In a surprising turn of events, Snoop Dogg recently had the internet buzzing with an announcement that he was giving up smoke. The rapper, renowned for his love of marijuana, left fans in suspense, only to reveal that he’s going “smokeless” in a unique way.
Snoop took to Instagram with a video captioned, “I’m done with smoke. I’m going smokeless with @solostove. #ad.” In the video, he declared, “I’m giving up smoke,” catching everyone off guard. However, it turns out he wasn’t bidding farewell to weed but embracing a smokeless lifestyle with Solo Stove’s smokeless fire pit.
Solo Stove, recognizing the game changing collaboration, declared Snoop Dogg their official “smokesman” in a press release. Snoop expressed his excitement, stating, “Solo Stove fixed fire and took out the smoke. They changed the game, and now I’m excited to spread the love and stay warm with my friends and family.”
The initial announcement sent shockwaves, with fans speculating whether the rapper was serious. Some, like actor Lamorne Morris, sought clarification, asking, “Define… smoke.” Others questioned if it was an April Fool’s Day prank. Snoop, in subsequent posts, alluded to but didn’t explicitly clarify his decision, adding an air of mystery to the revelation.
This move comes hot on the heels of Snoop’s partnership with Martha Stewart on “Best Buds Bags.” The limited edition crossbody bag, as per Snoop’s statement to The Source, boasts features like secret stash pockets for herbs, aligning with the rapper’s well-established presence in the cannabis industry.
Support poured in from fellow celebrities, with Queen Latifah, Jhené Aiko, and Maya Rudolph encouraging Snoop in the comments. Aiko even coined the phrase, “Not smoking it’s the new smoking.” The announcement coincided with the launch of the “Best Buds Bags,” further solidifying Snoop’s commitment to the cannabis culture.
On a personal note…I must express that I wholeheartedly support the use of weed for medical reasons, especially when prescribed by a doctor to alleviate conditions like seizures or chronic pain etc. However, a pressing issue in my role as an EMT firefighter is the prevalence of fake and laced marijuana on the streets, which poses a significant threat to our community, particularly our young people.
Despite this unexpected twist, Snoop Dogg’s connection to cannabis remains unwavering. His ventures include a branded line of weed, Leafs by Snoop, and participation in the cannabis investment fund Casa Verde. The rapper continues to innovate, with collaborations like Snazzle Os, cannabis infused onion ring chips with TSUMo Snacks in 2022.
As we navigate this “smokeless” chapter in Snoop Dogg’s journey, it’s clear that the rapper is always ready for a clever twist, leaving us intrigued and entertained. And while he explores a new way to enjoy the warmth of a fire pit, the essence of Snoop’s brand remains as distinctive as ever. After all, as he aptly puts it, “Clever. Clever indeed, sir.”
