Snoop Dogg, the iconic rapper and cannabis enthusiast, has sparked outrage after he shared a video of himself smoking weed with his granddaughters in the studio.
The 51-year-old hip-hop star posted the clip on his Instagram account on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, showing him puffing on a blunt while his two young granddaughters, Cori and Cordell, sat next to him on a couch.
The video, which was captioned “granddaughters”, received thousands of views and comments, many of them expressing shock and disappointment at Snoop’s behavior.
Some fans defended Snoop, saying that he was just having fun and that weed was harmless and legal in California, where he lives.
However, others pointed out that secondhand smoke from marijuana could still have negative effects on children’s health and development, and that Snoop was setting a bad example for his family and fans.
