During his teenage years he worked various jobs, including delivering newspapers to help his mother pay the bills and put food on the table, however, he was also a member of the gang Crips (although he denied this when talking to the police).

He was once a member of the Nation of Islam, but in 2012 converted to Rastafari, and changed his name to Snoop Lion following a trip to Jamaica, however, the name didn’t stick for long.
He is a huge fan of sports, and the teams he cheers for are the Los Angeles Dodgers (baseball), the Los Angeles Lakers (basketball), and the USC Trojans (football). Snoop Dogg is also a certified football coach, and once coached his son Cordell’s team.
Snoop Dogg smokes cannabis on a daily basis, and although he said he quit in 2002, he came back to it and today smokes around 80 blunts every day.
He claims that he worked as a pimp in 2003 and 2004, which would seem unlikely given his success in music.
