In a surprising turn of events, hip-hop icons Snoop Dogg and Meek Mill have both announced they are quitting smoking.
Snoop, the self-proclaimed “King of Weed,” made the revelation earlier today, stating that he had made the decision after much thought and discussion with his family. “I’m giving up smoke,” he simply declared.
While Snoop’s announcement sent shockwaves through the hip-hop community, it was Meek Mill’s decision that truly raised eyebrows. The Philadelphia rapper, who has long been associated with cannabis culture, revealed that he was quitting smoking due to health concerns. His doctor had informed him that he had early signs of emphysema, and that continuing to smoke could significantly shorten his lifespan.
Mill’s commitment to quit smoking comes just weeks after his criminal record was officially expunged. The rapper had been entangled in the justice system for over a decade, stemming from drug and firearms charges. His case gained national attention due to allegations of unfair treatment and excessive sentencing.
