In a recent episode of the “All The Smoke” podcast, Snoop Dogg candidly shared about his philanthropic efforts alongside 50 Cent, shedding light on their secret donations to fellow rap legends in need.
While the duo prefers to keep their generous acts under wraps, Snoop couldn’t help but discuss their commitment to supporting their own. All we can say is, get your tissues read.
Supporting the Hip Hop OG’s:
Snoop Dogg emphasized the importance of lookin’ after our own. He expressed on the podcast, “You’ve got to take care of your own, you’ve got to set an example.” He disclosed that their assistance extended to both physical and financial aid for artists facing challenging times, stating:
“We do it privately. I’ve done it many years with some of the artists that needed help, that needed physical and financial help. It’s not a public thing for me. I’m not going to say, ‘I helped him.’ But when they did that publicly, that’s what it’s supposed to be.”
Role Models for the New Generation:
Apart from their discreet philanthropy, Snoop encouraged younger rap stars to follow suit. Snoop stated, “Respect your elders because you making all this money — not that you have to — but if you love this rapper and respect this rapper, you see he’s down on his luck, he may need some money but he has pride. He can’t even ask you ’cause he used to be you,” he said. “But you have enough man in you to say, ‘Unc, I’ma throw you something.’”
The Collaborative Philanthropy of Snoop Dogg and 50 Cent:
Snoop Dogg also shed light on his coincidental collaborative efforts with fellow rapper, 50 Cent, explaining how they had called upon hip hop legends to support them privately. While he refrained from disclosing specific names, he explained that he and 50’s goal was to lend a helping hand to O.G.s who might be reluctant to ask for assistance:
“There’s been many times where me and 50 Cent together have called some of our O.G.’s and put bags on him. And O.G. like, ‘Oh man, no.’ We ain’t trying to hear that ish. We know you need it. Here,” said Snoop.
“But [50] feel like I feel. If it’s a O.G. that need it, that’s down, that don’t know how to ask for it, I put it in. Sometimes they’re like, ‘Oh, 50 just…’ And I’m like, ‘Damn, he beat me to it.”
