He’s partnered with household name businesses including Corona, Grubhub, and Petco, and in 2022, he acquired the brand name rights to Death Row Records, which produced his debut album Doggystyle in 1993.
In a 2023 interview with Distractify, the rap mogul shared the two words he keeps in mind when approaches any business venture. “They the same word but they spelled different,” he told the outlet. “The word is funds. It has to be fun to make a whole lot of funds.”
As for his controversial image, Snoop says any brand he partners with is well aware of what they’re getting. “Companies that get down with me know how I get down. They know the extracurricular things that I do,” he told The New York Times in a July 2021 interview. “They know the things that I do in the hip-hop world and in the business world. They have to accept all of that when you’re dealing with Snoop Dogg. That’s the way I branded myself, to where when you get Snoop Dogg, you get all of it. It’s just, what version did you pay for? Did you pay for the version with the kids, the G-rated Addams Family movie? Or did you pay for the rated-R Snoop Dogg, the one the adults like? Which one did you pay for?”
