Snoop Dogg is one of the most decorated names in rap history.The 50-year-old recording artist - whose real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. - was born in Long Beach, California, in October 20, 1971.He rose to prominence in the nineties under the stage name Snoop Doggy Dogg, collaborating with artists such as Dr Dre and released his debut solo album Doggystyle in November 1993 to critical and commercial success.Over recent years, Snoop has both furthered his success and hit inevitable bumps in the road.From becoming embroiled in a sex tape scandal with social media star Celina Powell to patching up his long-standing feud with Eminem, the rapper has also recently undertaken exciting new business ventures to increase his staggering net worth.Snoop and Eminem became embroiled in a feud following comments Snoop made in an interview in July 2020 that he wouldn't consider Slim Shady within the top 10 rappers of all time if it were not for Dr Dre's involvement in his career.Speaking on the US radio show The Breakfast Club, Snoop said: "White rappers had zero respect in rap… [Dre] has probably put Eminem in the position where he would be labelled one of the top 10 rappers ever."I don't think so, but the game feels like he's [one of the] top 10 lyricists and all that that comes with it.

That's just because he's with Dr Dre. And Dr Dre helped him find the best Eminem that he could find."Eminem didn't take kindly to the critique.He referenced Snoop's dig in his song 'Zeus', which featured the lyrics: "I'm used to people knocking me/But just not in my camp… Last thing I need is Snoop dogging me."However, the pair have since buried the hatchet.During an appearance on the Rolling Stone Music Now podcast last October, Snoop confirmed.
