Reddit Founder Raves About Snoop Dogg’s Savvy Investment Skills
Snoop Dogg, the legendary rapper, has been praised by Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian for his early investment in the online platform. Ohanian took to social media with a photo of himself and Snoop Dogg, acknowledging the rapper’s faith in the product when few others did. Snoop Dogg was one of the earliest investors at Reddit during its spin-out and turnaround phase, showcasing his support for the platform from the beginning. Ohanian’s post highlighted Snoop Dogg’s loyalty as a “Day One” investor, recognizing his crucial role in Reddit’s development.
Additionally, Snoop Dogg recently teamed up with Dr. Dre for a short film promoting their new alcoholic beverage, Gin & Juice. Named after their classic song of the same title, the short film transports viewers to the Prohibition era, exploring the origins of the popular drink. In the cinematic visual, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre embody gun-toting bootleggers, accompanied by actress Nicola Peltz Beckham and country singer Hardy. The short film also features Hardy’s country-themed remix of Snoop’s 1993 hit, produced by Dr. Dre, adding a contemporary twist to the nostalgic narrative.
In a press release, Hardy expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with two Hip Hop icons, describing Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre as genuine and welcoming individuals. Hardy shared his disbelief at being able to record his own version of ‘Gin and Juice’ for the launch of the new drink, emphasizing his excitement and appreciation for the experience. The collaboration between Hardy, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg symbolizes a fusion of musical genres and eras, capturing the essence of creativity and camaraderie.
