Snoop Dogg Shares How Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle Inspire Him Daily (Exclusive)

Snoop Dogg has been an icon for 25 years, but he’s not showing any signs of slowing down. The rap legend sat down with ET’s Kevin Frazier to talk about everything from late Los Angeles legends Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle, to cancel culture, to his enduring brand.

“[I’m] just a young boy that grew up having a lot of dreams, a lot of wishes and a lot of hope, and he actually executed a lot of them and he learned how to forge a friendship with the world. He learned how to live himself, he learned how to reflect love, he learned how to learn, he learned how to teach, he learned how to be a mentor, a father, a husband, a friend, and took all of that and created a business out of it,” Snoop says of his iconic persona and success. “I’m in the business of love. I’m in the business of doing me and being who I am. I don’t have a script for the things that I do because it’s just me, every day.”

One of the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper’s latest endeavors has him lending his name to his very own wine, a collaboration with Napa’s 19 Crimes winery, called Snoop Cali Red.

“It was prestige to get into wine and to know the smell of it, the origins and where it comes from,” Snoop says, noting that the wine game is a “step up” from his signature “Gin and Juice” or other drinks he came up on as a young rapper. “The whole get-down, it was interesting for me, so I wanted to dig in to it.”

And of course, he’s sent a “couple of cases” to his most famous foodie friend: Martha Stewart. “You know I can’t give her [just] one bottle… she gonna blow that on a meal. She gonna pour all that with a meal she makes.”

“She’s probably gonna make a sangria,” he adds with a laugh. “She might go to that level with it.”
