Snoop Dogg’s Surprising Announcement Sparks Speculation

Renowned rapper Snoop Dogg, known for his love of marijuana, recently shocked fans by declaring his decision to quit smoking. In an Instagram and X post, the hip-hop star, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, left the nature of the “smoke” unspecified, leaving fans curious about his intentions.

While some followers on X expressed skepticism, suggesting it might be a stunt, others speculated that Snoop could be transitioning to edibles for the sake of his lungs. One Instagram follower, seemingly taking the announcement seriously, shared their own experience of giving up smoking due to health reasons, offering support for Snoop’s journey.

Praising Snoop’s bold move, another Instagram user highlighted the rapper’s significant role in popularizing marijuana culture and commended him for openly embracing sobriety. Representatives for Snoop Dogg have not provided immediate comments on the announcement.

Snoop Dogg’s association with marijuana has been a constant throughout his decades-long career, notably rising to fame with appearances on Dr. Dre’s 1992 album, “The Chronic,” featuring iconic marijuana-themed artwork. His debut album, “Doggystyle,” released in 1993, solidified his position as a top-tier rapper.
