West Coast legends Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are back in the headlines, but this time it ain’t for a new fire track. This time, it’s all about Dre throwing some playful shade at Snoop’s busy schedule in a recent interview. Is this a Dogg Pound break-up? Nah, but it seems even hip-hop icons gotta deal with a little brotherly beef.
Dre, the OG himself, sat down with James Corden on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine and spilled the tea about Snoop’s side hustles. Apparently, Dre thinks Snoop’s got too much on his plate. “I personally think he does too much shit, and we’ve been battling and bumping heads about [it],” Dre revealed, according to HipHopDX.
Hold up, Dre dissin’ Snoop? Not exactly. Dre says it’s all out of love, like a big bro lookin’ out for his little homie. “Hell yeah I tell him that,” Dre said. “I’m always in my big brother mode.” We can just imagine Snoop’s response: “Come on cuz, let a Dogg do his thang!” Dre even called it “sibling rivalries,” proving this is more playful than problematic.
One thing Dre might be grumbling about? Remember that time Snoop “quit weed” last year to promote smokeless fire pits? Yeah, that stunt didn’t exactly blaze it up for the company’s CEO. Maybe Dre prefers Snoop to focus on dropping dope beats, not dropping marketing bombs.
But this interview wasn’t all lighthearted. Dre also opened up about his health scare last year. Surviving a brain aneurysm and three strokes is no joke, and Dre admitted he initially ignored the warning signs. “I got lucky my son’s friend stepped in,” Dre said, reflecting on his two-week ICU stay. This experience made Dre seriously appreciate his health and re-evaluate his lifestyle, even though he already considered himself a health nut.
So, what’s the takeaway? Dre and Snoop might have their disagreements, but their bond is as strong as ever. Plus, Dre’s health scare serves as a reminder to everyone to prioritize their well-being. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we’re gonna go bump some classic Chronic while sending good vibes to Dre.
