“I’m giving up smoking,” Snoop captioned on X, formerly Twitter, along with a statement revealing his decision.
“After much consideration &conversations with my family. I’ve decided to give up smoking. Please respect my privacy at this time,” the statement signed by Snoop read.
The announcement shocked fans as Snoop is an outspoken cannabis smoker and even owns his weed brand, Death Row Cannabis.
One fan commented: “Today isn’t April Fools day Snoop.”
Another joked: “Snoop without smoke is like earth without water.”
“Are you ok??” a third worried fan commented.
“Anybody who’s met unc will know this is cap,” wrote another.
Snoop’s public decision comes not long after he made comments about reducing his smoking and cannabis usage for his children and grandchildren, per Daily Mail.
“Being a grandfather has changed me in multiple ways,” the rap icon said while speaking to the publication.
“The main way is being concerned with how I live, how I move, the kind of people I’m associated with because I want to see my grandkids grow old.”
Snoop continued: “The only way I can do that is to take precautionary steps as far as how I move, who I hang out with, where I go out, my intake, what am I intaking?”
Even so, in October, Snoop went viral after the details of his smoking session with singer Ed Sheeran came to light.
Sheeran, 32, said he got so high with Snoop that he lost his sight – all in front of his mother-in-law.The Eyes Closed singer took his wife, Cherry, and her mom, Ann, backstage following Snoop’s show in Australia in March, when he indulged in a smoke session with the rap icon.
“I remember him meeting my mother-in-law and being like, ‘What’s up, queen?'” Sheeran recalled.
“I’ve sort of got quite close friends with Russell Crowe over the years, and he is really close to Snoop Dogg.
“I don’t really smoke at all, but I was in the dressing room, and they were just like blunt for blunt for blunt for blunt.
“I was like, I guess at some point during the night, I have to, just to say I smoked with Snoop Dogg,” Sheeran added.
However, he admitted it went sideways, saying on the Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend podcast: “He was like, ‘Do you want some?’ so I have a bit, and I was like, I don’t feel too bad, this is good.
“Then I have a bit more, and then I have a bit more, and then I have a bit more.
“I just remember looking at him and being like, I can’t see right now.”
In 2020, Snoop was honored with the Clio Cannabis Awards’ Lifetime Achievement for his longtime association with cannabis.
During a 2013 Q&A on X, Snoop also claimed that he smoked up to 81 blunts per day.
