“Not any more. You are the light. You are the lion.”

“At that moment I understood why I was there,” Snoop ‘Lion’ said.

Snoop also said that his next album will be Reggae music because rap doesn’t excite him anymore.

According to the Snoop, his new name and his new music genre are part of him being reborn.

One individual who was present at the conference said that just maybe Snoop was smoking ‘some really good stuff’ and added, ‘if not, we’ll know him now as Snoop Lion’.
