Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., widely known as Snoop Dogg, was born on October 20, 1971, as the second of three siblings. His childhood fascination with the Peanuts character Snoopy led to his enduring nickname. Snoop Dogg is currently a first-time coach on NBC’s The Voice, which premiered on September 23.
Snoop’s journey into music began in school, where he discovered his passion for rapping and captivating audiences. He later collaborated with artists like Nate Dogg, Warren G, and Dr. Dre, helping to shape the sound of West Coast hip hop in the 1990s. His unique vocal style and charismatic personality quickly made him a global icon, appearing in various forms throughout his career.
Snoop has transitioned into numerous roles, from co-hosting with Martha Stewart to providing commentary for the Olympics and now coaching on The Voice. He stands at an impressive height of 6’4″, or 76 inches, which gives him a notable advantage as the average male height in the United States is 5’9″.
In a playful comparison, Snoop’s height can be measured using different animals. For example, he is approximately 3.8 medium-sized dogs tall, based on the average shoulder height of a dog. If we look at specific breeds he owns, such as boxers and pit bulls, he measures around 3.3 boxers or 3.9 pit bulls in height.
During an interview in 2023, Snoop shared an interesting anecdote about a cockroach he befriended after moving into a new apartment. He nicknamed it “The Gooch,” and according to his accounts, the cockroach grew to nearly 6 inches during his stay, much larger than the average roach, which is typically about 1.5 inches long.
In terms of music achievements, Snoop Dogg boasts numerous certifications from the RIAA, with both singles and albums like “Who Am I? (What’s My Name?)” and his debut album Doggystyle receiving platinum status. His accolades have continued with recent hits, including “Drop it Like it’s Hot” from 2007 and “Bad Decisions” in 2024.
Snoop’s height also compares interestingly to that of other coaches on The Voice. While he stands at 6’4″, Gwen Stefani is 5’6″, Reba McEntire is 5’7″, and Michael Bublé is 5’10”. This puts Snoop above his fellow coaches, leading to fascinating comparisons as the season unfolds. The outcome of Season 26 will ultimately reveal who will stand tallest in terms of mentorship and performance.
