At 53, Snoop Dogg has long been a cultural icon, especially for his outspoken love of marijuana.
But even the “Gin and Juice” rapper knows that moderation is key, which is why he takes some surprisingly responsible precautions to keep his sessions in check. To keep things balanced, Snoop has a dedicated staff member on hand to ensure guests don’t go overboard while smoking with him.
Recently, while chatting with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live, Snoop was asked about the “lightest weight” smoker he’s ever lit up with. Although the rapper couldn’t name anyone right away, he playfully invited Andy to join him for a smoke and test his own limits, saying, “Let’s see if you make the list!”
Andy took him up on it, adding with a laugh, “I did okay!” He then went on to share an insider’s look at how Snoop’s team manages these smoke-filled sessions. “Snoop has a guy with him who will kind of step in and say, ‘Hey, that’s enough,’” Andy revealed, noting that the staff member is always ready to hit pause if things start getting too intense.
Snoop’s team isn’t just about regulating smoke breaks, either. The rapper has previously shared that he employs a full-time “professional blunt roller,” a role taken up by a skilled roller named Renegade Piranha. “Timing,” Snoop explained on The Howard Stern Show, is everything. “That motherf*****’s timing is impeccable.” It’s a job he takes seriously, listing his occupation proudly as “P-B-R, professional blunt roller.”
The blunt-rolling position with Snoop is well-compensated, earning between $40,000 to $50,000 annually, along with some enviable perks. Snoop added, “Free weed—all paid expenses. Everything I get, he gets. If I get some free clothes, he gets some.” And evidently, it’s a role with growth potential—Snoop recently hinted that Renegade has even enjoyed a pay bump.
With an entourage dedicated to keeping things cool and controlled, Snoop’s sessions reflect a laid-back yet careful approach to enjoying his favorite pastime. It’s not just about lighting up; it’s about lighting up responsibly—Snoop Dogg style.
