Snoop Dogg made headlines as he debuted as a coach on The Voice during its season 26 premiere on September 23, 2024. The rapper, born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., surprised viewers with his impressive height when he rose from his chair to welcome the contestants on his team, towering over both them and the other coaches.
Snoop Dogg stands at an impressive height of 6 feet, 4 inches, equating to 76 inches. For perspective, the average height for men in the U.S. is 5 feet, 9 inches, or 69 inches.
In a fun comparison, Snoop Dogg is said to be around 3.8 dogs tall, which breaks down to approximately 3.3 boxers, 3.9 pit bulls, 3.38 labradoodles, or 6.3 French bulldogs, as reported by NBC.
Interestingly, many fans have noted his height compared to some NBA players. Though he is taller than Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry (6 feet, 2 inches) and Cleveland Cavaliers’ Donovan Mitchell (6 feet, 3 inches), several famous basketball stars exceed Snoop’s height, including Michael Jordan at 6 feet, 6 inches, LeBron James at 6 feet, 9 inches, and Kevin Durant at 6 feet, 11 inches. Shaquille O’Neal dwarfs them all at 7 feet, 1 inch, leading to humorous comments when Snoop shared a throwback photo with the former player.
As for his fellow coaches on The Voice, Snoop stands significantly taller than them. Gwen Stefani is the shortest at 5 feet, 6 inches, followed by Reba McEntire at 5 feet, 7 inches, and Michael Bublé, who is 5 feet, 10 inches tall. When the group stands together, Snoop appears to be significantly taller, coming to about shoulder height for his colleagues.
While height can be an asset in basketball, it plays a lesser role in coaching aspiring singers. Snoop expressed his enthusiasm for his new role earlier this year, stating his passion for music and his desire to guide emerging talent. He emphasized his versatile approach to music and coaching, declaring himself to be “the people’s champ.”
Fans can catch Snoop Dogg in action as new episodes of The Voice season 26 air on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.
