“I had a great time on The Voice . I ain’t gonna front, but when I did the contract, I thought, ‘I'm gonna do this for one year and get up outta here ,’” the musician admitted, however, Snoop Dogg’s mindset changed when he started filming.
The actor then noted how special he thinks the program, which has run since 2011, really is.
“It's such a great show. [There’s] a lot of great moments on there. It's a lot of emotion, inspiration, motivation, all of the above. And it's me coaching, doing what I love to do — to give back to artists who are trying to do something with their career,” the Grammy-nominated artist shared.

Elsewhere in the interview, the busy star — who flew into Mexico to perform a DJ set for 3,000 of Raising Cane’s restaurant leaders — explained how he stays motivated amid his busy work schedule.
"I got my work ethic from my mother. Me and my brothers had to wash clothes and wash dishes. I had to clip her toenails,” Snoop Dogg recalled of his mom, Beverly Tate , who passed away in 2021. "It trained me to get up, get out and take care of others and want to have some hustle .”
Along with his incredible work ethic, the father-of-four — who shares sons Corde , 30, and Cordell , 27, and daughter Cori , 25, with his wife, Shante Broadus , and son, Julian , 26, with ex Laurie Helmond — credited his family for his success.
“She's like my backbone in life ,” Snoop Dogg said of Broadus, whom he married in 1977. "I have so much trust and faith in my wife.”

The businessman noted how the matriarch does an amazing job at keeping him connected to his brood while he is off working around the world.
“When it comes to my family — just a minute ago before I got here, my wife FaceTimed me from Disneyland with my grandkids. She knows I’m out here doing this, [but she says] ‘Your grandkids wanna see where you work. I don't care if you are late for Raising Cane’s , get on FaceTime.'”

“I give her permission to give me time and to make time for those love moments and those special moments with the people that I care about the most.
