Fans Condemn Snoop Dogg For Smoking Around His Grandchildren
Snoop Dogg has faced severe backlash from fans after he was seen smoking while his grandchildren entered his studio to enjoy the rhythm he was creating.
The veteran rapper shared a video on Instagram on Wednesday (February 21), where he was surrounded by his granddaughters while smoking a blunt in a recording studio.
The comments section was filled with widespread condemnation, as Snoop was heavily criticized for exposing young children to the drug.
One commenter said: “Nobody and I do mean NOBODY smoking around my babies.”
Another added: “Like Serioisly … Is there a blunt in his hand in front of the grand babies? Come man, damn.”
Someone else commented: “Burning with the kids ????”
The 52-year-old rapper has yet to respond to the backlash.
On Thursday, November 16, 2023, Snoop Dogg declared that he would no longer be smoking.
It remains unclear whether he is referring to his consumption of marijuana or cigarettes, as he has been known for his excessive smoking habits. Throughout his long career, Snoop has been closely associated with the use of marijuana.
“After much consideration & conversation with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time,” he posted on Instagram and X.
The unexpected declaration made by the rapper has resulted in diverse reactions from his fans, as illustrated below.
“Today isn’t April Fools 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 just 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 in his hand are ubiquitous on the internet.
“The courage, the boldness, the ability to announce that you’re stopping something that made you SO SO SO much money which created a character that you and all of us are used too is truly remarkable,” the poster wrote. “As a sober man I speak for me and all of us sober people around the world, welcome to sobriety!!!”
