photos. Adler built the app in May after discovering stickers in Japan. As of 2015, the app was generating $30,000 in weekly sales.[201]

In October 2014, Reddit raised $50 million in a funding round led by Sam Altman and including investors Marc Andreessen, Peter Thiel, Ron Conway, Snoop Dogg, and Jared Leto.[202][203]

In April 2015, Broadus became a minority investor in his first investment venture Eaze, a California-based weed delivery startup that promises to deliver medical marijuana to persons' doorsteps in less than 10 minutes.[204][205][206]

In October 2015, Broadus launched his new digital media business, Merry Jane, that focuses on news about marijuana. "Merry Jane is cannabis 2.0", he said in a promotional video for the media source. "A crossroads of pot culture, business, politics, health."[207]

In November 2015, Broadus announced his new brand of cannabis products, Leafs By Snoop. The line of branded products includes marijuana flowers, concentrates and edibles. "Leafs By Snoop is truly the first mainstream cannabis brand in the world and proud to be a pioneer", he said. In such a way, Broadus became the first major celebrity to brand and market a line of legal marijuana products.[208]

On March 30, 2016, Broadus was reported to be considering purchasing the famed soul food restaurant chain Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles out of bankruptcy.[209]

In 2019, Broadus ventured into the video game business, creating his own esports league known as the "Gangsta Gaming League".[210][211]

On March 7, 2022, it was announced that Broadus had joined FaZe Clan and would be a member of their Board of Directors.[212]

On December 19, 2022, Snoop Dogg ran a poll asking if he should "run twitter". Out of 2.3 million users, 81% said yes.[213][214][215]

World records

Largest paradise cocktail

At the BottleRock Napa Valley music festival on May 26, 2018, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, Kendall Coleman, Kim Kaechele, and Michael Voltaggio set the Guinness World Record for the largest paradise cocktail. Measuring 550 liters (150 U.S. gal), the "Gin and Juice" drink was mixed from 180 1.75-liter (0.46 U.S. gal) bottles of gin, 156 1-liter (0.26 U.S. gal) bottles of apricot brandy and 28 1-U.S.-gallon (3.8 L) jugs of orange juice.[218][219]

Reported volume and content

Time reported its total volume as "...more than 132 gallons [500 L], according to Guinness...", following with an embedded tweet by Liam Mayclem via GWR (the Guinness World Records' official Twitter account), showing a reply from GWR to its own tweet stating "[t]he cocktail contained 180 bottles of Hendricks gin, 154 bottles of apricot brandy and 38 3.78 litre jugs of orange juice..."[220]

Mixmag, NME, and USA Today published the same content quantities as GWR's tweet.[221][222][223] with Mixmag reporting that "[a]ccording to Guinness the cocktail measured at 132 gallons."[221] NME states that the total volume was "...more than 132 gallons"[222] and USA Today's European website states that "[a] Guinness World Records official was on hand to certify the record of the 550 liter cocktail."[223]

Billboard published that "...the concoction required 180 handles of Hendricks gin, resulting in a gigantic beverage...".[224]

Legal incidents

 
Mug shot (1993)

Shortly after graduating from high school in 1989, Broadus was arrested for possession of cocaine and for the following three years was frequently in and out of prison.[12] In 1990 he was convicted of felony possession of drugs and possession for sale.[225]

While recording Doggystyle in August 1993, Broadus was arrested in connection with the death of a member of a rival gang who was allegedly shot and killed by Broadus's bodyguard; Broadus had been temporarily living in an apartment complex in the Palms neighborhood in the West Los Angeles region, in the intersection of Vinton Avenue and Woodbine Street - the location of the shooting. Both men were charged with murder, as Broadus was purportedly driving the vehicle from which the gun was fired. Johnnie Cochran defended them.[226] Both Broadus and his bodyguard were acquitted on February 20, 1996.[227]

In July 1993 Broadus was stopped for a traffic violation and a firearm was found by police during a search of his car. In February 1997, he pled guilty to possession of a handgun and was ordered to record three public service announcements, perform 800 hours of community service, pay a $1,000 fine and serve three years' probation.[228][229][230]

In September 2006, Broadus was detained at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California by airport security after airport screeners found a collapsible police baton in his carry-on bag. Donald Etra, Broadus's lawyer, told deputies the baton was a prop for a musical sketch. Broadus was sentenced to three years' probation and 160 hours of community service for the incident, starting in September 2007.[231] He was arrested again in October 2006 at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank after being stopped for a traffic infraction; he was arrested for possession of a firearm and for suspicion of transporting an unspecified amount of marijuana, according to a police statement.[232] The following month, after taping an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he was arrested again for possession of marijuana, cocaine and a firearm. Two members of his entourage, according to the Burbank police statement, were admitted members of the Rollin 20's Crips gang and were arrested on separate charges.[233] In April 2007 he was given a three-year suspended sentence, five years' probation and 800 hours of community service after pleading no contest to two felony charges of drug and gun possession by a convicted felon. He was also prohibited from hiring anyone with a criminal record or gang affiliation as a security guard or driver.[225]

On April 26, 2006, Broadus and members of his entourage were arrested after being turned away from British Airways' first class lounge at Heathrow Airport in London. Broadus and his party were denied entry to the lounge due to some members flying in economy class. After being escorted outside, the group got in a fight with the police and vandalized a duty-free shop.[234] Seven police officers were injured during the incident. After a night in jail, Broadus and the other men were released on bail the next day but he was unable to perform a scheduled concert in Johannesburg.[235] On May 15 the Home Office decided that he would be denied entry to the United Kingdom for the foreseeable future and his British visa was denied the following year.[236][237][238] As of March 2010 however, Broadus was allowed back into the UK.[239] The entire group was banned from British Airways "for the foreseeable future".[240]

In April 2007, the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship banned him from entering the country on character grounds, citing his prior criminal convictions.[241] He had been scheduled to appear at the MTV Australia Video Music Awards on April 29, 2007.[242] The Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship lifted the ban in September 2008 and had granted him a visa to tour Australia. The DIAC said: "In making this decision, the department weighed his criminal convictions against his previous behaviour while in Australia, recent conduct – including charity work – and any likely risk to the Australian community ... We took into account all relevant factors and, on balance, the department decided to grant the visa."[243]

Broadus was banned from entering Norway for two years in July, 2012 after entering the country the month before in possession of 8 grams (0.3 oz) of marijuana and an undeclared 227,000 kr in cash, or about US$29,400 as of 2022.[244][245][246]

Snoop Dogg, after performing for a concert in Uppsala, Sweden, on July 25, 2015, was pulled over and detained by Swedish police for allegedly using illegal drugs, violating a Swedish law enacted in 1988 which criminalized the recreational use of such substances – therefore making even being under the influence of any illegal/controlled substance a crime itself without possession. During the detention he was taken to the police station to perform a drug test and was released shortly afterwards. The rapid test was positive for traces of narcotics and he was potentially subject to fines depending on the results of more detailed analysis.[247][248] Although final results "strongly" indicated drug use the charges were ultimately dropped because it could not be proven that he was in Sweden when he consumed the substances.[249] The rapper uploaded several videos on the social networking site Instagram criticizing the police for alleged racial profiling; police spokesman Daniel Nilsson responded to the accusations, saying "we don't work like that in Sweden." He declared in the videos, "Niggas got me in the back of police car right now in Sweden, cuz," and "Pulled a nigga over for nothing, taking us to the station where I've got to go pee in a cup for nothin'. I ain't done nothin'. All I did was came to the country and did a concert and now I've got to go to the police station. For nothin'!" He announced to his Swedish fanbase that he would no longer go on tour in the country due to the incident.[250][251][252]

Snoop Dogg has also been arrested and fined three times for misdemeanor possession of marijuana: in Los Angeles in 1998;[253] Cleveland, Ohio in 2001;[254] and Sierra Blanca, Texas in 2010.[255]

In the Death Row Records bankruptcy case, Snoop Dogg lost $2 million.[256]

In February 2022 a woman sued Snoop Dogg for $10 million, alleging that he sexually assaulted her in May 2013 following a concert in Anaheim, California.[257] A source representing Snoop Dogg has denied the accusation.[258] Snoop Dogg was also sued for sexual assault in 2005.[259]

born on October 20 1971 in Long Beach California to Vernell Varnado and Beverly Tate 10 11 Vernell who was a Vietnam War veteran singer and mail carrier left the family only three months after his birth and thus he was named after his stepfather Calvin Cordozar Broadus Sr 1948 1984 12 His father remained largely absent from his life As a boy his parents nicknamed him Snoopy due to his love and likeness of the cartoon character from Peanuts 13 He was the second of his mother s three sons His mother and stepfather divorced in 1975 10 When Broadus was very young he began singing and playing piano at the Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church In sixth grade he began rapping 14 15 As a child Broadus sold candy delivered newspapers and bagged groceries to help his family make ends meet He was described as having been a dedicated student and enthusiastic churchgoer active in choir and football Broadus said in 1993 that he began engaging in unlawful activities and joining gangs in his teenage years despite his mother s preventative efforts 16 Broadus would frequently rap in school As he recalled When I rapped in the hallways at school I would draw such a big crowd that the principal would think there was a fight going on It made me begin to realize that I had a gift I could tell that my raps interested people and that made me interested in myself 16 As a teenager Broadus frequently ran into trouble with the law He was a member of the Rollin 20s Crips gang in the Eastside neighborhood of Long Beach 17 although in 1993 he denied the frequent police and media reports by saying that he never joined a gang 14 Shortly after graduating from high school at Long Beach Polytechnic High School in 1989 he was arrested for possession of cocaine and for the next three years was frequently incarcerated including at Wayside Jail 12 With his two cousins Nate Dogg and Lil Dead and friend Warren G Snoop recorded homemade tapes the four called their group 213 after the area code of their native Long Beach at that time One of Snoop s early solo freestyles over Hold On by En Vogue was on a mixtape that fortuitously wound up with Dr Dre the influential producer was so impressed by the sample that he called Snoop to audition Former N W A affiliate The D O C taught him to structure his lyrics and separate the themes into verses hooks and choruses 18 Music career1992 1998 Death Row Doggystyle and Tha Doggfather When he began recording Broadus took the stage name Snoop Doggy Dogg Dr Dre began working with him first on the theme song of the 1992 film Deep Cover and then on Dr Dre s debut solo album The Chronic along with the other members of his former starting group Tha Dogg Pound This intense exposure played a considerable part in making Snoop Dogg s debut album Doggystyle the critical and commercial success that it was 12 Snoop Dogg in 1998 Fueling the ascendance of West Coast G funk hip hop the singles Who Am I What s My Name and Gin and Juice reached the top ten most played songs in the United States and the album stayed on the Billboard charts for several months 12 Gangsta rap became the center of arguments about censorship and labeling with Snoop Dogg often used as an example of violent and misogynistic musicians 19 Unlike much of the harder edged gangsta rap artists Snoop Dogg seemed to show his softer side according to music journalist Chuck Philips Rolling Stone music critic Toure asserted that Snoop had a relatively soft vocal delivery compared to other rappers Snoop s vocal style is part of what distinguishes him where many rappers scream figuratively and literally he speaks softly 14 Doggystyle much like The Chronic featured a host of rappers signed to or affiliated with the Death Row label including Daz Dillinger Kurupt Nate Dogg and others In 1993 Broadus was charged with first degree murder for the shooting of Philip Woldermariam a member of a rival gang who was actually killed by Snoop s bodyguard McKinley Lee aka Malik 20 Broadus was acquitted on February 20 1996 According to Broadus after he was acquitted he did not want to continue living the gangsta lifestyle because he felt that continuing his behavior would result in his assassination or a prison term 21 A short film about Snoop Dogg s murder trial Murder Was the Case was released in 1994 along with an accompanying soundtrack On July 6 1995 Doggy Style Records Inc a record label founded by Snoop Dogg was registered with the California Secretary of State as business entity number C1923139 22 After his acquittal he the mother of his

he was shot on September 7 1996 in Las Vegas dying six days later Snoop Dogg left with Maynard James Keenan in 2001 By the time Snoop Dogg s second album Tha Doggfather was released in November 1996 the price of appearing to live the gangsta life had become very evident Among the many notable hip hop industry deaths and convictions were the death of Snoop Dogg s friend and labelmate Tupac Shakur and the racketeering indictment of Death Row co founder Suge Knight 12 Dr Dre had left Death Row earlier in 1996 because of a contract dispute so Snoop Dogg co produced Tha Doggfather with Daz Dillinger and DJ Pooh This album featured a distinct change of style from Doggystyle and the leadoff single Snoop s Upside Ya Head featured a collaboration with Charlie Wilson The album sold reasonably well but was not as successful as its predecessor Tha Doggfather had a somewhat softer approach to the G funk style After Dr Dre withdrew from Death Row Records Snoop realized that he was subject to an ironclad time based contract i e that Death Row practically owned anything he produced for a number of years and refused to produce anymore tracks for Suge Knight other than the insulting Fuck Death Row until his contract expired 17 In an interview with Neil Strauss in 1998 Snoop Dogg said that though he had been given lavish gifts by his former label they had withheld his royalty payments 24 Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic said that after Tha Doggfather Snoop Dogg began moving away from his gangsta roots toward a calmer lyrical aesthetic 12 for instance Snoop
