This week, he said Snoop Dogg spared his fans from having to purchase subscriptions to observe his products online.

The California native sat down with actor and talk show host Seth Meyers and Martha Stewart on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” where he ended up telling the story of why he turned down an enormous sum of money to star on OnlyFans.

The show’s host Cohen invited one of his virtual guests to ask questions, and one woman from Alabama asked an issue specifically for Snoop.

She said, “Hey, is it true that out of respect for your wife you turned down $100 million to be on OnlyFans? Is there any part of you that regrets this decision?”

Confirming that the rumor is true, Snoop stated: “Yes, I did indeed turn down $100 million, that is true. The only part that regrets that is my friend down there.

Wanting more clarification, Cohen asked: “Does your dick wish you had joined OnlyFans? Did your dick want exposure?

“He said he could spend $100 million tax-free,” Snoop joked. “But I told him it wasn’t your decision. This time I’m not considering with my little head. I’m going to think big and you will not understand any of it.

Cohen, who seemed intrigued, continued the query: “What percentage of the time do you think you’re thinking with the big head over the little one?”

The West Coast legend replied: “The big head is why I’m where I’m, so I take advantage of about 98.9 percent of his considering and the opposite 1.3 percent is concentrated on the little guy.

Fans reacted to a headline about Snoop rejecting an OnlyFans offer on The Uncutt’s Instagram page. One person he said“Nobody wants to see Snoop naked.”

But one other fan wrote: “Sorry, I would not put my wife first, honey, that 100 million will come first. Can you make 100 million for me? No, OK: and that is why I’m single.

Other fans couldn’t help but mention Snoop’s past crimes of infidelity during his 27-year marriage to Shante Broadus.

“He has been hurting his wife all these years. Why did her opinion matter this time? Is she sick?” one person said, while one other added: “I side with my wife! he had embarrassed her enough over time.

It is common knowledge that Snoop and Shante have struggled with cheating issues from the very starting of their marriage.

Almost a yr after their wedding, Laurie Helmond gave birth to Snoop’s son, Julian, in 1998. Snoop already had two children, Corde and Cordell, together with his wife, and in 1999, they welcomed daughter Cori.

Snoop’s cheating has been criticized before, corresponding to in 2018 when Celina Powell, a lady and influencer whose status grew after bragging about hooking up with several rappers, accused him of sleeping along with her.

During this time, she posted text messages, photos and videos to prove she had been communicating with Snoop.

Earlier this yr, Snoop faced several unsubstantiated cheating allegations based on his wife’s cryptic online messages. But one thing seems certain: after almost thirty years of marriage, their love continues to be strong.

“I have a strong wife with a strong backbone and a good heart – she’s loving and caring, and we’re destined to be together,” Snoop told People in September. “When we said we were going to get married, we got married until death do us part. Isn’t that what it says? Not until fights or funds do us part, but until death do us part.

The term lifestyle is usually seen merely as a marketing pitch for products or brands, but when applied to a Chicagoan Woodie Whitestays a much simpler concept: get out and do exciting things. The first time I saw him was inside a series of videos on YouTube he did it with the NHL’s Arizona Coyotes. He starts by visiting the team’s facilities and learning about the every day lifestyle of skilled hockey players. But soon, he adds ON protective equipment, jersey, skates and ice heads. By the end, he watches the Coyotes play live and is totally absorbed in the motion. “Man, I had so much fun,” White recalled excitedly. “I think that’s what I’m looking for in life. It’s always nice to pick up new things, like new hobbies and new interests, and that’s what I do. Just what interests me.”

White founded the brand Oyster Holdings in 2014, with a business ethos of “Travel is Sport” and offering a wide selection of styles to wear while traveling. Over the next decade, Oyster expanded to incorporate the Oyster Expedition, a mountain climbing and outdoor adventure group, and the Oyster Tennis Club, a weekly gathering of individuals playing tennis on public courts. The goal is to extend the number of individuals, especially Black people, usually participating in these sports and activities. Now Oyster Tennis Club has began cooperation with the Swiss sportswear company On Roger Clubhouse Properformance-ready sneakers designed for tennis and on a regular basis life.

The clean and restrained design refers to the history of the sport. The ivory and evergreen color scheme pays homage to the grass courts of Wimbledon, where the sneaker’s namesake, former tennis player Roger Federer, won a record eight times. The same CloudTec performance features that make the brand beloved by runners also point to the way forward for the sport, making the model playable on multiple surfaces and worn in quite a lot of contexts. “For me, these are performance shoes. But they feel like a modern shoe that you want to have,” White said. “It means when I leave in the morning, go to work and run, and then on Wednesday at 6pm we have the Oyster Tennis Club match, I’m in the same shoes.” The Clubhouse Pro also comes with extra cushioning along the midsole. White is hesitant to call the lifestyle shoe collaboration On. “I do not really imagine on this category of lifestyle footwear. For me, lifestyle is something you reside, not something you create in terms of product.

Tennis sneakers have a deep cultural history, from Adidas’ legendary Stan Smith shoes and the cool Rod Lavers that debuted in 1970 to the brilliant neon Nike Air Tech Challenge shoes worn by Andre Agassi and the Reebok Court Victory Pumps worn by Michael Chang, each in the Nineteen Nineties. However, the sneaker’s place in the cultural zeitgeist has as much to do with how extraordinary people wore them each day as with their athletic achievements. Tennis can seem confined behind the tall hedges of country clubs or the closed doors of prohibitive training complexes. U.S. Open finalist Francis Tiafoe was only introduced to the sport through his father’s work as maintenance chief at a suburban Junior Tennis Center outside Washington, D.C., where he and his family sometimes slept in a warehouse.

A well-known theme in fashion, especially black fashion, has been to take the traditionally elitist aesthetics of country clubs, Ivy Leagues – polo shirts, button-down oxfords, striped rugby shirts, tennis shoes – and transform them right into a more democratic, accessible and classy look. Changing the different canvases on which clothing is presented – from suburban to urban, private to public – can completely change the context of the garment and its wearers. Roger Clubhouse Pro is each a part of this tradition and separate from it. “It’s like we took the green and white aesthetic of a country club, put it on a professional tennis model and then brought it to the park,” White said. “It’s the same aesthetic of luxury, but now you can see it in a park with cracked courts.”

Oyster Tennis Club is attempting to further this subversion by changing the context around where equipment ought to be worn, who’s playing and where it ought to be played. “The social part and my involvement in spaces that are not traditionally ours was just an interest of mine,” White said. “I’ve had experiences in some neighborhoods where people have come up to us and asked if you live here,” White said, recalling events at the Oyster Tennis Club. “Because you are playing tennis on a public court in Pacific Palisades, but the attitude is, ‘What are you doing driving through the hills in search of a tennis court?’ And you then realize that you just should not welcome there.

The next time I see White, I’m on a Zoom call. Due to a little bit confusion about time zones once we planned our chat, it was early for him. But he’s punctual and able to talk as soon as he drinks his coffee. He’s in quite an excellent mood. “I was just looking at the gram and saw (footage of) the Shanghai Rolex Masters. Roger Federer pulled up and I thought, “Oh, great.” He’s at the Rolex Masters. He is a Rolex athlete. He jumps out of the car and what is he wearing?: Oyster Clubhouse professionals,” he said with a smile. What’s next for Oyster Tennis Club after its sneaker collaboration made waves around the world? “More tennis. We wish to expand to Atlanta. We wish to keep the free urban tennis movement alive, attract people and construct community.

I actually have a friend who, while in college, would buy any CD (remember that?) by any artist he had even heard a little bit about. Said artist’s talent was less necessary than supporting various homies and fans of superstar rappers and singers. As a collective, all my friends joked that he was the only one that actually bought Young Turk’s debut album (Hot Boy that Lil Wayne, Juvenile or BG – no shade), Young & Thuggin’ – the album title I had to envision out. (Which is saying something, considering the 1999-2000 debut albums by Cash Money Records artists were a banger.)

Either way, while I often added fun or two to the joke session, I could only be so amused; in highschool, I used to be that friend who bought all the artists’ albums that no one else was buying. I could not help myself; I had such a voracious appetite for music that I had to listen to every thing, even when I had no idea who the artist was, but possibly indirectly they jogged my memory of an artist I would know – especially if he was from the West Coast. I used to be a fanatic about West Coast artists and NWA. While the listening experience for these albums is very different at this point in my life, albums like “The Chronic” by Dr. Dre, Ice Cube’s “Death Certificate”, DJ Quik’s “Safe +Sound”, etc. were my absolute favorites to hearken to Do. Each of these albums still holds spots on my list of favorite albums of all time.

Each of these albums often featured artists or groups who made songs that were cool enough for a verse, but whose subsequent albums weren’t excellent. I do know this because like I said, I purchased ALL of their records, especially the ones related to DJ Quik. Well, it’s getting worse; I used to be so immersed in the sound and music of that era that even the mention of it by one of these artists made me buy the album.

This is how I discovered myself in a small group of individuals who bought the debut album by Lil ½ Dead, rapper and comrade of Snoop Dogg and Dogg Pound from Long Beach, California. I used to be minding my very own little business in October 1994, either at Sam Goody or one of Huntsville’s other now-defunct record stores, Madison Square Mall in Alabama, after I got here across “The Dead Has Arisen.” I learned Lil ½ Dead’s name from a Snoop Dogg verse “The Boy from the Little Ghetto” from the album Dr. Dre “The Chronic”. I suppose I didn’t know if it was the same one, but what number of rappers will be called Lil ½ Dead, right?

Lifestyle

I had the lowest expectations for the album. First, I only knew his name; I didn’t actually hear his voice, much less a verse from him. I didn’t know what I used to be getting, but I assumed it will be the same West Coast G-funk sound that was in vogue at the time.

What I heard knocked me off my feet.

While Lil ½ Dead is funny, even funny as a rapper, the lyrics throughout the album are full of house parties, gang shootings, rampant violence and misogyny; mainly every thing most west coast Los Angeles albums were stuffed with at the time. While this is not a great thing, it was normal in that era. Lil ½ Dead is neither great nor terrible as a rapper, but a serviceable voice and guide to an otherwise true gem of an album.

The production on this album is amazing. Controlled entirely by Tracy Kenrick AND Courtney Branch — two producers I learned produced songs from a litany of my favorite 90s West Coast albums — the entire album is full of smooth, soulful productions that I’ve never heard before. There is not a single beat on the entire album that might be considered even average; The fact that Snoop (or anyone from that era) didn’t hear this album and ask to play on every beat is surprising to me. I’ve been working on this album for 30 years and I’m still amazed at how well it is produced.

If Dr. Dre worked with Tracy and Courtney to combine this album and run it through the Death Row publicity machine, I actually have no doubt that “The Dead Has Arisen” could be as successful as any Tha Dogg Pound or Warren G album, all you Lil ½ Dead homies . In fact, one of the biggest questions I’ve asked myself over the years is why none of these collaborators were featured on this album. Perhaps it was produced and finished on the side and everybody was delighted after the fact.

For example, one of my favorite hip-hop beats ever (and I’m not exaggerating) is on this album: “East, West”. This beat is literally perfect. If Dr. Dre used this beat on “The Chronic”, I’m sure we might speak about this song in the same breath as “Dre Day” and “Nuthin’ But a G Thang”. From the single “12 Pacofdoja” to the Roy Ayers sampling of “That’s What You Get,” each beat hits the spot perfectly, perfect for driving around in a low-rider or minivan.

I still hearken to this album purely for the production quality. It’s reminiscent of the same conversations New York hip-hop artists are having about Group Home’s “Livin’ Proof,” where the conversation often centers on what might have been if higher rappers had these beats. The beats on The Dead Has Arisen are so good that I can not help but wonder what this album might have been in the lyrical hands of Death Row’s more popular talent.

But what is life without a little bit wonder? What I do know is that Lil ½ Dead, a rapper that the overwhelming majority of people either do not know or have already forgotten, still has one of the best-produced albums of all time, even 30 years later and 1000’s of years later. and 1000’s of albums were created. That’s a feat in itself; I still return and hearken to “The Dead Has Arisen” since it sounded SO good in 1994 and 30 years later it hasn’t lost any of its musical luster.
