Multi-platinum artist Snoop Dogg is known for being one of the most legendary rappers of all time. Throughout his decorated career, he has also earned a reputation as a cannabis connoisseur.
The rapper recently revealed that he once quit smoking for a significant period of time. During R&B singer Charlie Wilson’s Walk of Fame ceremony, Snoop revealed that Wilson helped him quit smoking for 120 days.
“Then came another stage in my life when I coached youth soccer. “Charlie pushed me aside.” Snoop said. “AND [he] He said, ‘Snoop, you shouldn’t smoke around those kids.’ And I stopped smoking for about 120 days.”

Rapper praises Charlie Wilson’s wife
Wilson wasn’t the only person who came down hard on Snoop and his smoking habit. She was also the wife of the singer, Mahin Tat. The rapper recalled one of the first times he worked with Wilson early in his career. At the time, Wilson had just begun his rehabilitation. Tat forbade anyone to smoke in the studio while Charlie was present.
“Let me tell you about his wife because she deserves a lot of credit for this. “When we first met Charlie, when I was at Death Row Records, and he was just starting his rehabilitation, his wife at the time was his counselor,” he said.
“She came into the studio and told us, ‘No one can smoke if Charlie is in the studio. So the first day we were like, ‘Man, who is this lady trying to tell us what to do?’ What are you smoking? We are doing what we want to do. You can kick rocks with all that.’”
Snoop went on to detail a deeper conversation he and Tat had where the two were able to connect on an intellectual level.
“She took me aside and spoke to me like my mother, and my mother always taught me to respect women and elders,” he added. “She respected me so much that we didn’t smoke in the studio near Charlie Wilson when we were working.”
Ed Sheeran remembers getting high with Snoop Dogg
Snoop is perhaps the most famous stoner of all time. Several people have recalled his encounters with the hip-hop star. One of those people was singer Ed Sheeran. Sheeran says his experience with Snoop was so wild he couldn’t see.
“He said, ‘Do you want some?’ so I had a little bit and I thought, I don’t feel so bad, this is good,” Sheeran recalled.
“Then I have a little more, and then I have a little more, and then I have a little more. I just remember looking at it and saying, ‘I can’t see right now.'”
