Snoop Dogg announces the rescheduled dates for his ‘I wanna thank me’ UK and Ireland arena tour set to take place in August and September 2022.

After moving the tour dates Snoop said “My biggest priority is to keep my team and my fans safe, due to ongoing issues with the pandemic we have to push back again to make sure we can go to every country on the tour in a safe way. IT’S GOIN DOWN NEXT YEAR!”.

The tour is in celebration of the West Coast rapper’s 17th album I wanna thank me, an album that will celebrate 25 years of the rap legend.

Snoop has enlisted a number of west coast rap legends to join him on his tour. He will be joined by Warren G, Tha Dogg pound, Obie trice, D12 and Xzibit.

Snoop was born Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. in Long Beach, California, on October 20, 1971. His nickname, Snoop Dogg, came from his mother because she thought he looked like Snoopy from the Peanuts cartoon. He played the piano and sang at his local Baptist church, before starting rap in sixth grade. After graduating high school, Snoop was arrested several times for drug possession and spent time in prison. He was also associated with the Rollin’ 20 Crips Gang.
He started making music as a way out of his troubles and recorded early demos with his cousin Nate Dogg and friend Warren G as 213. A track on one of these came to the attention of Dr. Dre, they collaborated on a song called “Deep Cover” for the soundtrack of the film for the same name; and Snoop became the key rapper on Dre’s hugely successful first solo album, The Chronic, in 1992.

Snoop was first discovered by fellow rap royalty, Dr Dre in the early 1990s, appearing on the producers classic album The chronic in 1992. The rapper has gone on to sell millions of records, appear in some of the biggest movies and ultimately solidify himself as not only rap royalty but entertainment royalty

He is loved by hip-hop fans worldwide, and is one of the most recognizable faces and voices of the whole genre, even to those who don’t listen to his music. He has the accolade for having the most Grammy nominations of any music artist,17 to date, without having won one. But as Snoop Dogg shows few signs of retiring, don’t write him off just yet.
