Snoop Dogg Recalled The Time He Passed Out When He Met His Favorite Movie Star

Snoop Dogg is one of the most famous people on the planet, but even he isn’t immune to getting star struck. During his appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show to talk about his new movie The Underdoggs, Snoop recounted the time he met one of his favorite film stars and fainting from the butterflies in his stomach.

“We was doing a movie, Bones,” he explained. “This is young Snoop. I’m young at the time. They tell me I got the role with Pam Grier.” At this point, he demonstrates his excitement with a dance. “Catch the flight from Frisco to Vancouver. So, when I get to Frisco I’m sitting down and Pam Grier walk up and just sit right next to me and started talking to me. My heart was beating fast, Jen. So, I’m like, ‘I hear what you’re saying, Pam. Give me a minute.’ I go to the bathroom and faint.”

He says he eventually recovered after some assistance. “I’m laying on the ground. My security come in. They like, ‘Get off this nasty floor, man. What is you doing?’ I’m like, I looked up I said: ‘Cuz, I just met Pam Grier.’” But it wasn’t all bad. Snoop says Grier gave him “information on how to be a better actor, a better person, and how to receive people like this who you are infatuated with. So, I thanked her for that and I believe I became a better actor after that. So, Pam, I love you for that. And I appreciate you.”

Bones is a 2001 supernatural horror film in which Snoop played the eponymous character, a numbers runner who is killed by rival criminals but comes back to life via mysterious means. Grier plays his lover Pearl, who attempts to lay his soul to rest. The film features numerous homages to Snoop’s favorite 1970s Blaxploitation films, many of which Grier starred in, sparking his initial infatuation.

Snoop Dogg Has ‘Nothing But Love And Respect’ For Donald Trump After Previously Calling Him A ‘Punk’

Snoop Dogg, who once pointed a fake gun at a clown dressed as Donald Trump, now has “nothing but love and respect” for the former president.

In an interview with the Times, the rapper said, “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me. He has done only great things for me. He pardoned Michael Harris.” Harris is one of the founders of Death Row Records, which released legendary albums like Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, 2Pac’s All Eyez On Me, and Snoop’s Doggystyle. He spent over 30 years behind the bars on attempted murder and cocaine trafficking charges before being pardoned by Trump.

The Times brought up an Instagram post from 2012 where Snoop listed the reasons why he was voting Barack Obama, and just as importantly, not voting for Ted Lasso-loving Republican candidate Mitt Romney. Will he do the same thing for Biden vs. Trump round two. “I may have to,” he said. “Because there are mixed views on that, so I want to see what the people say…”

Snoop has previously been far less complementary about Trump (who once mocked the rapper’s “failing career” on then-Twitter). In 2018, he exclaimed “f*ck the president” while smoking weed outside the White House; two years later, during the 2020 election, he said, “I ain’t never voted a day in my life, but this year I think I’m going to get out and vote because I can’t stand to see this punk in office one more year.” He even shared an image on social media calling November 9, 2016, the day Trump won the election over Hillary Clinton, the second worst day in American history — after September 11th.

Snoop Dogg Says Donald Trump Has His “Love & Respect” For Pardon

Snoop Dogg recently doubled down on his goodwill for Donald Trump during a recent interview with The Times, and if you weren’t already aware, this isn’t his first rodeo when it comes to this support. “Donald Trump? He ain’t done nothing wrong to me,” he shared. “He has done only great things for me.” Specifically, Tha Doggfather referred to the disgraced former president’s pardon of Death Row Records co-founder Michael “Harry-O” Harris, one of his last acts before he left office in January of 2021. “So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump,” he concluded.

Furthermore, this is what the Long Beach legend had to say a couple of years ago when news of this pardon broke. “That’s great work for the president and his team on the way out,” Snoop Dogg expressed. “They did some great work while they was in there and they did some great work on their way out. Let them know that I love what they did. It is amazing what the work of God can actually bring to life to make people understand that there is a God.”

Snoop Dogg Doubles Down On Donald Trump Praise

However, Snoop Dogg wasn’t always a fan of Donald Trump. “So, me and my homeboys sittin’ up here talkin’ about all the people that President Trump disrespected,” he recalled in September of 2020. “Women, gays, transgender people, Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, and now veterans. Hm. Seems like he’s disrespecting every color in the world and everything that ain’t what he is, which is a racist. With that being said, the people that voted for him got exactly what they wanted. They gave them what he said he was gon’ do. So, the next motherf***er, you better tell us what we gon’ get for your vote. You better show up and deliver, period. We just want some peace, love, equality, and tranquility for everybody. All lives. Just basic conversation. Now carry on.”

If you didn’t already know that Snoop changed his mind because of Trump’s pardon -– which doesn’t excuse his politics -– then you might see this as part of a recent wave of endorsements for him. Benny The Butcher recently caught flack for his support, which he explained in an interview with The Breakfast Club. Whether you agree with this forgiveness or not, it’s clear that the West Coast MC is speaking from a wholly personal perspective, and not that which he employed in the past to speak on the criminal.

Snoop Dogg Supposedly Has An Unreleased Song With Michael Jackson, But Fans May Never Have The Chance To Hear It

by

Since the early ’90s,Snoop Dogg has built an impressive discography filled with the who’s who of music, including the late Tupac, Dr. Dre, Pharrell, and 50 Cent, to name a few. But there was one legendary collaboration that fans may never have the chance to listen to.

On January 26, during an interview on Sirius XM’s Radio Andy, Snoop revealed that he and the late Michael Jackson worked on music long before his death. “We have a record that never came together,” he said.

When host Andy Cohen asked about the record’s status, Snoop confessed that he had no clue. “I gotta find out [who has the masters],” he said. “It’s a record that we did for — you know, he made records for the world — a peaceful, whole lot of artists on its record. He called me one night, and it was crazy because of the way his voice came through the phone.

Jackson was actually the one who suggested the two team up. “He was like, ‘Snoop, it’s Mike. I have this song I want you to get on,’” he recalled. “I’m like, man, whatever you want. It ain’t no problem. Talk to me. After we got past the song, he was like, ‘My mom always said that you look like someone in my family. I think we’re related.’”

Surely the King of West Coast Rap and the King of Pop teaming up on a song would’ve been epic.

Is Snoop Dogg Releasing A New Album In 2024?

Snoop Dogg has a busy year planned. His new movie, The Underdoggs, is out now on Amazon Prime Video, he’s headlining the 2024 return of the nostalgic Lovers & Friends Festival, and he’s still working on that new album, which he first started teasing way back with the tentative title, Missionary, a spiritual sequel to his debut, Doggystyle.

Earlier this week, at the Underdoggs premiere in Culver City, Snoop told Good Morning America‘s Michael Strahan that the first single is coming very soon and revealed that he and Dr. Dre had been working on the album for the past eight months. “I can let the rabbit out the hat,” he said. “I’ve been working on a record with Dr. Dre for the past 8 months. We’re about ready to drop a single in a couple weeks, so that’s what I’ve been cooking up.” While that doesn’t necessarily mean the album will be out this year (especially with the notoriously perfectionist Dre at the helm), it’s a good sign that we could see the album sooner rather than later.

Snoop’s most recent album, Bacc On Death Row (or BODR) was released on February 11, 2022, and featured appearances from DaBaby, The Game, Lil Duval, Nas, the late Nate Dogg, Sleepy Brown, T.I., Uncle Murda, and Wiz Khalifa. It peaked at No. 104 on the Billboard 200. He also released the mixtape Gangsta Grillz: I Still Got It and the Mount Westmore album Snoop Cube 40 $hort that same year.

Mary J. Blige Says Her Lover & Friends Fest Inclusion Was A Mistake

by

In a surprising turn of events, Mary J. Blige has found herself in the midst of a festival fiasco as she expresses regret over her inclusion in the lineup for this year’s highly anticipated Lovers & Friends festival in Las Vegas scheduled for May 4. The R&B icon took to Instagram on Thursday (Jan. 25) to clarify that her name being on the star-studded bill was, in fact, a mistake. Despite the overwhelming flood of kind words and excitement from fans following the festival announcement, Blige revealed in an Instagram story, “Unfortunately my inclusion was an error as I will be busy in preparation for my Strength of a Woman Summit just one week later!”

Moreover, she went on to express gratitude for the enthusiastic response, stating, “I have the greatest fans in the world and can’t wait to see you in New York in a few short months!” Blige had recently unveiled the sizzle reel for the upcoming Strength of a Woman Summit, generating anticipation for the event. However, specific details regarding dates and the lineup for this year’s summit are yet to be disclosed, leaving fans eager for more information. As fans eagerly awaited her performance at Lovers & Friends, it appears that Blige’s festival plans clash with her commitment to the Strength of a Woman Summit. Despite her attempts to rectify the error, a spokesperson for Lovers & Friends, at press time, had not responded to Billboard’s request for comment on Blige’s statement.

Mary J Blige Will Not Be At Lovers & Friends

Sources close to the acclaimed artist informed Billboard that Blige’s representatives have diligently sought the removal of her name from the festival’s promotional materials over the past 24 hours, yet their efforts have been in vain, creating a discordant note in the festival’s lead-up. The festival, set to unfold on May 24 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds, boasts an impressive lineup featuring Janet Jackson, Usher (performing “Confessions”), Backstreet Boys, Lil Wayne (performing Tha Carter III), Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys, Nelly Furtado, Nas, Ludacris, Ciara, Nelly, and many more.

However, Mary J. Blige‘s unexpected withdrawal from the festival adds a layer of intrigue to the event, leaving fans and industry insiders curious about the backstage dynamics and the potential impact on the festival’s overall atmosphere. As the saga unfolds, the festival organizers’ response and any potential adjustments to the lineup will be closely watched by fans eagerly anticipating what promises to be a monumental event. Mary J. Blige’s festival misstep adds a surprising twist to the narrative, making her absence a point of conversation leading up to the highly awaited Lovers & Friends festival in Las Vegas.

How Much Weed Does Snoop Dogg Smoke Per Day?

by

Ask your parents (heck, even your grandparents) to say one thing they know about Snoop Dogg, and they’ll probably mention that he smokes a lot of weed. The question, though, is how much?

How Much Weed Does Snoop Dogg Smoke Per Day?

The answer has a bit of history to it.

In a 2013 Q&A on Twitter (now X), Snoop said that he smokes 81 blunts in a day.

In 2022, Snoop’s personal blunt roller (that’s a thing, yes) backed up that number: In an interview, she was asked how many joints she has rolled for the rapper since working for him and she answered, “I calculate it at over 450,000. I do about half a pound a day, which is 75 to 150 joints.”

However, Snoop refuted that claim shortly after. In a video shared on Instagram, Snoop said, “B*tch said I smoke 450,000… b*tch, this is all in a day’s work. Stop lyin’. [How the] f*ck am I gonna smoke all that weed in one day? What am I, a f*ckin’ machine? B*tch, this is the roaches. See? Roaches.” In frame was a pile of ten roaches.

So, it might be the case that while the lofty numbers used to be true, Snoop has perhaps toned down his usage in recent years and is closer to ten blunts per day.

Snoop Dogg Hopped In An ‘Oppenheimer’ Cast Photo For Some Reason, A Reason He Has Now Explained

by

Snoop Dogg explained how his viral photo with the cast of Oppenheimer happened, during his recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. For those who haven’t seen it, the rapper went to an event and happened to pop up in the background.

Considering it was all the film’s actors except for Matt Damon, Snoop’s photo bomb was a hilarious addition. It’s such a random pop-up that it very well could have been Photoshopped. But no, it’s real.

“How did this happen?” Kimmel asked him. “Were you in Oppenheimer and I didn’t notice?”

“No, I wasn’t in the movie,” Snoop answered. “I happened to be at that party that night… I’m a fan of the majority of the cast on there, the director, the actors, and they asked me to be in the picture. They were like, ‘We can’t take a picture unless Snoop Dogg is in it.’ I’m like, ‘Alright.’”

Snoop went on to share how he felt about the Christopher Nolan flick, which became a summer blockbuster during the Barbenheimer craze. (For the record, he also went to see Barbie in theaters.)

“I loved it,” he said of Oppenheimer. “It was a long movie, but I loved it.” Snoop received screeners to view it at home but pointed out that when it comes to movies, he “can’t watch it in pieces,” and opted to run through the 3-plus-hour movie in full.

“I gotta watch it all,” he added. “I wanna respect the director, the actors, the whole storyline, and let it get to where it need to get to.”

Check out Snoop giving the backstory behind him joining the Oppenheimer cast photo above.
