In related news, Snoop (born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.) has announced plans to produce a biopic about his own life in conjunction with Universal Pictures, director Allen Hughes and writer Joe Robert Cole to make the upcoming film.
In a statement about the biopic Snoop said “I waited a long time to put this project together because I wanted to choose the right director, the perfect writer, and the greatest movie company I could partner with that could understand the legacy that I’m trying to portray on screen, and the memory I’m trying to leave behind.” “It was the perfect marriage. It was holy matrimony, not holy macaroni.”
Donna Langley, the chairwoman of Universal, added “Snoop Dogg’s life and legacy make him one of the most exciting and influential icons in popular culture.” “We met with Snoop shortly after he acquired Death Row Records and had the opportunity to hear his story in his own words. We are humbled to be able to create the lasting document of this singular artist.”
