Rapper Snoop Dogg, who had made weed consumption a part of his identity for the past several years, has announced his decision to quit smoking.
In his Instagram post, the American rapper wrote: “After much consideration & conversation with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke.”
“Please respect my privacy at this time,” he said.
Along with the statement, the post carried a picture of him with folded hands.
Snoop and his love for weed
The news may come as a shock to some as the rapper has long been open about his love of weed, and even claimed to have smoked in the White House. He has launched several business ventures related to marijuana, including a pot-focused media company called “Merry Jane,” and a line of cannabis products, reported CNN.
He had invested in a venture firm named Casa Verde Capital.
The venture capital firm reportedly invests in marijuana start-ups.
The entertainer revealed in 2019 that he had a full-time staffer whose sole job it is to roll his blunts. And in 2021, he revealed on Reddit that he has 81 smoke breaks a day, reported CNN.
