Snoop Dogg has left fans gobsmacked after claiming he’s giving up “smoke”.
The legendary rapper and well-known cannabis enthusiast has claimed he’s changed his ways, and his fans aren’t sure what to think.
He wrote on his social media accounts: “After much consideration and conversation with my family, I’ve decided to give up smoke. Please respect my privacy at this time.”
The solemn-sounding statement, along with the muted black and white photo and Snoop’s official signature, left some wondering whether he was playing an elaborate prank.
He’s part of several business ventures involving edibles, and has once claimed he smoked 81 joints a day and has someone to roll them for him.
Earlier this year, Snoop claimed he’s smoking less since having grandchildren.
“Being a grandfather has changed me in multiple ways,” he told the Daily Mail.
“The main way is being concerned with how I live, how I move, the kind of people I’m associated with, because I want to see my grandkids grow old. The only way I can do that is to take precautionary steps as far as how I move, who I hang out with, where I go out, my intake, what am I intaking.
“Am I doing extra-curricular or am I just doing what I’m supposed to be doing?”
Recent research shows marijuana use may be more damaging than previously thought, with two studies suggesting long-term use can affect cognitive skills in a “sizeable and significant” way.
