Snoop Dogg confesses that giving up smoking was a promotional stunt. In a tweet that went viral on social media last week, the rapper announced that he was “giving up smoke.” This announcement was part of an advertising campaign for a smokeless fire pit.
The news that Snoop Dogg was giving up smoking, which was received with a great deal of suspicion from his followers, was, in reality, to tease an advertising campaign for… a fire pit, as Snoop Dogg disclosed on Monday during his interview.
After Snoop, a rapper who is known to be a lover of marijuana, announced on social media on Thursday that he was “giving up smoke,” his followers began to wonder whether he was serious about his decision. Monday was the day when he verified that he was not.
Snoop Dogg confesses that giving up smoking was a promotional stunt.”I am well aware of what you are thinking: Snoop! When it comes to you, smoke is pretty much everything! In a video advertisement that was shown on X, he said, “But I’m done with it.” “From now on, I won’t be smoking. On the Solo Stove, fire was fixed. When they remove the smoke, they do so.
Calvin Broadus, better known by his stage name Snoop Dogg, is shown in the advertisement roasting marshmallows in front of a metal fire pit manufactured by Solo Stove.
The limited-edition fire pit sold by Solo Stove was referred to as “The Snoop Stove,” and the company said that it was “hot enough to make the Doggfather go smokeless.”
The declaration that Snoop made the previous week was met with skepticism by his followers, with some of them pointing out on X that the phrase “I’m giving up smoke” rather than “smoking” seemed dubious.
With marijuana leaves appearing on his album covers, merchandising, and music videos, Snoop Dogg, who is 52 years old, has made smoking a central part of his brand for the most of his career.
It is even possible for him to have a chat show on YouTube called “Double G News,” in which he smokes marijuana with celebrities such as the actress Tiffany Haddish and the rappers D Smoke and Moneybagg Yo. Users of X questioned how much money he gained from the marketing strategy. “Asking the Pope to give up preaching for a brand deal,” was one of the comparisons that was made about the falsehood.
Another person said that he “had the world’s stoners questioning their life choices for this advertisement.”
