A cultural icon with platinum-winning albums (Doggystyle went 4x platinum and The Dogfather went 2x platinum), Snoop Dogg has become a beloved figure since his debut in 1993. Originally a rapper/songwriter/producer, he has crossed over into celebrity pop culture, appearing in cult classic shows like The L Word, Entourage, and Comedy Central Roast, and developing and producing his own movies and TV shows, including VH1’s Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, Beach Bum, and the Oscar-winning Training Day. An active entrepreneur, Snoop Dogg launched a cannabis-focused venture capital fund, Casa Verde Capital, as well as his cannabis lifestyle brand, Merry Jane, in October 2015.
