Name
I found it odd that Snoop Dogg would be referred to as Broadus throughout this article. For instance, in Dr. Dre's article, Dr. Dre is referred to as Dre or Dr. Dre, not Young. Kesha is called Kesha, not Sebert. Iggy Pop is called Pop, not Osterberg. Madonna is Madonna, not Ciccone. And so on. I nominate that Snoop Dogg be referred to as Snoop Dogg or Snoop throughout the article. Attila412 (talk) 07:51, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

I agree with this, reporting ubiquitously calls him Snoop, and even in this article we inconsistently switch between "Snoop" and "Broadus". We should definitely settle on a single name, and that name should likely be "Snoop" Nickelpro (talk) 20:01, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * He is also referred to as "Dogg" in this article, which is really awkward to me. Pyrrho the Skeptic (talk) 20:08, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Agreed. He's almost universally referred to in reliable sources as "Snoop".  Per WP:UCN, this article should refer to him as such.  -- Jayron 32 13:28, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Snoopverse
Snoop Dog cooperated with The Sandbox Metaverse to build the Snoopverse: https://coinmarketcap.com/alexandria/article/enter-the-snoopverse-in-the-sandbox 2A02:3038:6:F19C:FF41:8B89:39E5:40A0 (talk) 21:40, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Personal Life paragraph needing citation
The paragraph below currently has no citation point to magazine article it mentions. I believe there should be a citation connecting it to the article to help verify the legitimacy of the paragraph. What he claims may be false, but we need to be pointed to the moment where he shared these words in the article.

"Snoop claimed in a 2006 interview with Rolling Stone magazine that unlike other hip hop artists who had superficially adopted the pimp persona, he was an actual professional pimp in 2003 and 2004, saying, "That shit was my natural calling and once I got involved with it, it became fun. It was like shootin' layups for me. I was makin' 'em every time."

Legal "Incidents?"
The paragraph "Legal Incidents" could better be entitled, "Criminality" or "Criminal Convictions" because it trivializes Snoop Dog's many convictions, minimizing the true nature of his criminal actions. Even a cursory reading of this section reveals time in prison and many years of supervised probation. The headline should follow the facts. 2600:1702:15D0:2FE0:8893:828C:AB0B:2E1B (talk) 04:58, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Snoop Dogg was never a member of the rollin 20's crip gang. Your source of Snoop himself saying he was in rolling stone magazine is not credible. There is no evidence of Snoop Dogg being a member and many interviews where people have said he is lying. I propose the article is changed from " He was a member of the Rollin' 20s Crips gang in the Eastside neighborhood of Long Beach" to "He was affialated with the Rollin' 20s Crips gang" until proof is found.

Change "Snoop Dogg revealed himself to be the prolific NFT collector going by the name of Cozomo De’ Medici, while sharing his wallet address on September 21, 2022, whose identity remained hidden until that point."

To "As part of a marketing stunt, Snoop Dogg revealed himself to be the prolific NFT collector going by the name of Cozomo De’ Medici, while sharing his wallet address on September 21, 2022, whose identity remained hidden until that point. Cozomo later hinted in an interview with Christie's that he was not Snoop Dogg, by saying "I'm fortunate to have some friends who enjoy trolling Twitter as much as I do" and that the "real identity story is the art and artists we support with the collection, that's why I do this."

 * Hello my friend, I am curious to hear why you feel this language is promotional. I'm not affiliated with them in any way and grabbed this info from their collection website and about page.
 * If anything, this is more accurate that the current description of Cozomo? Digitalartmaster (talk) 14:16, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Maybe we exclude the second part about the works in their collection and keep the one line description of Cozomo? Digitalartmaster (talk) 14:17, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Trying to break down the requests here. If I understand correctly, your primary concern is that the Christie's interview casts doubt on Snoop Dogg and Cozomo being the same person, right? I've also found other sources (Vice:, Slate: ) which suggest this claim is in doubt and has always been.

I have a proposed alternative to both this ER and the one above:

On September 21, 2021 Snoop Dogg revealed himself claimed on Twitter to be the prolific NFT collector going by the name of Cozomo De' Medici, while sharing his wallet address on September 21, 2022, whose identity remained hidden until that point. Cozomo De’ Medici (Snoop Dogg) owns multiple “blue-chip NFTs ” from collections such as Cryptopunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club, and Meebits, World of Women, Moonbirds, The Proof Collective, and more. In a Vice report following the 2021 claim, reporters Jordan Pearson and Jason Koebler provided evidence disputing the claim that Snoop Dogg and Cozmo De' Medici were the same person. In a February 2023 interview with Christie's, Medici described the identity reveal as "trolling" and a "stunt".

This contains the following changes and fixes:
 * 2022 should be 2021 per the Fortune source, this appears to just be a typo
 * "while sharing his wallet address" isn't adding much clarity to the sentence
 * "blue chip NFTs" doesn't appear in source and scare quotes make it seem like a made-up term, replace
 * no need for such an extensive list of NFTs; a couple illustrate the point fine
 * add information that Snoop Dogg's claim was almost immediately disputed, pointing to the Vice article specifically. The Slate report is equally usable here.
 * add the christie's interview
 * minor smart quote fix

I still don't love the first sentence but this reads better to me and incorporates the info you provided. What are your thoughts on this alternative? Dylnuge (Talk • Edits) 22:12, 24 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I've incorporated this version I proposed into the article in the meantime; feel free to reply here and reopen the edit request if you think it should be changed further. Thanks! Dylnuge  (Talk • Edits) 22:21, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
 * This is great, thank you. New editor here, thank you for explaining why you made the chnages you did :) Digitalartmaster (talk) 22:30, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Also I went through Cozomo's wallets and it seems he never owned a Bored ape yatch club NFT.
 * Majority of their holdings are in 1/1 artworks, by notable artists like XCOPY, DeeKay Motion and Sam Spratt.
 * So perhaps we say...
 * "Medici owns multiple NFTs from artists and projects such as XCOPY, Sam Spratt, DeeKay Motion and CryptoPunks."
 * Source: https://www.cozomomedicicollection.com/select-works Digitalartmaster (talk) 22:35, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, that constitutes original research; Wikipedia policies are only to include statements which can be cited to a reliable source (e.g. a news article saying "Cozomo owns X, Y, and Z" works, but saying "I looked at wallets Cozomo owns" does not).
 * I'm unfamiliar with WGMI Media (the source for that statement: ), but it sounds like it might not be a reliable source, which means the best thing to do here is strike the source and remove the sentence about Cozomo's NFT holdings (it doesn't add a ton to the Snoop Dogg article anyways, especially if there's strong evidence they're not the same person). Dylnuge  (Talk • Edits) 02:39, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Also Cozomo's website is a valid source but a primary source. It may still be OK to use for non-controversial claims but generally the preference is to use secondary sources where they're available. WP:ABOUTSELF lists the criteria for using a self-published source where the subject is talking about themselves, which is more frequently used for things like birthdates or names, but this might be a valid use.  Dylnuge  (Talk • Edits) 02:44, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Understood, thank you. :) Digitalartmaster (talk) 21:14, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Is he actually related to Brandy and Ray J?
This is a piece of trivia that has been circulating around the internet for a while and Snoop Dogg himself has claimed it. Per Grunge: "it's unclear if their relation is through either the maternal or paternal side, but Snoop Dogg told MTV in 2006 that the singer was his first cousin." But there's no surname in common between their parents: Snoop's parents are Vernell Varnado and Beverly Tate, and Brandy's parents are Willie Norwood and Sonja Bates. Brandy herself also said they are cousins but admitted she doesn't know how/through who, and seemed to treat it more like a rumor she is amused by. (I can't link because YouTube is banned, but search "Brandy Says She Wouldn’t Date Ray J’s Homie Joe Budden..." on Power 106 Los Angeles and it's around 19:30.) That makes me wonder if this claim is apocryphal and they're metaphorical "cousins" rather than actually being related. --Shivertimbers433 (talk) 06:53, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * On that topic, how many of the "cousins" listed under family are actually verified to be related to him and not just metaphorical cousins? Other than Sasha Banks. --Shivertimbers433 (talk) 22:22, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
