Snoop Dogg is everywhere this week, showing a professional momentum that suggests new chapters in his already legendary story. Variety and Consequence report that Snoop will star in and co-produce a sci-fi movie called The Last Man, a collaboration with director Luc Besson, famous for The Fifth Element. Snoop teased the project last month as a “dogs instead of apes” riff on Planet of the Apes, and filming is scheduled for 2025. Working alongside Besson and EuropaCorp, Snoop’s Death Row Pictures is stepping deeper into film, signaling a serious expansion of his business empire.
That same mogul energy spans music and live performance, too. Snoop Dogg is set to headline the Illinois State Fair Grandstand on August 13, 2025, in Springfield—a highly anticipated gig that taps into his nearly three-decade career and attracts multiple generations. The Illinois Department of Agriculture highlights not just his enduring popularity, but also his cross-industry influence as a serial entrepreneur with interests ranging from Web 3.0 to cannabis and everything in between.
The BET Awards 2025 are about to be another milestone. According to Powerslc, Snoop Dogg will receive the Ultimate Icon Award alongside names like Mariah Carey and Jamie Foxx—an affirmation from the industry itself of his lasting legacy, and a headline moment likely to stay in the hip-hop history books. Social media is buzzing about his recent live performance at the awards, as reported by TikTok, where he was noted for performing with Lil Wayne and more—another showcase of his cultural relevance.
On the softer side, Entertainment Now details how Snoop charmed fans on June 28 by introducing his adorable new puppy BabyBoy Broadus on social media. The wholesome content quickly racked up views and shares, showing that even small personal moments become big news when Snoop is involved.
Elsewhere, Snoop is the subject of local news and viral moments, including a widely shared story on YouTube about a car dealership manager kicking him out, unaware Snoop was actually the new owner—a classic setup that plays into his persona as both relatable and untouchable. Threads users are also buzzing about a throwback video of Snoop running the 200m dash at the U.S. Olympic Trials in a Kobe Bryant shirt, blending sports nostalgia with his trademark charisma.
And in a nod to his roots and ongoing influence, WYPR’s The Good News emphasized his role as a global performer and philanthropist, exemplifying career longevity and community impact. No major controversies or speculative news dominate the cycle—just a series of powerful, verified headlines that underline why Snoop Dogg continues to shape music, film, business, and public culture alike.
