The Huffington Post reports that Snoop somehow managed to get a weed question wrong on Celebrity Family Feud.
Rapper, Snoop Dogg, made an unforgettable appearance on Empire’s first season. He stood by Hakeem Lyon’s side on stage while he called out his father. Lucious made him eat his words by punching him in the face. The former Death Row Records rapper made it clear that he didn’t have anything to do with Hakeem’s insulting lyrics.
Over the years, one thing he hasn’t made clear is his name. We may have referred to the legendary West Coast rapper as “Snoop Dogg” on the show but he is a man of many names. This article will discuss all of them.
