Snoop Dogg has a net worth of $150 million as of September 2022. He is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer. He gained fame in the 1990s with his rap music and became the face of gangsta rap in the West Coast hip-hop culture with songs like “Gin and Juice” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”
Early Life
Snoop Dogg’s real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr, born on October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California. Snoop was just three months old when his father, Vernell Varnadoleft, left, and his mother married Calvin Cordozar Broadus. They later divorced and Broadus grew up as a middle child with a single mother.
Broadus was young when his mom nicknamed him “Snoopy,” partially because he liked cartoons and because she thought he resembled the character from Peanuts.
In his early years, Broadus sang and played piano at church and was a dedicated student and football player.
He worked odd jobs to help make money for the family, although he became a member of the Rollin 20s Crip gang in Long beach when he was a teenager.
Broadus first started rapping in sixth grade. Music gave him a voice, and kids would gather around to hear him rap which gave him the boost he needed to believe he could make it in the music industry.
He went to Long Beach Polytechnic High School, graduating in 1989, but was often in trouble with the law and was arrested for possession of cocaine. He spent the next three years in and out of jail.
Once Snoop Dogg got out of prison, he started trying to make it as a musician and put together some tracks with aspiring rappers Nate Dogg and Lil 1/2.
Music Career
Snoop Dogg got his first break in 1992 when the already famous Dr. Dre received a mixtape featuring Snoop. Dre liked what he heard and gave Snoop an audition. This started a long relationship between the two, with Dre mentoring Snoop Dogg and collaborating with him on Dre’s album, The Chronic. Getting featured on that album helped launch a successful solo career for Snoop.
In 1993 Snoop Dogg released his debut album Doggystyle and started on his way to becoming a household name. Snoop is now one of the most famous rappers in the world.
Snoop Dogg has released 20 albums, five collaborative albums, 25 mixtapes, 175 singles, three EPs, and 16 promo singles. The rapper has sold over 35 million albums worldwide. He’s also had enormous success being featured on albums by Dr. Dre and Eminem.
