Snoop Dogg has been speaking out about him and 50 Cent donating money to various rap legends in need over the years.
During a recent appearance on the All The Smoke podcast, Snoop talked about taking it upon himself to pay it forward to Hip-Hop figures who have fallen on hard times. “You’ve got to take care of your own, you’ve got to set an example,” the 52-year-old said of his charitable deeds, adding that he prefers not to publicize those gestures.
“We do it privately. I’ve done it many years with some of the artists that needed help, that needed physical and financial help. It’s not a public thing for me. I’m not going to say, ‘I helped him.’ But when they did that publicly, that’s what it’s supposed to be.”
Tha Doggfather also urged the current generation of rap stars to follow suit. “Respect your elders because you making all this money — not that you have to — but if you love this rapper and respect this rapper, you see he’s down on his luck, he may need some money but he has pride. He can’t even ask you ’cause he used to be you,” he said. “But you have enough man in you to say, ‘Unc, I’ma throw you something.’”
Snoop opted not to name any of the people he and Fif have donated money to, attributing their benevolence to their character as men. “That’s what it gotta be! But that’s who we are, that’s who me and 50 is. I can’t speak for everybody else, but if any O.G. that me and him respect — it’s happened a couple of times, that’s why I can bring his name up. I don’t have to say the person or the people.
“But [50] feel like I feel. If it’s a O.G. that need it, that’s down, that don’t know how to ask for it, I put it in. [Sometimes] they’re like, ‘Oh, 50 just…’ And I’m like, ‘Damn, he beat me to it.’”
