Snoop Dogg assures world he could make $100 million by getting his "thang" out on OnlyFans…but won't
The world breathes a weary sigh of relief as Snoop Dogg makes it clear his wife wouldn't appreciate him taking a porn-based payday
If the world gave medals out for things that people could do—but opted not to, because it would thoroughly piss off their wives—then Snoop Dogg would likely be in line for one this week: The rapper revealed in a recent interview that he was apparently approached by OnlyFans—the content creation site that is, from the ads we see online, like 90 percent wholesome celebrity cooking videos these days, we’re sure—at some point in the recent past. In the interview, he says someone approached him to tell him that the site (which has expanded its profile, and occasionally annoyed its more regular users, by currying celebrity favor at various points in its complicated history with adult content) “wants you to come on there, Snoop. You could do about $100 million.” But he declined, despite what was, all told, a fairly straightforward ask: “All you gotta do is pull that thang out.”
Given the frankly mind-boggling number of things that Snoop Dogg has made, performed, endorsed, and more in order to make money during his wide-ranging, hyper-commercialized pop culture career, it’s mostly just fascinating to find out there is, in fact, a line he won’t cross in pursuit of cash. (Although he will humblebrag that he totally could, to the tune of a nine-figure payday.) Per People, the rapper revealed this factoid on a recent installment of Instagram Live show Wake & Bake with Double S Express, also revealing the reason he turned down the cash-for-thang proposal: His wife, Shante Broadus.
“I’m like, I got a Black wife,” Snoop said in the interview. “Ain’t no way in the world she gonna allow me to go on there and pull that thang out for no amount of money.” (This, despite the alleged dollar-per-thang ratio in question being almost unimaginably high.) The couple, who met in high school, have been married since 1997—although they did spend a few years separated in the mid-2000s, during a period in which Snoop claimed, in a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone, that he was working at least part-time as an actual pimp, bringing sex workers with him on tour and selling their services to professional athletes. (“My wife had to take a backseat to this shit,” he declared in the interview, while also thanking her for still being there “when I decided to let it go.”) We’re just saying, Snoop Dogg contains multitudes—you just won’t see them on OnlyFans.
