Snoop Dogg has been everywhere these past few days and true to form, his moves have spanned business, family, media, and pure showmanship. The biggest headline is his recognition as a cultural powerhouse—Snoop was just honored with the Ultimate Icon Award at the 2025 BET Awards alongside Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx, and Kirk Franklin. The emotional ceremony at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater on June 9, hosted by Kevin Hart, included special live performances and tributes to 25 years of *106 & Park*, capping off with Snoop being celebrated for both his musical legacy and impact on culture, advocacy, and community. The event was stacked with performances from Lil Wayne, Mariah Carey, and others, making Snoop's accolade one of the night’s standout moments according to People and BET.
On the business and media front, ConnectComm Magazine’s July issue released July 7 puts Snoop Dogg front and center for a cover feature diving into his transformation from laid-back rap legend to global game changer and business leader. The article details how Snoop has leveraged his authenticity and leadership to drive entrepreneurial ventures and philanthropic efforts, with a particular emphasis on equity and empowerment. The cover story highlights his recent 2025 USC Marshall School of Business commencement address and his continued evolution into a cross-industry powerhouse, a testament to both his hustle and his ever-widening influence.
If you’re watching TV, Snoop just kicked off filming for Season 28 of *The Voice* as a coach, reuniting with Michael Bublé and joined by Reba McEntire and Niall Horan. He previewed the new season with behind-the-scenes footage in his July 8 Instagram Stories, keeping fans hyped for the fall premiere, as reported by NBC.
On the personal side, Snoop spent the 4th of July weekend deeply immersed in family time, sharing a series of heartwarming social media posts showing him doting on his grandchildren. This softer side of Snoop has fans swooning, with thousands commenting on what a cool and loving grandpa he is, according to Entertainment Now.
Bittersweet family news surfaced as well: Snoop mourned the loss of his beloved French bulldog Juelz, a gift from Wiz Khalifa, announcing the passing on Instagram in mid-June. Less than a month later, he introduced fans to his new pup, Baby Boy Broadus, with the dog already starring in its own Instagram posts and quickly amassing fans. RapTV and iHeart highlighted this story and the sheer loyalty of his fanbase.
And, in classic Snoop Dogg style, he delivered a viral moment on July 4, reacting with surprise during an appearance alongside 50 Cent—reminding everyone that the Doggfather’s charisma is as fresh as ever on social media and the public stage.
