Snoop Dogg

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., better known by his stage name Snoop Dogg, is an iconic figure in the hip-hop world. His parents nicknamed him "Snoopy" as a child because of his appearance. As a child, Snoop Dogg frequently had run-ins with the police for drug use. After graduating from high school, he spent three years in and out of jail. Through his friend Warren G, he met Dr. Dre. Dre began working with Snoop Dogg, first on the score for the film Deep Cover and then on Dr. Dre's album The Chronic.

In November 1993, his debut album, "Doggystyle," was released. The album debuted at number one on the US charts. Its success was partly due to the singles "What's My Name" and "Gin and Juice." Snoop Dogg has been busy ever since. He has released a total of nineteen albums and appeared in thirty-seven films. He was a fixture at the Olympic Games in France. As an NBC correspondent, Snoop Dogg carries the Olympic torch and can be found on-screen at several competitions.
