Renowned rapper Snoop Dogg surprised fans on Thursday by claiming he is quitting smoking weed. In a social media post, the 52-year-old rapper announced, “I’m giving up smoke,” and included a fuller statement that read, “After much consideration with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke.” Snoop Dogg requested privacy during this time.
Fans expressed skepticism, questioning whether this announcement is a publicity stunt or a precursor to a new business venture, particularly in the edibles market. Snoop Dogg, known for his love of cannabis, has ventured into various marijuana-related businesses, including edibles, weed strains, and a digital media platform dedicated to marijuana-related news.
In the past, reports claimed that Snoop Dogg had someone rolling 75-150 joints for him daily, a claim he disputed. Last year, his alleged “personal blunt roller,” Renegade Piranha, stated that he rolled around half a pound of weed daily, equivalent to 75 to 150 joints. However, Snoop Dogg has previously acknowledged moderating his weed intake after becoming a grandfather in 2015 when his eldest child, Cordé, welcomed a son.
Snoop Dogg, a father of four, emphasized that being a grandfather has changed him, prompting him to reconsider his lifestyle choices for the sake of his grandchildren. While he has been an advocate and enthusiast for marijuana, the rapper has occasionally spoken about adjusting his habits for the well-being of his family.
Fans remain curious about the authenticity of Snoop Dogg’s announcement and await further developments, as the rapper has been a prominent figure in the cannabis culture and industry.
