Snoop Dogg Joins The Voice as a First-Time Coach for Season 26
Snoop Dogg, the iconic rapper whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., is making his debut as a coach on NBC’s “The Voice” this season, which premiered on September 23. Born on October 20, 1971, he earned his nickname from the Peanuts character Snoopy and has since become a cultural phenomenon.
Starting his journey in music by rapping in school halls, Snoop gained fame in the ’90s, collaborating with artists like Nate Dogg and Dr. Dre to shape West Coast hip-hop. His unique style, charisma, and street cred quickly won over audiences worldwide. Now, in addition to his musical career, Snoop engages in various ventures, including collaborating with Martha Stewart and commentating at the Olympics.
At 6’4″, or 76 inches, Snoop Dogg stands significantly taller than the average American male height of 5’9″. To provide some interesting context, he would be equivalent to approximately 3.8 medium-sized dogs when measured by height, with specific breeds yielding different comparisons.
Snoop Dogg also shared a quirky story about a cockroach he once befriended, which he named “The Gooch.” This cockroach grew to the size of a dollar bill during Snoop’s time in an apartment, showcasing his unique approach to experiences.
In the music industry, Snoop boasts a robust collection of certified records, including platinum certifications for his classic hits from his debut album “Doggystyle” and more recent collaborations, demonstrating his lasting impact on the music scene.
As a first-time coach on “The Voice,” Snoop Dogg joins fellow coaches Gwen Stefani, Reba McEntire, and Michael Bublé. He stands taller than his competitors, with Gwen at 5’6″, Reba at 5’7″, and Bublé at 5’10”. The season ahead will reveal how his mentoring style measures up against the other coaches as they seek to build their teams during the Blind Auditions.
