US rapper Snoop Dogg has changed his name to Snoop Lion. Snoop Dogg believes that he is Bob Marley reincarnated and is embracing reggae instead of the culture of guns he once rapped about.
No rumors any more. US rapper Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr – the best known as Snoop Dogg, is officially dropped the Dogg act and upgraded his name to Snoop Lion. The artist Snoop Dogg said at a news conference in New York that he was born again during a visit to Jamaica a few months ago, and is ready to make music that his kids and grandparents can listen to.
The former gangster rapper Snoop Dogg is releasing a reggae album called Reincarnated in the fall. Snoopy said that in Jamaica, he connected with Bob Marley’s spirit and is now Bob Marley reincarnated. Bob Marley’s son Rohan attended the conference and gave Snoop Dogg his blessing. ‘,’ Snoop said .Ex-rapper Snoop Dogg has said of the spiritual Jamaican movement : ‘ I feel like I’ve always been Rastafarian. ‘

In all seriousness, Snoop Dogg says his decision is for real. The former gangster rapper Snoop Dogg says he underwent a spiritual and artistic rebirth while in Jamaica where he has been working on his next album. Rastafarian priests reportedly inspired the name change from Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion.
Snoop Dogg has told to the reporters : ‘ I went to the temple, where the high priest asked me what my name was, and I said, ‘Snoop Dogg. And he looked me in my eyes and said : ‘No more. You are the light. You are the lion.’ From that moment on, it’s like I had started to understand why I was there. ‘
Snoop Dogg is hardly the first musician to find religion or change his name mid-career, but unlike Puff Diddy or Cat Stevens, Snoop Dogg is also switching genres. Calling rap ‘ no longer a challenge ‘ Snoop Dogg says he will devote the rest of his career to reggae, beginning with his appropriately titled next album ‘ Reincarnation ‘.

The hip-hop heavyweight has taken on the new identity after undergoing a spiritual and artistic Snoop Dogg’s rebirth in Jamaica. Snoopy said he did not want to be Snoop Dogg on a reggae track.
He wanted to bury Snoop Dogg and become Snoop Lion, but he did not know that until he went to the temple and received the name Snoop Lion from the Nyabinghi priest. ‘ From that moment on, I started to understand why I was there and was able to create something magical in this Reincarnated project, something I haven’t done before in my career ‘, he has explained.
How long Snoop Dogg stays a Lion will depend on sales. Snoop has sold more than 12 million records in the United States, and over 30 million albums worldwide but his last album, Malice n Wonderland, performed poorly so a change of style and a raising of his profile may have been needed.
