Snoop Dogg Gives Back to the Community Amid LA Wildfires

During his appearance on the talk show, Snoop gave an update about how his family is doing amid this tragedy. “The family’s doing good, just a couple of intermediate people that I do know that I consider family that lost everything,” he said. “So, we did what we do — we come, and we support, and we pull our troops together, and we make sure that we represent and we give them everything that they need.”

Snoop noted, “California, this is like our first time dealing with [wildfires], and the way that California is coming together, the way that the world is helping us — that’s the important thing. People are coming together and they’re not looking at differences. They’re just looking at trying to make a difference.”

The rapper also discussed the importance of getting donations to the people that need them and how he’s supporting that effort.

“A lot of times when we put these donations together, certain people don’t get it,” he said. “What my team does is we go on the ground and we make sure that we make a direct connect with those people, to make sure that we’re not missing anybody. That’s what we do — it’s about love, man.”

Snoop also recognized the firefighters for going above and beyond. “They have the toughest job and they don’t never get no credit, and they always show up and they do what’s best,” Snoop noted. “And when the job is over with, it’s like they’re forgotten about.
