What’s Next for Snoop? He is giving up smoking after years of marijuana use

Known weed enthusiast and rapper Snoop Dogg announced the unthinkable on Thursday — he’s giving up smoking.

The hip hop star, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, did not specify what kind of smoke he’s quitting — or even if he’s serious.

“After much consideration & conversation with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy now,” he posted on Instagram and X.

In replies to Snoop’s post on X, some fans met the news with a healthy dose of skepticism.

“Today isn’t April Fool’s Day Snoop,” one replier commented.

Another person on X responded that he thought Snoop’s announcement was a smoke screen and that the rapper was transitioning to edibles to give his lungs a break.

“He’s moving to edible’s letting his lungs rest a little eat up champ.”

On Instagram, one Snoop follower appeared to take his message seriously: “I had a pulmonary embolism last year and had to give up smoking as well; so more edibles for Edible Dee it is; but I know how hard this transition is especially for someone like you. Take all the time you need.”

Another poster on Instagram praised Snoop for announcing publicly that he had quit, considering all the money he’s made while openly promoting marijuana. Images of Snoop with a blunt are ubiquitous on the internet.

What will be next for sober Snoop? He’s a grandfather now – and we’re getting older. We understand Snoop.

You start dying when you stop dreaming.
