Snoop Dogg exploded onto the scene with his debut album Doggystyle, the first of seven records to go platinum for the multi-talented performer from Long Beach, California.
Snoop Dogg is also no stranger to the world of sports, having most recently performed with Dr. Dre during the Closing Ceremonies of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
That duo was also part of a star-studded halftime performance during Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles in February 2022 that saw 2024 Concert Kickoff performer 50 Cent, Eminem, Mary J, Blige, Kendrick Lamar and Anderson .Paak rock the house at SoFi Stadium. That performance earned a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special.
Snoop Dogg’s list of accolades also included BET Awards (2003, 2019), MTV Movie Award (Best Cameo, Training Day, 2002) and 20 Grammy Award nominations.
