Snoop Dogg Becomes 'America's Most Lovable Person' And New Coach on 'The Voice'

Snoop Dogg, once a controversial figure in the rap world, has now become a beloved American icon. After debuting as a gangster rapper over 30 years ago, Snoop, known for his smooth voice and towering presence, is now one of the most recognised figures in popular culture. Reflecting on his journey, he marvels at how he's transformed from being banned and imprisoned for marijuana to now being embraced as "America’s most lovable person." 

At 52, Snoop remains deeply connected to his personal and professional roots. He’s still married to his high school sweetheart, Shante, and has a large family, with four children and twelve grandchildren.

His latest venture? Coaching young talent on NBC's ‘The Voice’, where his experience mentoring inner-city youth in football gives him an edge. With his unique mix of charm and expertise, he promises to be a game-changer on the show.

Snoop’s career evolution is marked by key partnerships that broadened his appeal. His collaboration with Pharrell Williams in the early 2000s resulted in hits like ‘Beautiful.’ Later, teaming up with Martha Stewart for their cooking show showcased his versatility, making him a household name. Snoop’s unexpected turn as an Olympic commentator further cemented his role as a cultural icon, with fans loving his unfiltered, humorous commentary.

As he prepares for his next chapter, from coaching on ‘The Voice’ to partnering with the NCAA for the Arizona Bowl, Snoop’s goal is clear: keep growing while staying true to himself. Through it all, he's maintained his authenticity and continued evolving into the "same old G" loved by millions.
