Snoop puts the Dogg to bed after spiritual awakening in Jamaica, saying he wants
to seek out new challenges.
Snoop Dogg is dead! Long live Snoop Lion!
The rumors are true! Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr – aka Snoop Doggy Dogg aka the rap legend
behind hits like Still A G Thang and Gin n Juice – is no more.
Broadus told journalists on Tuesday that he's officially dropped the Dogg act and upgraded
his name to "Snoop Lion".
In all seriousness, Snoop says his decision is for real. The rapper says he underwent a spiritual
and artistic rebirth while in Jamaica where he's been working on his next album.
Rastafarian priests reportedly inspired the name change.
"I went to the temple, where the high priest asked me what my name was, and I
said, 'Snoop Dogg'," he told journalists on Tuesday. "And he looked me in my eyes
and said: 'No more. You are the light. You are the lion.' From that moment on, it's like
I had started to understand why I was there."
