Snoop Dogg recently opened up about his decision to turn down a lucrative offer from OnlyFans during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. When a fan inquired whether it was true he rejected a $100 million deal to join the adult content platform, the 53-year-old rap icon confirmed the rumor with a humorous twist.
“I did turn down $100 million, yes. The only part that regrets it is my friend down there,” he quipped, gesturing towards his crotch. Cohen then playfully asked if Snoop’s “d— wanted the exposure,” to which Snoop replied, “He said that $100 million he would’ve been able to spend untaxed!”
In a January Instagram Live interview on Wake & Bake with Double S Express, Snoop revealed that the platform approached him with the substantial offer, suggesting he could earn the money by simply posting NSFW content. However, he declined the offer out of respect for his wife of 27 years, Shante Broadus. “I’m like, I got a Black wife. 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,” he explained.
OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform that has significantly impacted the adult entertainment industry, saw its owner Leonid Radvinsky receive over $338 million in dividends in 2022. This figure translates to about $1.3 million for each of the 260 working days of the year, according to financial statements from Fenix International Ltd., the platform’s parent company.
Snoop Dogg isn’t the only celebrity navigating the OnlyFans landscape. Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios joined last year in an effort to revolutionize how sports figures share content. Meanwhile, Sopranos actress Drea de Matteo revealed that her 13-year-old son edits her photos for her OnlyFans account.
Looking ahead, Snoop’s 20th album, titled Missionary, is set for release in November. This upcoming project marks his first collaboration with Dr. Dre since the classic 1993 album Doggystyle. Snoop expressed his excitement about working with Dre, stating, “In my mind, I made it up that I’m going to go back to being Snoop Doggy Dogg. I want to be the student, the kid, the passenger. I want to humble myself and go in the studio with him and allow him to, you know, work on me and tell me what I need to do and produce me.”
