Just two months after making headlines for questioning a same-sex kiss scene in the Disney film “Lightyear,” Snoop Dogg has fully caved to the progressive mob. The 53-year-old rapper just announced that he teamed up with the LGBT activist organization GLAAD and wrote a new song with gay pride themes for his children’s series.
The recording artist, whose legal name is Calvin Broadus Jr., worked with GLAAD to promote “Spirit Day” for LGBT teens on Thursday. He teamed up with The Voice contestant Jeremy Beloate on “Love Is Love,” a song highlighted in the latest episode of Snoop’s animated children’s series Doggyland on YouTube.

“Our parents are different/ No two are the same but the one thing that’s for certain is the love won’t change/ Families are special/ They are so unique/ Everybody’s got a purpose more than what you see/ We love you parents/ We love you so,” the dogs sing, including one voiced by Snoop and one new character voiced by Beloate.

“It’s teaching parenthood. It’s teaching situations that kids in the world is (sic) going through right now in a beautiful way through song, dance, melody, just trying to get more clarity on how we live and the way we live. And I felt like this music is a beautiful bridge to bringing understanding,” Snoop said during an interview with Beloate that was promoted on both GLAAD and Doggyland&#8217;s Instagram pages.

“This is a program we’ve been doing for years where we involve kids,” he added. “These are things that kids have questions about so now hopefully we can help answer these questions and help them to live a happy life and understand that love is love.”
The rapper went on, “It’s a beautiful thing that kids can have parents of all walks and be shown love, to be taught what love is … being able to have parents from all walks of life, whether it be two fathers, two mothers, whatever it is, love is the key.”
This is a drastic about-face for Snoop, who <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/snoop-dogg-calls-out-hollywood-for-lgbt-themes-in-childrens-films-theyre-putting-it-everywhere">criticized the inclusion</a> of same-sex couples in children’s programming in August after watching the movie “Lightyear” with his grandkids.
“What you see is what you see, and they’re putting it everywhere,” Snoop said before referencing the 2022 Disney film, which featured a same-sex couple. 
“They’re like, ‘She had a baby with another woman.’ Well, my grandson, in the middle of the movie is like, ‘Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She’s a woman!’” he went on.
The rapper said he thought, &#8220;&#8216;Oh sh**, I didn’t come in for this sh**. I just came to watch the g**damn movie.’” But his grandson wouldn’t let it go, and said, &#8220;They just said, she and she had a baby … they’re both women. How does she have a baby?” 
Snoop said the whole thing “f***ed me up. I’m like, scared to go to the movies. Y’all throwing me in the middle of sh** that I don’t have an answer for.”
“It threw me for a loop. I’m like, ‘What part of the movie was this? … These are kids,” he added. “We have to show that at this age? They’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.”
Many of Snoop’s followers were furious over the comments and accused him of defecting to the conservative side, especially considering that he had performed at a celebratory event before President Donald Trump’s inauguration.
An Instagram apology that appeared to be sent from the rapper’s official Instagram account went viral one week later, but Snoop’s rep <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/was-snoop-doggs-apology-for-criticizing-gay-kiss-in-disney-movie-a-fake?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Was+Snoop+Dogg%E2%80%99s+Apology+For+Criticizing+Gay+Kiss+In+Disney+Movie+A+Fake%3F">denied</a> that it was legitimate. Snoop never issued an official apology for the “Lightyear” comments.

Rapper Snoop Dogg did not apologize for criticizing a gay storyline in the Disney film “Lightyear,” his rep said.
Rumors swirled that the recording artist was walking back his previous statement after a posted reply appeared on Instagram, which came from Snoop’s verified Instagram account. A video clip shared to Hollywood Unlocked included actress TS Madison discussing the controversy. 
The posted comment on the video from Snoop’s verified account said, “I was just caught off guard and had no answer for my grandsons. All my gay friends [know] what’s up, they been calling me with love. My bad for not knowing the answers for a 6-yr-old. Teach me how to learn. I’m not perfect,” it said.

However, according to multiple <a href="https://deadline.com/2025/08/snoop-dogg-my-bad-lightyear-lgbtq-comments-1236502279/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlets</a>, Snoop’s representative denies that the rapper made the apology himself, and also stated that no one on his team has admitted to doing so either. It’s unclear how the comment was posted from his verified account.
The 53-year-old recording artist, whose legal name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., sparked backlash from LGBT activists due to his remarks during an appearance on a recent episode of the “It’s Giving” podcast, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/snoop-dogg-calls-out-hollywood-for-lgbt-themes-in-childrens-films-theyre-putting-it-everywhere">reported</a>.
“What you see is what you see, and they’re putting it everywhere,” Snoop said before referencing the 2022 Disney film “Lightyear,” which featured a same-sex couple. 
“They’re like, ‘She had a baby with another woman.’ Well, my grandson, in the middle of the movie is like, ‘Papa Snoop? How she have a baby with a woman? She’s a woman!’” he went on.
The rapper said he thought,” ‘Oh sh**, I didn’t come in for this sh**. I just came to watch the g**damn movie.’” But his grandson wouldn’t let it go, and said,”’ They just said, she and she had a baby … they’re both women. How does she have a baby?’” 
Snoop said the whole thing “f***ed me up. I’m like, scared to go to the movies. Y’all throwing me in the middle of sh** that I don’t have an answer for.”
“It threw me for a loop. I’m like, ‘What part of the movie was this? … These are kids,” he added. “We have to show that at this age? They’re going to ask questions. I don’t have the answer.”
“Lightyear” screenwriter Lauren Gunderson defended the storyline after Snoop’s criticisms started circulating on social media. “So. I created the LIGHTYEAR lesbians,” she <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DN21gOmUDwx/?img_index=1">wrote</a> in a statement on Instagram.
“As we wrote early versions of what became LIGHTYEAR, a key character needed a partner, and it was so natural to write ‘she’ instead of ‘he.’ As small as that detail is in the film, I knew the representational effect it could have. Small line, big deal. I was elated that they kept it,” Gunderson went on. 
“I’m proud of it. To infinity. Love is love… I was proud to see a happy queer couple (even for a few seconds) onscreen. I know they got a lot of sh** for this inclusion, but stuff like this matters because beautiful love like this exists,” she concluded.
“Lightyear” caused a controversy leading up to its release due to the inclusion of a same-sex kiss, which was initially edited out, then restored in response to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill, dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay Bill” by several legacy media outlets and leftists.
The film earned a paltry $226.4 million against a $200 million budget, meaning it likely lost money after factoring in marketing and other expenses.

Rapper Snoop Dogg has angered LGBT activists with recent statements he made about the pervasiveness of gay storylines in children’s programming.
The 53-year-old recording artist, whose legal name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., made the remarks during an appearance on a recent episode of the “It’s Giving” podcast.
“What you see is what you see, and they’re putting it everywhere,” Snoop said before referencing the 2022 Disney film “Lightyear,” which featured a same-sex couple.

“Lightyear” caused a controversy leading up to its release due to the inclusion of a same-sex kiss, which was initially edited out, then restored in response to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Bill, dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay Bill” by several legacy media outlets and leftists.
The film earned a paltry $226.4 million against a $200 million budget, meaning it likely lost money after factoring in marketing and other expenses. One Disney exec speculated in 2023 that the movie was a flop because they “asked too much of the audience” by doing a concept film based on the beloved “Toy Story” franchise. But critics say the boycotts and negative press surrounding the gay storyline were likely also a factor.
Many of Snoop’s left-wing followers are furious over his statements, evidenced by their insistence that he should be replaced as the headliner at the upcoming Australian Football League’s Grand Final, per <a href="https://ew.com/snoop-dogg-criticizes-lgbtq-representation-in-childrens-films-11796606">Entertainment Weekly</a>. 
This isn’t the first time critics have been angry. The rapper also caught heat for performing at a celebratory event before President Donald Trump’s January 2025 inauguration.

Rapper Snoop Dogg stole the show at the annual NFL Honors award show on Thursday, playfully poking fun at the 49-year age gap between former New England Patriots legendary head coach Bill Belichick, 72, and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.
Snoop performed a monologue at the pre-Super Bowl event in New Orleans, saying he&#8217;s been a “football fan for a long time” while reminiscing about how things used to be in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a>.
“I remember back when the Cowboys was [sic] good. I remember back when the Chiefs was [sic] bad,” Snoop said. “And I remember — what was it? Bill Belichick&#8217;s girlfriend wasn&#8217;t even born yet.&#8221;

The coverage cut to the couple, showing Hudson’s jaw drop wide open in apparent shock while Belichick chuckled next to her.
Belichick arrived at the event wearing a maroon jacket and all six of his Super Bowl rings. In December, he accepted a head coaching position at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
This isn&#8217;t the first time Hudson and Belichick have endured jokes about their sizable age gap. In May, during Netflix&#8217;s “The Roast of Tom Brady,” former Patriots players took some shots at their former coach.

Brady, who won six Super Bowls under Belichick, added, &#8220;Everybody asks me which [Super Bowl] ring is my favorite, I used to say &#8216;the next one,'&#8221; the former quarterback said. &#8220;But now that I am retired, my favorite Ring is the camera that caught Coach Belichick slinking out of that poor girl’s house a few months ago. Hey, you still got it. Respect baby.&#8221;
Hudson is a former cheerleader and the 2024 Miss Maine USA pageant&#8217;s first runner-up, per <a href="https://pagesix.com/entertainment/who-is-jordon-hudson-bill-belichick-girlfriend/">Page Six</a>. The couple reportedly met on a flight in 2021 and began dating in 2023. 
Belichick was previously married to Debby Clarke from 1977 until 2006 and has three children with her. Next, he was in a long-term relationship with Linda Holliday from 2007 until 2023.

Rap artist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/snoop-dogg">Snoop Dogg</a> clapped back at critics who took issue with him performing at one of the celebratory events ahead of the inauguration of President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> last week.
The 53-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/rap-music">entertainer</a>, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., addressed his haters via a video uploaded to Instagram on Sunday. Snoop had performed at an event called the Crypto Ball in Washington, D.C., on January 18, which is why so many followers were reacting badly. Soulja Boy and Rick Ross also performed at the event.
&#8220;For all the hate, I&#8217;m going to answer with love,&#8221; Snoop said in a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DFTK5UUy4y7/#">video</a> recorded in his car. &#8220;Y&#8217;all can&#8217;t hate enough; I love too much. Get your life right, stop worrying about mine. I&#8217;m cool, I&#8217;m together. Still a black man. Still 100% black. All out &#8217;til you ball out, or &#8217;til you fall out.&#8221;
While the rapper had been critical of Trump during his first term as president, Snoop seems to have changed his mind in recent years. Critics couldn’t help but point out that the artist once pretended to shoot a clown dressed as Trump in 2017 in a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/snoop-dogg-has-nothing-but-love-and-respect-for-trump-as-feud-goes-up-in-smoke">music video</a> for the song “Lavender.”
He also voiced his disdain in the song &#8220;M.A.C.A (Make America Crip Again),&#8221; saying, &#8220;The president say he wants to Make America Great Again, f***- that s***.&#8221;
Snoop <a href="https://x.com/XXL/status/1270826921455243268">called</a> Trump a &#8220;f***ing weirdo&#8221; on X in 2020, saying, &#8220;if you voted for him, I have no problem with that, but if you&#8217;re still with him, f*** you.&#8221;
But then in recent years, the rapper seems to have changed his mind. In 2021, Trump commuted the 25-to-life sentence of Michael Harris, co-founder of Death Row Records, for conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. &#8220;That’s great work for the president and his team on the way out. They did some great work while they was in there,&#8221; Snoop said at the time.
Then in 2024, Snoop showed his appreciation for Trump again. “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me,” Snoop Dogg said, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/snoop-dogg-has-nothing-but-love-and-respect-for-trump-as-feud-goes-up-in-smoke">reported</a>. “He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris. So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.”
Other mainstream artists have also come under fire for performing at Trump’s inauguration events, including “American Idol” winner Carrie Underwood, Jewel, and Nelly.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not political. I&#8217;m not out here trying to tell anybody who they should vote for,&#8221; Nelly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-isnt-politics-rapper-nelly-defends-decision-to-perform-at-trumps-inaugural-ball">said</a> after performing at the inaugural ball. &#8220;But what I will say is that, I respect the office. This isn&#8217;t politics. The politics, for me, is over. He won! He&#8217;s the president.&#8221;

&#8220;The View&#8221; host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ana-navarro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ana Navarro</a> referred to Snoop Dogg as a &#8220;trained seal&#8221; — after he opted to perform at one of President Donald Trump&#8217;s second inaugural events — during the talk show&#8217;s Tuesday broadcast.
Navarro, who self-identifies as a Republican despite showing unwavering support for former President Joe Biden and even hosting one night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, named rapper Snoop Dogg specifically and suggested that because he had said different things about Trump in 2017, he was a hypocrite for changing his position some time in the last eight years.

&#8220;The thing that really, I think, was spotlighting Snoop is because of the things that Snoop Dogg said ten days before the inaugural in 2017,&#8221; Navarro began. &#8220;And so look, if you opposed and stood up against Trump in 2017, but you were there now — if you spoke up against Trump January 7th, 2021, but you were there now, applauding him like a trained seal — Donald Trump has not changed, you&#8217;ve changed.&#8221;
Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out the fact that former President Barack Obama had attended the inauguration — although former First Lady Michelle Obama did not — along with former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and former First Ladies Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush. She argued that attacking the artists, who could simply want to be a part of such a celebrated American tradition regardless of their personal politics, was unfair — especially when politicians from both parties were in attendance.

As Navarro noted, Snoop Dogg has said critical things about Trump in the past — but after Trump commuted the sentence of Death Row Records founder Michael &#8220;Harry-O&#8221; Harris in January of 2021, the rapper appears to have changed his tune.
&#8220;He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris. So, I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,&#8221; he said in January of 2024.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/kid-rock">Kid Rock</a> commented on the increasing number of mainstream <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">celebrities</a>, including Carrie Underwood and Snoop Dogg, who are now willing to associate with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a>.
The rock performer has been an out and proud Trump supporter all along. Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, spoke with <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/kid-rock-believes-trump-has-gained-celebrity-support-because-stars-feel-its-safe-now">Fox News</a> about the shift just before he performed at Trump&#8217;s MAGA Victory Rally on Sunday in Washington, D.C.
&#8220;It feels like the rebirth of our nation,&#8221; Ritchie told Fox News at the event. &#8220;Felt like that at the UFC fight after the election, everybody was together, you know, walking to the ring,&#8221; he added, referencing a high-energy post-election event in New York City.
&#8220;There&#8217;s just this overwhelming sense … you&#8217;ve heard it a million times, that America&#8217;s back,&#8221; the musician added. &#8220;Now they feel it&#8217;s safe to go in the water after dipping their toe in it for four to eight years,&#8221; Ritchie said. &#8220;I mean, welcome to the party, like I&#8217;ve said. Better to have them on board than not.”
&#8220;There&#8217;s a whole change in the air, there&#8217;s a whole shift in everything,&#8221; he said. &#8220;[People] saw what he did the first time. And when you really look at the facts and the numbers and how great it was, and it&#8217;s only going to be better from there. The feeling&#8217;s everywhere. Especially if you&#8217;re on our side – it&#8217;s through the roof. But I think people, all reasonable people, I feel, you know, are understanding, just if we would have got a reasonable Democrat.&#8221;

Ritchie said, &#8220;Like, it&#8217;s OK … we think differently on a lot of things, but if you&#8217;re a reasonable person, and I really got to stress ‘reasonable,’ because Lord knows there are some fruitcakes out there.&#8221;
Underwood caught a lot of heat from fans due to her decision to sing “America the Beautiful” at the inauguration. She eventually issued a statement to fans, saying, &#8220;I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event.”

Snoop Dogg also got chastised by social media followers for performing at the Crypto Ball ahead of the inauguration, especially since the rapper was critical of Trump during his first time in office. But Snoop Dogg had already indicated his feelings had changed during a January 2024 <a href="https://www.thetimes.com/life-style/article/snoop-dogg-i-have-nothing-but-love-and-respect-for-donald-trump-k60k99phr?region=global">interview</a> with the Sunday Times when he said he had &#8220;nothing but love and respect&#8221; for the former president.
&#8220;Donald Trump? He ain&#8217;t done nothing wrong to me,&#8221; he told the outlet. &#8220;He has done only great things for me.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/snoop-dogg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Snoop Dogg</a> now says he has &#8220;nothing but love and respect&#8221; for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>, apparently putting aside any beef that he had with the former president.
The rapper and actor, who was born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/snoop-dogg-i-have-nothing-but-love-and-respect-for-donald-trump-k60k99phr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shared with the Sunday Times</a> his current view on Trump, who is in the middle of running another campaign for the White House.
&#8220;Donald Trump? He ain&#8217;t done nothing wrong to me,&#8221; Snoop Dogg said, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13016223/Snoop-Dogg-love-respect-Trump.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to the Daily Mail</a>. &#8220;He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris. So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.&#8221;
Just before leaving office in January of 2021, Trump <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/transition/full-list-all-the-pardons-and-commutations-issued-by-president-trump-in-2021/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commuted the sentence</a> of Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry O” Harris, among others in the Hip Hop community, after he spent roughly 30 years in prison on <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/entertainment/2021/01/20/lil-wayne-kodak-black-among-pop-culture-figures-granted-clemency-trumps-final-day-office/4228894001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attempted murder and drug-trafficking charges.</a>
Snoop Dogg, whose career took off under the Death Row Record banner and has since purchased the record label, played a roll in pushing for Harris to get freedom, the Daily Beast <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/snoop-doggs-secret-push-for-trump-to-free-death-row-records-co-founder-michael-harry-o-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
After the release, Snoop Dogg <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/snoop-praises-trump-for-pardoning-michael-harry-o-harris" target="_blank" rel="noopener">praised the &#8220;great work&#8221;</a> by Trump and his team for granting clemency to Harris. &#8220;Let them know that I love what they did,” Snoop Dogg said in a Zoom call, <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/01/19/i-love-what-they-did-snoop-dogg-on-trump-granting-clemency-to-pal-harry-o/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">per the New York Post</a>. “It is amazing what the work of God can actually bring to life to make people understand that there is a God.&#8221;
Snoop Dogg <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/assassination-doggwhistle-snoop-shoots-trump-new-amanda-prestigiacomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines in 2017</a> when he released the music video for a song named Lavender in which he shot a clown dressed as Trump in the head with a toy gun. <a href="https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/snoop-dogg-lavender-video-donald-trump-clowns-director-jesse-wellens-7718241/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Billboard</a> reported him saying the &#8220;whole world is clownin’ around&#8221; and listing gripes with Trump and the treatment of minorities by the criminal justice system.
Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-fires-back-after-snoop-dogg-assassination-ben-shapiro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fired back</a> after the music video came out, posting a tweet from the official account of the president that said, &#8220;Can you imagine what the outcry would be if [Snoop Dogg], failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!&#8221;
Among other instances of animosity between the pair included Snoop Dogg posting a video to social media of himself in 2018 smoking what appeared to be a blunt outside the White House and <a href="https://pagesix.com/2018/11/08/snoop-dogg-smokes-blunt-outside-white-house-says-f-k-trump/?_gl=1*uhjjvw*_ga*MjAxODE5OTQxMS4xNjgyOTAyNzA0*_ga_0DZ7LHF5PZ*MTcwNjQ3MzU1My4yMzQuMS4xNzA2NDc0MjcwLjAuMC4w&amp;_ga=2.69306448.1747852014.1706454606-2018199411.1682902704" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying &#8220;f***&#8221; Trump.</a>

Snoop Dogg Has 'Nothing But Love And Respect' For Trump As Feud Goes Up In Smoke

2024 Election

Rap artist-turned-actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/snoop-dogg">Snoop Dogg</a> provided a brief update on Tuesday about his 24-year-old daughter Cori Broadus’ current condition as she recovers from a severe stroke.
“She&#8217;s doing a little bit better,” the 52-year-old told <a href="https://people.com/snoop-dogg-on-daughter-cori-broadus-recovery-after-stroke-exclusive-8548442">People Magazine</a> while attending the Los Angeles premiere of his new sports comedy, “The Underdoggs.” 
When the interviewer asked Snoop if the scary incident helped put his life’s priorities in perspective, the recording artist replied, “Yeah, yeah. Something like that.”
Cori is still in the hospital after experiencing a stroke on January 18, the publication noted. The rapper’s daughter shared on social media that she may be able to go home by Wednesday.
“They took me off heaprin [sic] tonight (blood thinner) &amp; most likely can go home tomorrow,” she told fans on Tuesday.
Cori had previously updated her social media followers on her condition after the stroke occurred. “I had a severe stroke this a.m. I started breaking down crying when they told me,” she wrote in a post shared Thursday. “Like I’m only 24, what did I do in my past to deserve all of this.”

Snoop’s daughter was diagnosed with Lupus, an autoimmune disease that targets healthy tissue and organs throughout the body, when she was six years old. Her mom, Shanté Broadus, said it took a while to get a correct diagnosis.
“No one could tell me what was wrong,” she said in 2010. “They drew tons of blood and said she has old-person cells. They gave her all kinds of [medication]. But she went downhill.”
“She’s the toughest little thing I’ve ever met,” Snoop said at the time. “She’s on the honor roll, playing volleyball and softball, living life. She has all this joy. In the beginning lupus was winning. But now Cori is.”
Cori admitted to struggling with mental health and attempting suicide in 2021. 
“Just because my dad is who he is doesn’t mean I don’t get sad, that doesn’t mean that I don’t want things or that I don’t feel a way. I don’t know how to explain it,” she said during a May 2021 interview with <a href="https://people.com/music/snoop-dogg-daughter-cori-broadus-mental-health-suicide-attempt/">People</a>. “I’ve always been sad. I’ve always been depressed. I feel like I’ve been through a lot.”
“I’ve been sick, I am sick. It’s a lot. Body hurting, you’re just in pain, and you’re so young you’re like, ‘What is happening to me? What is going on?&#8217;”

Snoop Dogg Provides Update Following 24-Year-Old Daughter's Stroke

Rapper <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/snoop-dogg" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Snoop Dogg’s</a> 24-year-old daughter, Cori Broadus, said this week that she was hospitalized after suffering a &#8220;severe stroke.&#8221;
Broadus made the announcement Thursday on social media, which included photos from her hospital bed.
“I had a severe stroke this a.m. I started breaking down crying when they told me,” she wrote. “Like I’m only 24, what did I do in my past to deserve all of this.”
No details were shared about what led to her stroke or if she had an ischemic stroke, which occurs when blood clots or other particles block the blood vessels to the brain; or if she had a hemorrhagic stroke, which happens when an artery in the brain leaks blood or ruptures, according to the <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/stroke/about.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CDC</a>.
Cori Broadus was diagnosed with Lupus, an autoimmune disease that targets healthy tissue and organs throughout the body, when she was only six years old.
&#8220;No one could tell me what was wrong,&#8221; <a href="https://people.com/celebrity/snoop-dogg-details-daughters-tough-battle-with-lupus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Shanté Broadus, the rapper&#8217;s wife, in 2010. &#8220;They drew tons of blood and said she has old-person cells.

“She’s the toughest little thing I’ve ever met,” Snoop Dogg, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., also said at the time. “She’s on the honor roll, playing volleyball and softball, living life. She has all this joy. In the beginning lupus was winning. But now Cori is.”
In 2021, Cori Broadus revealed that she had experienced serious mental health struggles, including a suicide attempt, stemming from her illness.
Then 21 at the time, she said that she had become frustrated by comparing her life to others and feeling as though her struggles were not important to others, according to <a href="https://people.com/music/snoop-dogg-daughter-cori-broadus-mental-health-suicide-attempt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People</a>.

Rapper Snoop Dogg has been added as a reporter to NBC&#8217;s Olympic coverage of the 2024 Summer Games in Paris.
The 52-year-old, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., will join NBC Sports broadcaster Mike Tirico to provide regular reports during primetime coverage, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/nbc-snoop-dogg-2024-paris-olympics-primetime-1235858972/">Variety</a> reported.
&#8220;I grew up watching the Olympics and am thrilled to see the incredible athletes bring their A-game to Paris. It&#8217;s a celebration of skill, dedication, and the pursuit of greatness,&#8221; he said in a statement. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to have some amazing competitions and, of course, I will be bringing that Snoop style to the mix. It&#8217;s going to be the most epic Olympics ever, so stay tuned, and keep it locked.&#8221;

Snoop will appear on the broadcast network and the Peacock streaming site providing reports.
The move to add the rapper to the broadcasts comes after the &#8220;Gin and Juice&#8221; hitmaker teamed with comedian Kevin Hart to give commentary for the 2020 Tokyo Games, <a href="https://www.si.com/olympics/2024/01/01/nbc-add-snoop-dogg-reporter-for-paris-olympics-coverage">Sports Illustrated</a> noted.
Molly Solomon, executive producer and president of NBC Olympics Production, told Variety that Snoop&#8217;s past coverage generated &#8220;tens of millions of views.&#8221;
&#8220;That performance alone has earned Snoop a job as our Special Correspondent in Paris,&#8221; she added. &#8220;We don&#8217;t know what the heck is going to happen every day, but we know he will add his unique perspective to our re-imagined Olympic primetime show.&#8221;
The opening ceremony for the Paris Olympics is currently scheduled for July 26.

To the surprise of no one, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/snoop-dogg">Snoop Dogg</a> is not giving up smoking <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marijuana">marijuana</a>. It was all an elaborate – and effective – marketing campaign for a new product.
The 52-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">rapper</a> made the announcement on social media last week. “I’m giving up smoke,” Snoop wrote in an Instagram post. The attached image included a longer statement: &#8220;After much consideration &amp; conversation with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time.”
After spending decades touting his love for all things cannabis and molding his identity around marijuana, not to mention investing heavily in the industry, the announcement seemed like some kind of joke. Most followers were suspicious about the post, predicting that the rapper would eventually clarify his statements.
Those skeptics weren’t wrong.
On Monday, Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., announced that he’s partnering with Solo Stove, a smokeless fire pit brand.
“I love a good fire outside but the smoke was too much. Solo Stove fixed fire and took out the smoke. They changed the game and now I’m excited to spread the love and stay warm with my friends and family,” the recording artist said in a press release.
The entrepreneur is now an official &#8220;smokesman&#8221; for the brand, per <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/no-snoop-dogg-isnt-quitting-150138014.html">Yahoo</a>. He also posted again on Instagram about his new endorsement.
“I’m done with smoke. I’m going smokeless with [Solo Stove],” he wrote in the caption. 
“I’m giving up smoke,” he says in the video. “I know what you’re thinking. Snoop! Smoke is kinda your whole thing! But I’m done with it. Done with the coughing and my clothes smelling all sticky icky. I’m going smokeless.” 
He next gestures to the Solo Stove burning in front of him, saying, “They took the smoke out of it. Clever.”

While most of Snoop’s followers weren’t fooled by his declaration last week and figured there was more to the story, the rapper did admit to cutting back on his marijuana consumption after becoming a grandfather.

“Being a grandfather has changed me in multiple ways,” he <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11899925/Snoop-Dogg-reveals-moderated-weed-intake-grandfather.html">told</a> The Daily Mail in March.
“The main way is being concerned with how I live, how I move, the kind of people I’m associated with, because I want to see my grandkids grow old.”
Snoop continued, “The only way I can do that is to take precautionary steps as far as how I move, who I hang out with, where I go out, my intake, what am I intaking? Am I doing extra-curricular or am I just doing what I’m supposed to be doing?”
